Upper side : male, dark rufous brown. Anterior wing with a ru- 

 fous spot near the apex. Posterior wing with the outer margin, from 

 its middle to the anal angle, broadly rufous, marked by three dark- 

 brown conical spots and an undulating dark-brown band. 



Under side rufous brown ; both wings crossed by several pale un- 

 dulating lines. Anterior wing with three lines across the cell — one 

 on each side of the disco-cellular nervules, followed by a band of 

 spots, all rufous brown. Posterior wing with some indistinct spots 

 near the base, followed by two broken bands of rufous brown ; crossed 

 beyond the middle by a band of five dark-brown spots, followed by 

 a deeply indented band of rufous orange. 



Female, dark rufous brown ; the outer margin of the anterior wing 

 more emarginate than in the male. Anterior wing crossed beyond 

 the middle by two undulating rufous bands, and a submarginal band 

 of spots of the same colour ; the first of these bands commences near 

 the costal margin with two sagittate spots. Posterior wing with the 

 outer margin broadly rufous, clouded near the apex, traversed by six 

 lunular spots and an undulating band of dark brown. On the under 

 side it does not differ from the male, except in having a small white 

 spot on the costal margin near the apex, and the outer margin of 

 both wings much paler.
