a few scattered metallic-grey scales ; basal patch dark slaty-grey 

 mixed with blackish, becoming reddish-ochreous towards inner 

 margin, its outer edge defined by -a thick curved blackish line 

 from costa before one-third, becoming obsolete below fold ; costa 

 shortly and obliquely strigulated with blackish throughout ; a 

 small blackish subquadrate oblique spot on middle of costa, 

 between which and basal patch the costa is broadly suffused with 

 dark slaty-grey, except on extreme edge ; a triangular blackish 

 space at apex, extending along apical third of costa and upper 

 half of hindmargin, shading into ground-colour towards disc, 

 intersected by two or three oblique irregular partially confluent 

 leaden-metallic lines from costa to hindmargin about middle, and 

 c ontaining short oblique pale ochreous costal strigulee, of which 

 the last is more conspicuous and produced to hindmargin beneath 

 apex ; inner margin obscurely strigulated with dark grey ; an 

 irregular suffused fuscous spot on inner margin towards anal 

 angle, extending nearly to middle of disc : cilia dark slaty-grey, 

 with a blackish basal line, towards anal angle reddish-ochreous. 

 Hindwings dark fuscous-grey ; cilia grey, tips more whitish-grey. 



A very distinct and elegantly-marked species, differing consider-
