medial spot at inner margin ; a medial white band leaving the 

 costal yellow ; a semicircular deep chocolate-brown postmedial 

 patch from below costa to vein 3 dehned on outer side and below by 

 a curved silvery-white band and shading to red-brown at costa 

 before the white band ; a terminal yellow band defined on inner 

 side by a black line to submedian fold, the yellow band bent 

 inwards on inner area to near the basal black-brown area ; a 

 terminal series of black points and small spot below apex ; cilia 

 silvery white, tinged with brown at apex. Hind wing silvery 

 white, the terminal area broadly bright yellow, extending on inner 

 area to near base ; the white area defined by a curved black line 

 between discal and submedian folds ; subterminal black strise above 

 and below vein 2, then a curved silvery-white line to above tornus ; 

 a curved silvery- white line from costa before apex to termen at 

 discal fold ; minute silvery-white ocellate spots defined by black 

 and with black points on their outer edge above and below vein 4 

 before termen ; a minute black spot below vein 3 and striga below 

 vein 2 ; cilia silvery white tinged with red-brown at base. 



$ . Fore wing with the basal half chocolate-brown, its upper 

 edge indented by an elongate white mark in the cell and with 

 white streak below it on inner margin, the whole costal area above

 where it is somewhat bifid, defined hy fine black lines except at 

 costa ; a terminal series of black points and striga in submedian 

 interspace ; cilia silvery white. Hind wing silvery white, the inner 

 and terminal areas broadly golden yellow, the white area defined 

 by an oblique sinuous black postmedial line from vein 6 to sub- 

 median fold ; an obliquely curved silvery-white line from costa 

 before apex to termen at discal fold ; four minute ocellate silvery-
