Tailed. Black, with pale sulphur-yellow bands and spots ; 

 the ground thinly irrorated with pale-yellowish scales : 

 common to both wings a transverse macular band, com- 

 mencing broadly on costa of fore -wing near apex, narrowing 

 and with its spots more separate as it approaches inner- 

 margin beyond middle, and thence crossing hind-wing in a 

 continuous stripe, straight on its inner, dentate on its outer 

 edge, rather before middle, from costa to inner-margin, a 

 sub-marginal row of large sub-lunulate spots (eight in fore- 

 wing, seven in hind-wing), and a hind-marginal row of 

 seven lunules (larger in hind-wing) marking excavations 

 between nervules. Fore-wing : in cell, near extremity, an 

 oblique elongate marking, formed of two confluent spots, 

 and also four thin longitudinal streaks of scales from base 

 (the lower three branching from a common origin) nearly to 

 extremity ; in $ on disc, especially about median nervules 

 and submedian nervure, a clothing of short, cotton-like hair. 

 Hind-iving : two ocellate spots placed quite as in Demoleus
