black line highly angled on vein 7, then oblique to inner margin, 

 and with some dark suffusion beyond it, especially below apex. 

 Hind wing with w r aved black line from near apex to inner margin 

 before anal angle, some dark suffusion beyond it ; both wings with 

 waved marginal black line. Underside whitish, with a more or less 

 developed broad dark submarginal band. 



The base of the fore wing may be suffused with fuscous or grey 

 and with grey beyond the postmedial line, and a large white patch 

 on outer margin of hind wing near anal angle.

Differs from subplagiata in being more stoutly built ; the fore 

 wing less produced. Males with the underside of hind wing 

 clothed with long rough hair and scales on the inner area, especially 

 below the middle of cell. 



The range of variation is similar. In the form nigrifasciata 

 from the Nilgiris the black lines are stronger, and on the fore 

 wing the ante- and postmedial lines approach each other at lower 

 angle of cell; underside without the dark band beyond the post- 

 medial line.

c? . Antennae bipectinated almost to apex, tibias not dilated and 

 without/ fold. Colour rufous, suffused with fuscous. Differs from 

 subplagiata in the antemedial line of fore wing being less angled 

 on subcostal and median nervures, then less oblique, the post- 

 medial less angled at vein 7. Hind wing with the postmedial line 

 excurvedfrom costa to vein 4. Underside uniform in colour.

c? . Differs from subplayiata in being larger, paler, and redder. 

 Fore wing with the antemedial line double, much more highly 

 angled below costa and beyond lower angle of cell, then very 

 oblique ; the postmedial line indistinct, with other indistinct waved 

 lines beyond it. Hind wing with the oblique postmedial line and 

 black line beyond it more distinct ; the latter with fine rufous lines 

 beyond it : the margin produced to points at veins 4 and 7.
