running along its middle and bent obliquely upwards at two- 

 thirds from the base, where it is bounded on each side by a 

 narrow margin of the pale ground-colour of the wing, running 

 to a point at the lower angle of the cell, the upper edge of 

 this dorsal band is somewhat waved, a slight bulge occurring 

 before the middle of the wing, its upper edge carrying a 

 reduplication of the blackish brown central line; about the 

 tornus the dorsal band is continued after a slight interruption, 

 and here also it contains some blackish brown lines; an 

 elongate olive-brown shade lies below the outer half of the 

 discal cell, with some lines of the pale ground-colour running 

 through it ; above the tornus is a small shining whitish 

 ocelloid spot, tinged with rosy pink scales immediately above 

 the angle ; cilia beautifully mottled with olive-brown, silvery 

 whitish, greyish fuscous, and rosy pink, the greyish fuscous 

 being at their tips on the middle of the termen, also at the 

 extreme apex and at the tornus, the rosy pink coming above 

 and below the middle and also on the outer half of the cilia ; 

 the reddish brown is situated on the basal half of the cilia 

 on the upper half of the margin, and the silvery whitish is 

 immediately below it in a small spot also on the basal half 

 of the cilia. Exp. al. 20 mm. Hind wings dark brown, on 

 the upper surface of vein 2 is a distinct fringe of brownish 

 grey hairs ; cilia shining whitish, with a dark line running 

 through them near their base. Abdomen brownish grey. 

 Legs greyish white, clouded with greyish fuscous.

This description is taken from a male in beautiful condition, 

 which exhibits some differences from others in the series. I 

 find that in one variety (40124) the longitudinal streaks are 

 more distinctly carried through the wing and there is more 

 olive-brown alternating with longitudinal lines of fuscous, 

 the rich rosy tint being chiefly confined to the space below 

 the costa, especially in a long streak beneath the outer half; 

 the black scales at the end of the cell are almost obsolete, and 

 the cilia, although they exhibit somewhat the same pattern, 

 are not so rich in colouring. It is evidently a variable 

 species.
