 Secondaries have subbasal and median ochreous-brown bands ; 

 outer marginal area as on primaries. All the wings have a 

 black discal dot. Fringes rather paler than the markings, 

 preceded by wavy whitish line. Under surface whitish : 

 primaries freckled and suffused with fuscous on basal and 

 outer marginal areas ; there is a dusky, wavy, transverse line 

 beyond the middle, which is continued on the secondaries.

Five male specimens and one female from Wa-shan, three 

 males from Chia-ting-fu and one from Ta-chien-lu : June

In some examples the basal area of primaries is limited by 

 a darker line and in others the wing is not suffused within 

 this line.

 have a subbasal and two median wavy dusky lines, the space

 serrated darker line, and traversed by a wavy pale band ; 

 there is a central transverse fuscous-grey shade, enclosing the 

 pale-ringed black discal dot : secondaries have an obscure 

 transverse subbasal band, a dark wavy central line, and an
