the third much smaller, subquadrate, not extending halfway 
across area 1b and only divided from the spot in area 2 by vein 2. 
Two further similar spots about equal in size to the last men- 
tioned are present, one in area 8, at about one-third from its 
base, oblong, its lower end directed outwardly and resting on 
vein 3; the other in area 1b, at about two-thirds from base, oval, 
and lying along vein 1, less translucent. Fringes of same shade 
of dark brown as the ground-colour of the wing. Hind wing: 
Ground colour as in fore wing, abdominal area greyer, fringes as 
far as the extremity of vein la, creamy yellow. The long hair- 
scales, which cover rather more than the basal two-thirds of the 
wing, except for those in areas la and 1), bear the same metallic 
reflections as those of the fore wing, but the reflections are only 
visible on the alternate halves of each wing at the same time. 
-Under-side, fore wing: As above, but metallic scaling only 
present in the base of cell, extending a little beyond origin of 
vein 2. The translucent markings as above, but the vellow spot 
on costa and the lower one in area 1a both much larger and more 
diffuse, the costal one fused with the spot in the cell, the other 
nearly reaching the distal spot in area 1b. The ground-colour 
beyond these spots considerably paler than in the basal half of 
wing, especially towards apex. Immediately preceding apex is a 
large, roughly equilateral triangular lilacine patch, its base on the 
costa. Fringes as above. Hind wing: Dark brown as above, 
but without metallic scaling, basally greyish. Hind margin 
between the extremities of veins 2 and 8 rather broadly creamy 
yellow, like the fringes, the latter not yellowish beyond the 
extremity of vein 1b. 
The head (faintly), collar, thorax and abdomen (proximally) 
above all with metallic reflections like the basal areas of the 
wings. Palpi anteriorly grey, below white. Thorax and abdomen ~ 
laterally and ventrally grey. Legs outwardly orange, for the rest 
yellowish. Antenne black except for the ventral surface of the 
club, which is bright yellow. 
Length of fore wing: 25°5 mm. (28 mm. in paratype 92).
