ing dark markings : an oblique fascia near the base terminating about the internal nervure ; two very 

 strongly waved and sinuated discal fasciae, which become united at the lower subcostal nervule, the inner 

 one then crossing the wnng at the apex of the cell, and terminating near the middle of the submedian nervure, 

 the outer one somewhat submarginal, and much less strongly waved and sinuated after passing the first 

 median nervule. till it terminates at the submedian nervure ; and a waved marginal fascia becoming obsolete 

 towards the anal angle. Underside pale greyish, marked as above, but with the yellow colouration of the 

 kindiviii^ richer aad darker, and with all the fasciae and spots very dark fuscous ; costal area of the forewing 

 pale fuscous. Body and legs more or less concolorous with the wings. This is not only a beautiful but also 

 an aberrant species, it being quite destitute of ocellated spots— a character which Professor Westwood was 

 reasonably of opinion should warrant its subgeneric separation. The wings are also semi-diaphanous, thus 

 allowing the fasci<e beneath to be vuible above." (Distant, 1. c.)
