extended id the middle into a large broad W ; from this and 

 the other angles of this line long black or brown-black wedges 

 or arrow-heads run inward, while the outer side of this line 

 is broadly clouded with dark brown or brown-black ; orbicular 

 stigma very large, ovate, oblique, sometimes quite elongated, 

 drab or pale brown, edged with black ; reniform stigma very 

 large, less distinct, edged inwardly with black, outwardly 

 with a broken whitish-brown obscuration which often assumes 

 a similar shape ; the central space around these stigmata is 

 often filled in with dark brown, which forms a central band 

 attaining the dorsal margin ; costa beyond the middle dotted 

 at intervals with white ; extreme hind margin edged with 

 flattened black triangles ; cilia rather crenulated, pale brown 

 dusted with dark brown and dashed with dull yellow ; a line 

 of this last colour lies along their base. Hind wings very 

 dusky, smoky-white at the base, shading into smoky-brown 

 in the middle ; the whole hind-marginal region filled with a 

 smoky-brown cloud which is preceded by a faint similar 

 slender line ; central spot large, pale smoky-brown ; nervures 

 similar ; hind margin slightly crenulated, edged with an un- 

 dulating black line ; cilia dusky white with the base yellow. 

 Underside of the foi-e wings pale umbreous or pale reddish- 

 brown, dorsal region pearlj'-white ; reniform stigma forming 

 a large black-brown crescent ; beyond it is a slender dark- 

 brown transverse line followed by a similar broad band, 

 notched below the costal margin. Hind wings dusky-white, 

 abundantly dusted along the costal and hind-marginal regions 

 with light umbreous ; central spot rather round, smoky-black ; 

 beyond the middle is a slender smoky-black transverse line, 

 dotted on the nervures ; a smoky-black cloud lies before the 

 hind margin. Body and legs light-brown ; leg-tufts pale 

 purplish-brown. 



Always and everywhere variable as already described, in 

 the shade of ground colour and depth of markings, especially 

 of the central cloudy band; in southern districts often 

 blotched with white before the apex and hind margin, or
