 tilled in with yellow, aiising below vein 6 and at submedian fold 

 bent outwards to inner margin towards tornus, some blackish brown

 fold to inner margin to wdiich it is bent outwards with black spots 

 on its inner side at veins 5 to 2 and a blackish bar on inner area ; 

 some white on apical part of termen with an indistinct waved 

 brown line before termen from it to inner margin followed hv a 

 fine waved yellow terminal line with black-brown suffusion before it.

 patches on apical area and on termen above tornus ; a vellow 

 discoidal annulus filled in with black with a blue-white point in 

 centre, a white postmedial band interi-u^jted by slight dai'k streaks 

 on the veins, oblique to diseal fold, then slightly incurved, a series 

 of blackish striie before termen double and filled in with .some white 

 on the dark area ; hind wing with the basal and inner areas vellow, 

 the rest of the wing fuscous with white patches at apex and on 

 termen towards tornus, a round black discoidal .spot witli white
