CT 36--39 mm. 



Differs from typical albovittata Moore, Proc. Zool. See. 

 Lond., 1867, p. 57, pi. 6, fig. 16, Sikkim, in the size being 

 slightly smaller, the fore wing above a little less elongate and 

 more darkly marked, the hind wing above and beneath ? 

 little more broadly darkened on costal and terminal areas. 

 The medial dark band of fore wing is slightly broader than in 

 the type-form, with the proximal tooth rather longer and more 

 sharply pointed ; the costa is darkened to apex (except for 

 the usual white dots) and there is a rather narrow dai..£ 

 patch on anterior third of wdng between reniform and post- 

 medial line. The white discal spot on fore wing is much 

 smaller than in typical albovittata, the dark spot on hind wing 

 practically obsolete.
