orange patch, which is continued for some little distance along the 

 abdominal margin. Female. Upperside, both wings shining dark 

 hair-brown. Forewing with the apical area bounded anteriorly by the 

 costa, posteriorly by the first median nervule, inwardly by the disco- 

 cellular nervules, darker than the rest of the wing ; two triangular 

 discal orange spots placed obliquely, the one nearest the base of the 

 wing in the lower discoidal interspace, its base placed against the 

 disco-cellular nervules, its apex directed to the outer margin of the 

 wing, the other is placed in the middle of the second median in- 

 terspace. Hindwing unmarked. Cilia of both wings cinereous. 

 Underside, forewing pale brown, the inner margin whitish; the disco- 

 cellular nervules faintly defined on both sides by a dark line ; the 

 orange spots of the upperside faintly visible, with an additional small 

 and indistinct one placed against the middle of the first median nervule 

 in the first median interspace ; three prominent discal bands, all 

 commencing on the costa, the first and second ending at the first 

 median nervule, the third extending a little below it, all of them 

 nearly straight, slightly outwardly bowed only, and of nearly equal 

 width ; the band nearest the base of the wing is dark brown, its 

 outer edge sharply defined, its inner edge lost in the ground-colour ; 

 the second band is white just tinted with violet ; the third band is 

 dark brown. Hindwing pale violet-brown ; the disco-cellular ner- 

 vules defined by a narrow whitish and a narrow brown line ; a 

 broad discal white band, posteriorly more or less marked with violet, 

 its inner edge quite straight, its outer edge outwardly bowed, the band 

 commences at the costa, where it is broad, it is still broader in the 

 middle, it becomes quite narrow posteriorly, and at the submedian 

 nervure is recurved to the abdominal margin ; a highly lunulated sub- 

 marginal pale violet line ; a narrow white anteciliary thread ; an oval 

 black spot in the first median interspace outwardly surrounded by an 

 orange ring, placed between the discal and submarginal bands ; a 

 small black spot on the anal lobe inwardly broadly crowned with 

 orange, with an orange line anterior to this on the abdominal margin. 

 Cilia cinereous throughout. Thorax and body above dark brown ; 

 abdomen beneath and legs whitish. Antennae, black, the club beneath, 

 the tip of the club throughout, ferruginous.
