 to the hind wing, like L. Penthea, Cramer. Fore-wing costa straight, 

 except just before the apex, where it is curved, the apical angle being 

 produced. Above ruddy brown, shining ; the basal half of the fore 

 wing crossed by seven black lineoles, which are not margined with 

 paler colour ; beyond the cell a patch of bluish grey enclosing a 

 transverse series of shorter black lineoles ; a submarginal row of grey 

 circles enclosing spots of the ground-colour of the wing. Hind wing 

 with the apical half white, with submarginal black spots. Basal half 

 crossed by black lineoles, and beyond the cell by a streak of blue-grey 

 in which is a flexuous row of black spots.

 and the submarginal row.
