This species is closely allied to the Sat. Simla, Westw., figured in 
the ‘ Cabinet of Oriental Entomology,’ pl. 20. fig. 1, but differs both 
in the colour and the position of the markings. The fore wings are 
yellow, much varied with grey scales, especially at the base of the 
costa and beyond the middle: at a short distance from the base a 
slender red striga runs very obliquely across the wing. In the middle 
of all the wings is a moderate-sized oval ocellus, with a small black 
dot in the middle, marked on its inner edge with a curved white line, 
the outer part being liver-coloured, edged with a black rg. Out- 
side the ocellus the wings bear a darker fulvous, ill-defined, very ob- 
lique fascia, followed by two slender very strongly undulating dark 
lines ; the undulations being much stronger towards the tip of the 
wing, where the outer one is connected with a white curved line, like 
a U, which ends on the costa in an oval black patch, and is bounded 
on its outside by a slender rich red-brown line ; parallel and near the 
apical margin is an interrupted slender black striga, followed by a 
row of submarginal fulvous oblong spots. The ocellus of the hind 
wings is preceded by a curved dark brown line, and is followed by 
three slender very much undulated lines, the two next the ocellus 
being chestnut and the outer one black ; beyond the last is a broad 
greyish fascia edged outwardly with a slender interrupted black line, 
followed by a row of fulvous oblong sublunulated spots. Beneath the 
wings are similarly marked but more uniformly coloured, being ful- 
vous buff without the grey scales. 
The antennze are about 32-jointed, each joint emitting two branches 
on each side, the branches of the:central jomts bemg moderately 
elongate and gradually diminishing in length to the tip of the an- 
tenne. The body, legs and antennz are fulvous yellow, the front 
of the thorax with a grey band.
