Pale red, often with a purplish tinge, and with dark striae ; frons 

 chestnut. Fore wing with an oblique antemedial line ; a small 

 annulus at end of ceU ; an oblique postmedial line highly angled 

 below apex, where it encloses a greyish lunule, running to middle 

 of inner margin of hind wing but obsolete on costal area of hind 

 wing, which is paler ; the area between the lines of fore wing often 

 paler towards costa. Underside rufous or orange-yellow, often 

 with the outer area of fore wing rufous. 



A Khasi variety has the lines of fore wing dark at costa and a 

 large submarginal black blotch on inner area ; the form tinctaria 

 from Shillong is dark greyish purple, with the costal area of hind 

 wing reddish orange and the underside redder. The Nilgiri and 

 Ceylon forms sulphurescens and galbulata are greenish, especially 

 between the lines of fore wing, which in the latter approach each 

 other towards inner margin ; flavifusata has the medial and outer 

 areas of fore wing yellow except at outer angle.

cJ . Differs from hyadaria in the frons being grey ; the thorax 

 and wings with a slight green tinge. Fore wing without the ante-
