wing the ground-colour is paler brown without any rusty tint, 

 but darkens posteriorly. Unlike the <f the wing is transversely 

 crossed by broken catenulated bands of a darker brown than the 

 ground-colour, these bands here and there margined on the inner 

 side by very slender broken black lines and on the outer side by 

 similar white lines. Antennje, head, thorax and abdomen as in 

 the c? , but darker.

cJ. Upperside: brown; apical half of fore wing very dark. 

 Fore wing with a short, curved, discal white fascia, sometimes 

 obsolescent and very variable in length. 

 In some specimens it extends from just 

 beyond the cell to vein 3, with or 

 without an elongate white spot in con- 

 tinuation of it in interspace 2 and 

 another in interspace 1 ; in other indi- 

 viduals it is longer and reaches vein 2, 

 with or without a single elongate white

 diffuse discal patch ; cell crossed by six very slender obscure sinuate 

 white lines, that give the cell the appearance of being crossed by 

 three short brown bands ; an irregular postdiscal sinuate transverse 

 series of brown lunules of a shade slightly darker than the ground- 

 colour, those on the anterior portion of the wing are very slender 

 and thread-like, those posteriorly broad and formed into somewhat 

 annular transverse spots, the lower spots cross the discal whitish 

 area ; a subterminal series of black dots continued along the apical 

 half of the costa. Hind wing: crossed by more or less obscure, 

 catenulated, dark brown, interrupted bands that are margined on 

 the inner and outer sides by short, thread-like, darker, sinuate 

 lines ; a short, maculate, dark purple, transverse band from the 

 middle of the dorsum to vein 4 ; and a subterminal series of minute 

 black dots that is continued both subcostally and subdorsally to 

 the base of the wing. $ . Similar to the c? , but the colour and 

 markings both on the upper and under sides duller. On the 

 upperside of the fore wing the white fascia is generally but not
