blackish dots, scaled and ringed with silvery and whitish. 

 Cilia white. \]^d^^^yd^.— Silvery -white, ivith broad, 

 . dull ochreous-brown, centrally silver-streaked, black-edged 

 bars and spots. Forewing : a quadi'ate spot at base, 

 leaving costal edge and median nervure very narrowly 

 silvery-white ; before middle, a short bar from costa to 

 sub-median nervure ; from about middle of costa a long 

 oblique bar extending towards anal angle, but becoming 

 obsolete just above sub-median nervure ; a round spot on 

 costa beyond middle ; from costa, near apex, a much- 

 curved bar extending to between 3rd and 2nd median 

 nervules, where it abruptly and bluntly ends ; a hind-mar- 

 ginal border of the same colour as the bars, commencing 

 at apex and becoming obsolete about sub-median nervm*e, 

 interiorly black-edged and rather sharply dentated, mesially 

 traversed by an interrupted black line, edged with whitish 

 on both sides. Hindwing : a basal and inner-marginal, 

 sub-macular bar, externally presenting five blunt projec- 

 tions, extending to about middle ; an irregular, oblique 

 central bar (continuous of first bar of forewing) extending 

 to a little before anal angle, where it is angulated back- 

 ward to inner margin by an elongate usually separate 

 portion ; a large costal spot just before apex, in contact or 

 confluent wdth a very strongly angulated bar, which, com- 

 mencing just below apex, touches or is confluent with the 

 central bar just beyond extremity of discoidal cell, and 

 between 3rd and 2nd median nervules becomes confluent 

 with a hind-marginal border similar to that of forewing ; 

 the traversing white-edged line of the hind-marginal 

 border is more continuous than in forewing ; black dots 

 on anal-angular lobe more conspicuous than on the upper- 

 side. 



2. Without -purple gloss, only presenting a slight 

 violaceous suffusion from bases; yellow-ochreous mark- 

 ings strongly developed in both wings. Forewing: the 

 yellow-ochreous markings much enlarged and prolonged 

 inferiorly, so that the first and second are widely confluent 

 below 1st median nervule, and the second and third nar- 

 rowly so between 3rd and 2nd median nervules ; a faint 

 yellow mark in cell, near base. Hindiving : the position 

 of the silvery-white parts of the underside is rouglily 

 indicated by suffused markings of yellow-ochreous, viz., 

 one in cell near base, one on costa near apex, one on hind- 

 margin below apex, and one (largest) on median nervules, 

 a whitish line close and parallel to hind margin scaled
