^ . Antennge, head, thorax, and abdomen black on the 

 upperside, grey on the underside. The ground-colour of the 

 upperside of both wings is a warm red, restricted upon the 

 primaries to a curved median band widening from about the 

 middle of the costa to the outer angle and the middle of the 

 inner margin, and presenting the outline of a "horn of plenty." 

 The remainder of the primary is dark brown. The posterior 

 wing is irregularly margined outwardly and profusely 

 speckled upon the inner margin with dark brown. Upon the 

 underside of the primaries the red curved fascia reappears, 

 but the colour is less brilliant than u})on the upperside. The 

 costa and the apex of the primaries are broadly lilac-grey 

 minutely spotted with brown ; the base and a transverse 

 subapical band are fuliginous. The posterior wings are of 

 the same lilac- grey colour as the apical portion of the pri- 

 maries, and are mottled with small brown spots and traversed 

 beyond the cell by an irregularly curved narrow black line, 

 and I'urther ornamented Uj)0n the margin by subhastate brown 

 spots disposed upon the intraneural spaces.
