 and beyond postmedial line to termen between vein 4 and tornus, 

 a whiter band beyond the cell, the inner area chocolate-red with 

 some bright red before antemedial and beyond postmedial lines and 

 some plum-colour at middle of inner mar»in ; the apical area 

 chocolate-red to vein 4 with plum-coloured patch below apex;

 double, erect, slightly waved ; a slight white streak on middle of 

 vein 1 ; orbicular and renit'orm large, with dark centres irrorated 

 with white and white annuli, the former round, the latter oblique 

 elliptical and extending to well below cell ; postmedial line obliquely 

 incurved from costa to vein 4, below vein 3 incurved, and below sub- 

 median fold filled in with plum-colour ; subterminal line formed of 

 rather diffused white striae, arising below costa and interrupted 

 between veins 6 and 5 by a dark patch ; a series of white striae 

 just before termen wiih dark stria? beyond them; cilia fuscous 

 with a fine white line through them, below 2 wholly white. Hind 

 wing orange-yellow with broad terminal black band narrowing to 

 tornus, its inner edge sinuous and excurved at middle ; cilia tipped

 extremity constricted at middle, and oblique band beyond the cell 

 from below costa, its lower extremity conjoined to a patch at tornus 

 and its inner edge angled inwards at vein 2 ; both wings with series
