Habitat ? 
The upper surface of the wings (especially the hind pair) of this 
species is whitish orange, the base being strongly suffused with dark 
brown scales hiding the spots in that part ; one of these, near the 
extremity of the discoidal cell, is visible, and the cell itself is closed 
by a semicircular spot, followed at a short distance by an oblique 
abbreviated black fascia formed of conjoined spots, of which the 
hinder one is smallest and most distinct ; two other spots appear 
on the disc of the wing behind the extremity of the cell, and are 
placed nearly parallel with the apical margin, which is very narrowly 
black and slightly concave : the hind wings have a somewhat more 
suffused whitish hue than the anterior ; they are brown at the base, 
and are marked before the middle with an irregular series of black 
dots, followed by two minute ones beyond the middle ; the posterior 
margin is widely black. On the under side the fore wings have five 
black spots in the middle, followed by the abbreviated macular fascia: 
the hind wings are more tinged with rose-colour than the anterior 
ones, and are marked with about twelve black dots of different sizes ; 
the posterior margin is pale yellowish white, surmounted by a row of 
black arches, resting upon a very narrow black edging. The head 
and body are black, spotted with pale buff, the sides of the thorax 
beneath the wings with a reddish spot ; the abdomen is nearly 
white, the basal segments on the upper side black, with a pair of 
round white dots.

This very distinct species has the wings on the upper side of a buff 
colour, varying from dull orange to reddish ; the black spots are of 
small size, and the fore wings have the apex broadly and triangularly 
black, whilst the hind wings have the slender apical outer black 
margin preceded by a series of slender depressed black arches enclos- 
ing spots of the ground colour of the wing ; the ordinary black spot 
in the middle of the discoidal cell is sometimes preceded by a smaller, 
more or less slightly marked, dot, behind which is another small one ; 
the cell is partially closed by a small oblique black spot, followed 
at some distance by a row of four small spots placed obliquely, and 
there are two other small spots between the middle of the wing and 
the posterior angle, the outer one being occasionally duplicated ; in 
the hind wings the black spots, about twelve in number, are of nearly 
uniform small size. On the under side the black apex of the upper 
side is replaced by the ground colour of the rest of the wing, the spaces
