 upperside without spots. 



" The underside of the hind wings has two bands of ashy violet, — 

 one discoidal, transverse, and margined by two lines a little darker 

 than the ground-colour ; the other quite terminal, dentated on its 

 inner edge, and separated from the preceding one by a transverse 

 row of six yellow spots : the underside of the front wings has the 

 hind margin cinereous, and preceded by four spots of the colour of 

 those in the hind wings, but smaller." — Enc. Meth.
