 body, and legs brown- black ; tongue bright yellow. Wings 

 proximally white, semitransparent, distally glossy brown- 

 black. Fore wing with costa to SC of same colour, and 

 with the distal border commencing at scarcely beyond two- 

 fifths (well before end of cell), its proximal edge usually with 

 a slight projection inwards on M, but running nearly straight 

 in the direction of tornus to submedian fold, thence sharply 

 bent back to inner margin at two-thirds ; a few dark scales in 

 basal part of cell ; an oblique oval subapical white spot from 

 before R 1 to heyond R 2 , somewhat variable in size and shape. 

 Hind wing with costa very narrowly blackish; the dark 

 distal border from before two-thirds costa to about one-half 

 inner margin, continuing extremely narrowly along inner 

 margin to base ; its proximal edge vertical to SC 2 , then

 white inner-marginal blotch reaching, on the margin, from 

 the fovea to about two-thirds, its upper (anterior) margin
