Exp. 1 in. 10 lin. 2 in. 1 lin. 



Dull ochreous-brown. Fore-winy : an orange mark on 

 costa at base. Hind-wing: much darker than fore-wing, 

 especially at anal angle, and clothed with (.range hairs except 

 near costa and hind-margin ; cilia orange from anal angle 

 for more than half the extent of hind-margin, fading thence 

 into greyish. UNDER-SIDE. Tinged with bronzed-green. 

 Fore-wing : on inner-margin, about middle, a dull-whitish 

 space. Hind-wing : before anal angle, between third median 

 neryule and submedian nervure, an orange-red marking, 

 divided by a transverse black streak ; below this mark, an 

 orange spot on inner margin ; orange fringe as above. 



? . Rather paler ; the orange colouring much paler. 

 UNDER-SIDE. Fore-wing : no whitish space. 



This species is very like I. JRatek, but the bright-orange spots of hind- 

 wing readily distinguish it.
