250 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



by the ground-colour. The outer edge of the patch runs from 

 near the hind angle in la to the middle of nervule 3, and is 

 slightly convex between the nervules. The apical and hind- 

 marginal border shows distinct traces of the striated pattern of 

 the underside. 



H.-w. Base occupied by a brownish grey triangular patch, 

 its outer edge reaching nearly to end of cell. On this patch 

 are black spots corresponding to those on underside. Central 

 area of wing with a curved pale band varying in colour from 

 ochreous to orange. This band is continuous at the costa with 

 the f.-w. inner marginal patch and of about the same width, 

 and terminates on the inner margin where it is rather narrower. 

 Beyond this central band is a broad hind-marginal border the 

 inner edge of which is a perfectly regular curs'e and not 

 angulated as in some of the rather similar species. This 

 marginal border is sepia grey with elongated inwardly tapering 

 brown internervular streaks each of which is bifurcated at the 

 margin by a sepia grey triangular mark. 



Underside. F.-w. from base to apical patch, along costa, 

 middle of cell, and middle of area lb, the dark colour corre- 

 sponding to that of the upperside is invaded by an irregular 

 radiating suffusion of dull ochreous, usually leaving a dark 

 spot just beyond middle of cell, and sometimes a second smaller 

 spot in lb close to median. The light patches are as on upper- 

 aide but paler, often with a tendency to coalesce in area 3. The 

 apical and hind-marginal border is ochreous, striated by the 

 black nervule ends and black internervular bifurcated rays, the 

 latter meeting inwardly except in 3, 2, lb, and la, where they 

 coalesce with a blackish submarginal suffusion. A fine black 

 line round hind margin. 



H.-w. Base, over an area corresponding to the dark area of 

 the upperside, pale greenish ochreous, spotted with black as 

 follows:— One in 9, and one in 8, two in 7 about 3-4 mm. 

 apart, one at base of 6, one at base of 5 coalescing with a double 

 discocellular spot and a terminal spot in cell. Two in cell, 

 one at base of 2, a basal spot in Ic, followed by two spots 

 which are sometimes confluent and sometimes separated, in the 

 latter case enclosing a faintly reddish mark. Beneath these, two 

 in lb and in la. Central band as above but paler. Marginal 

 border of the colour of the central band, heavily striated by 

 black nervule ends between which are internervular inwardly 

 tapering rays, each of which is bifurcated at margin by a 

 whitish triangular mark. A fine black line round hind 

 margin.
