 brown ; bands and markings of that colour ; fore-wings with a thin 

 band before the middle curving inwards close to and on to the costa ; 

 both wings with a similar medial liand, running through the brown 

 lunule at the end of the cell of the fore-wings and inside the cell 

 spot of hind-wings ; a broad paler band across the disc of both wings, 

 broken towards costa of fore-wings, where there is a blunt angular 

 patch before the apex ; this patch is lined with dark brown, as is also 

 the inner side of the band ; the remainder of both wings is more or 

 less shaded with brown, and through this shading on the hind-wings 

 runs a whitish band, and there are present on both wings some small 

 brown patches ; outer margin with brown lunules ; under-side whitish
