blackened ; costal region dotted with black-brown, and the 

 dorsal margin clouded and blackened with abundance of 

 similar dots, a broad streak of which also lies along the 

 median nervure from the base ; the entire hind-marginal 

 and apical portion from the middle, except the costa, is 

 occupied smoothly with black-brown or black, in which the 

 nervures are sometimes faintly indicated in whitish dusting ; 

 cilia chequered, black and white. Hind wings elongated, 

 rounded behind; ground-colour as in the fore wings but 

 much obscured by a dusting of black-brown dots, and from 

 the base by smoky clouding and long smoky-brown hairs ; 

 along the costal region is a broad black-brown stripe to the 

 apex, this is continued along the hind margin as a narrow 

 broken border ; the middle of the wing is crossed by two 

 obscure, dusted, black slender bands ; cilia white or dusky- 

 white, irregularly barred or dashed with black. Female of 

 about the same expanse, anteuu^e simple, body stouter ; all 

 the wings pale orange-brown, fulvous, or yellow-brown ; the 

 markings verj^ nearly as described in the male, but less dis- 

 tinct ; the darker portions being dull umbreous or reddish- 

 brown, divided by lines of red or brighter brown along the 

 nervures ; usually also there are indications of two smoky- 

 brown transverse stripes from the costa beyond the middle, 

 which wholly or partially cross the fore wings and are repre- 

 sented upon the hind ; cilia of all the wings white, chequered 

 or dashed with brown. 



Underside in both sexes exceedingly pretty, the hind wings 

 especially so, the ground-colour of the fore wings more 

 creamy-yellow, smoother pale brown, or clearer white ; the 

 dark markings formed as on the upper side except that in 

 the dark blotch the costal portion is clouded with yellow or 

 white, in which is a dusting of red-brown ; cilia chequered 

 as above. Hind wings white, longitudinally striped with 

 yellow-brown or red-ljrown and dusted with the same ; in 

 the middle are two red-brown transverse stripes blackened 

 at intervals ; cilia yellow or white dashed with brown.
