basal area of secondaries and between the transverse lines of 

 primaries. There are two transverse lines on primaries : the 

 first is blackish, elbowed below costa, and slightly indented 

 above inner margin ; the second is rather oblique, double, 

 except at each extremity, enclosing a paler area ; beyond the 

 second line there is a blackish quadrate blotch, the centre of 

 which is filled in with pinkish ; discal spot black. Second- 

 aries have a black discal spot and an olivaceous crenulate 

 band ; submarginal band serrated, blackish, but not well- 

 defined towards costa. Fringes fuscous, tinged with oliva- 

 ceous. Under surface violet-grey, clouded and suffused with 

 fuscous ; primaries have a dusky band, elbowed below costa, 

 before the middle, and a ferruginous-brown band bordered 

 with darker beyond the middle; the space between these 

 bands is marked with creamy white; submarginal line 

 whitish ; a broad and diffuse ferruginous patch extends from 

 black discal spot to submarginal line, which it obscures at 

 this point ; secondaries have the basal area marked with 

 creamy white : the transverse band appears to be a con- 

 tinuation of the outer one on primaries ; submarginal band 

 as above but dusky in colour. Outer margin of the wings, 

 especially of secondaries, crenulate.
