^ Fuscous, suffused ivith ferruginous in basal area ; a common discal 

 deep-fulvous hand and Jiind-marginal lunidate border, the latter in fore- 

 wing broken regularly into seven spots, but in hind-ioing continuous. Fore- 

 wing : ferruginous extends in costal area to beyond extremity of discoidal 

 cell (where it tinges two short transverse fulvous fascige that converge and 

 join the fulvous discal banl above third median nervule), and in inner- 

 marginal area as far as inner edge of discal band ; this band, beginning 

 narrowly close to costa near apex, widens as far as inner margin ; 

 lowest hind-marginal spot lai-ge, double ; near end of discoidal cell an 

 elongate black spot, before which is an indistinct very small blackish 

 spot. Hind-wing : inner-marginal area suffused with greyish-brown, 

 and edged narrowly with ochreous-yellow discal band narrowing down- 

 ward, ferruginous on its outer edge and over its lower portion, be- 

 coming obsolete about first median nervule ; lunulate hind-marginal 

 border narrowly black-edged outwardly, its anal-angular extremity 

 tinged with greenish ; a little before border, between third median 

 nervule and submedian nervure, three small blue spots, the lowest 

 geminate, — the first and second sometimes obsolete ; tails acuminate, 

 narrow, rather short, — that on third median nervule straight, — that on
