Fore wing with areole small, SO 1 arising before SC 5 , M l 

 separate ; vinaceous cinnamon to vinaceous; in costal region 

 vaguely mottled with yellowish, in proximal part of cell and 

 near base posteriorly with some bright yellow mottling ; an 

 irregularly pyramidal patch beyond cell and another from 

 tornus, their apices closely approximated at M 1 , the base of 

 the former on SC 5 ; a small yellow mark at termen in front 

 of R 1 , a second in front of M 2 (adjoining thetornal pyramid) ; 

 minute red terminal dots on the yellow parts; fringe yellow, 

 with a slight vinaceous mark between R 3 and M 1 . 



Hind wing with termen slightly bent at SC 2 , almost right- 

 angled at R 3 , subcrenulate posteriorly ; SC 2 and R 1 very 

 shortly stalked, M 1 barely stalked; unicolorous, with two 

 dark vaguely connected dots on the discocellulars ; fringe 

 yellow, opposite R 3 vinaceous. 



Underside paler, with the pyramids, terminal spots, and 

 fringes whitish ; costal margin of both wings pale, at least

Fore wing with SC 1 arising before SO 6 , lake-red mostly 

 irrorated with blackish fuscous, the irroration strong proxi- 

 nially (especially anteriorly), becoming slight distally ; an 

 elongate yellow spot between the radials, well beyond the 

 cell ; a yellow dot at R 2 between this and termen ; slight 

 yellow costal irroration near apex ; a narrow yellow distal 

 border, interrupted by the ground-colour between R 3 and M 1 

 and more slightly at apex, tornus, and M 2 ; a few minute red 

 terminal dots anteriorly ; fringe yellow, mixed with lake-red

Hind icing with termen only feebly bent at R 3 ; DC slender, 

 oblique, SC 2 barely stalked, M 1 about connate ; without the

 interrupted bands of larger irregular postmedian spots, the 

 proximal consisting of one between SC 2 and R 2 (connected 

 posteriorly with the distal by a thin oblique mark) and one 

 between M 1 and tornus, the distal continuous from C to M 2 , 

 mostly narrow anteriorly, broad behind R 2 ; yellow border 

 still narrower than on fore wing.
