Upperside. Forewing buff; 4 black costal spots, one at base, 

 one opposite vein 2, one beyond end of cell, and one before apex; 

 antemedial line dark orange and indistinct, angled outwards at 

 vein 2, where it joins a similarly coloured line connected with an 

 indistinct discocellular spot of dark orange ; postmedial dark orange 

 line from the third costal spot, curved outwards to vein 5 and then 

 oblique and terminating on inner margin in 2 black spots which vary 

 in size; a submarginal row of black dots. Hindwing jjale orange- 

 yellow to reddish ; a large black discocellular spot ; a submarginal 

 row of 6 to 9 black spots, the two at anal angle nearer the margin, 

 the spot in cellule 3 the smallest. 



Underside. Forewing buff, cell washed with red; a small dis- 

 cocellular spot which is typically a dot at upper angle ; costal spots 

 as above, the fourth forming a bar which is narrowly separated 

 from a broad black postmedian stripe continued to 16; 2 spots on 

 inner margin as above and a series of submarginal dots. Hindwing

(J. Upperside. General colour pale buff. Forewing with a spot 

 on costa near base, a small spot in cell near upper angle, two pairs 

 of spots near apex, an oblique row of 6 small spots from apex to 

 below vein 6, a dot each on veins 3-5, a pair of dots on submedian 

 at a third from base, a pair of spots, the lower the larger, at two- 

 thirds from base, a pair of dots at end of submedian. A faint 

 orange line follows the cell from its upper angle to vein 2 and runs 

 to the first pair of inner marginal spots. A better-defined orange 

 line joins the first pair of spots near apex to the second inner marginal 

 pair; it curves outwardly to vein 4, then inwardly, and bears 

 faint pairs of dots on veins 3, 4 and 6. Hindwing with a square 

 spot on upper discocellulars, a submarginal spot in 5 divided by 

 the veins, a dot in 2, a spot in Ic, a rounded anal spot.
