Wings above pale sulphur-yellow, semitransparent, the costal border and fringes rather 

 darker : primaries with a basi-internal triangular coffee-brown patch bordered with plum- 

 baginous and black ; disk almost wholly occupied by a broad coffee-brown belt, which, 

 however, is abruptly narrowed to about one third of the width below the second median 

 branch ; the belt is traversed by an irregularly zigzag ferruginous line and bordered by a 

 black-edged silvery line : secondaries with a basi-abdominal belt edged externally with 

 plumbaginous and black, and a broad irregularly angulated belt, occupying nearly the whole 

 of the disk, coffee-brown ; the discal belt also bounded on both sides by a black-edged silver 

 line, and traversed by a zigzag ferruginous line ; external margin strongly angulated, with a 

 large black spot extending into the fringe at the angle, so as to give it an almost caudate 

 appearance ; the outer half of the same fringe ochraceous : body brown ; back of head and 

 collar pale yellow; antennre cream-coloured. Under surface creamy whitish, with yellow 

 borders to the wings; discal belt formed nearly as above, but greyish brown with faint
