This, though a female, has all the characters of a male. It is closely allied to /. Cleobis, 

 but differs in colour from both sexes of that species. It resembles the male of /. Cleobis in 

 the position of the band of the underside, less circular than that of the female. Its wings are 

 not so broad as are those of the female, and it is without the black spots near the anal angle 

 of the posterior wing.

Underside grey, paler towards the outer margins. Both wings crossed beyond the 

 middle by a linear band of brown (apart where the wings meet) and by an indistinct submar- 

 ginal band of rufous brown : the outer margin rufous. Posterior wing with the two black spots 

 near the anal angle crowned with orange.

 the wings meet. 



Males ivithout a tuft of hair where the wings meet.
