 external margin, with the outer border broadly paler, limited 

 internally by a pale-edged, dusky, irregular, discal band 

 diffused on its inner margin ; a dark brown submarginal lunu- 

 lated line, and a second similar marginal line : primaries with 

 the basal two thirds of the costal area whity brown, regularly 

 banded with broad dull blackish transverse patches ; a double 

 irregular streak crossing the end of the cell and separating into 

 two diverging double blackish lines below the median vein ; 

 a large 3-shaped black-edged marking beyond the cell, its 

 lower half enclosing a purplish spot streaked with blue and 

 spotted with white, so as to form an incipient ocellus : secon-

 on each side by a pale brown line : body greyish brown, with 

 the segmentations of the abdomen paler, the head and tegulse 

 clouded with testaceous. Wings below shining brown, crossed 

 in the centre by a dusky narrow band interrupted in the secon-
