Upper surface chocolate-brown ; primaries darker than the 
secondaries, costal margin ferrugimous; “ orbicular”’ spot 
cordiform, the apex pointing outwards, it and the reniform 
and a fusiform spot below the median vein and nearer to the 
base blackish, with slender ochreous margin, partly black- 
bordered; costal and basal areas spotted with black, the inter- 
val between each two spots grey ; an oblique short ochreous 
line across the cell near the base; two straight grey lines 
across the basal area; two parallel arched series of greyish 
partly black-edged crescents ; a submarginal series of black 
dots; fringe greyish; secondaries slightly sericeous, fringe 
pale grey, traversed by a dusky stripe; thorax tufted with
