brown ; head, thorax and abdomen rusty brown ; beneath : 

 the palpi, thorax and abdomen narrowly whitish. $ . Upperside : 

 white. Fore wing : apical, terminal and tornal areas black, the 

 inner margin of the black commences just before the middle of 

 the costa, and runs obliquely outward in a sinuous curve to base 

 of the apical fourth of vein 2, thence it is produced for a short 

 distance inwardly along that vein and terminates at the middle 

 of the dorsal margin. Hind wing : a broad black stripe along 

 the costal margin ; the termen somewhat narrowly pale yellowish- 

 brown. Underside : white, the markings somewhat variable. 

 Fore wing : costa, apex and termen with minute earthy-brown 

 speckles, sparse along the costa, more dense on the termen ; on 

 the latter they coalesce "and form a brown smudgy border that is 

 bounded on the inner side by a curved, postdiscal, more or less 

 clearly defined, narrow, yellowish-brown band ; cell crossed trans- 

 versely by a basal, a medial and an apical short similar band; 

 the medial band darkened in colour and continued almost to the 

 dorsum, the apical band along the discocellulars. Hind wing : 

 with minute brown speckles, more or less lightly and irregularly 

 stained with rusty brown ; basal half with obscure, transverse, 

 narrow, macular, earthy-brown bands that are well-defined only 

 anteriorly, the basal one produced up to the dorsum ; a short 

 dark-edged transverse band from the tornus to vein 4 running 

 parallel to the costal margin, the lower edge of the band acutely 

 and irregularly dentate ; the terminal and tornal areas below this 

 band washed with earthy brown. Antenna?, head, thorax and 

 abdomen as in the rf but very much paler.

c? . Upperside : dark brown. Fore wing : a broad, medial, pale 

 curved patch. Hind wing : immaculate. Underside : paler, duller 

 brown ; markings on both fore and hind wings a darker brown, 

 nearly all very slenderly encircled or edged with dull white. 

 Fore wing : anterior half very closely, the lower disc more 

 sparsely sprinkled with dark brown spots and specks that vary 

 very much in size ; cell with a basal, a medial and an apical short 

 transverse dark brown band ; a postdiscal similar but more irregular 

 band made up of detached spots ; the dorsal margin broadly paler 

 and nearly free of the dark brown specks and spots; finally 

 a terminal obscure series of dnrk brown lunules. Hind wing*: 

 minute dark brown specks and spots similar to those on the fore 

 wing, three basal detached spots in transverse row ; a medial 

 macular dark brown band that crosses the cell and is continued 

 to the dorsum ; a large dark brown spot at apex of cell with a 

 similar spot above that touches the costa, and another below it at 

 base of interspace 3 ; a broad, curved, macular, discal dark brown
