 basal area slightly brownish. A black marginal band, broad at 

 apex, running to vein 4, thence to inner margin, of equal width and 

 not extending inwards. Hind-wing brownish at base of the same 

 colour as fore-wing ; a rather narrower marginal band than is found 

 in all other species in the genus and made up of three black lines 

 interrupted in the middle by a large yellowish ochreous blotch in 

 which are three or four black spots. There are no metallic markings 

 on the upper-side. Under-side of fore-wing wdiite slightly lemon- 

 coloured at base, a black marginal band divides up at vein 4 into two 

 black parallel lines. Under-side of hind-wing whitish with three post- 

 median black lines, the inner one of which is partly duplicated. 

 Between veins 2, 3 ; 3, 4 ; 4, 5 ; 5, 6 are metallic silvery spots ; 

 surrounding these and extending to almost the margin is a_^ deep 

 ochreous patch containing four more similar spots, and above these 

 between veins 4 and 6 is a blackish mark.
