Fore wing pale dull brownish-red, with a moderate-sized black cell- 

 spot and indistinct greenish-brown lines, the first oblique, from one-third 

 costa to near middle of hind margin ; the second somewhat oblique, 

 from about four-sevenths costa to four-fifths hind margin, slightly 

 excurved behind costa and R 2 , angled on R 2 and incurved in fold ; a 

 macular dark subterminal shade, angled outward behind SC 5 and at B 3 

 angled inward before R 2 and obsolescent from M 1 to tornus ; fringe 

 blackish with a fine pale line at base ; faint traces of an oblique dark 

 shade across wing from costa near apex to near base of hind margin. 



Hind wing yellowish-white with some brownish-grey hair at and 

 before abdominal margin and slight traces of similar hair behind M ; 

 the veins and termen irrorated with pale pink ; fringe tipped with pink 

 from apex to M 1 . 



Underside of both wings whitish, the fore wing flushed with pale 

 orange-red from costa to M and R 2 , with slight reddish irroration on 

 termen behind R 2 ; the hind wing with slight pink irroration on costa 

 and on termen to M 1 .

 September, 1921, three $ $ , Another $ from the same locality in all 

 probability belongs here, but costa and termen of fore wing appear 

 slightly more curved and the fore wing is rather more orange in tone 

 with the lines a little more distinct, the second line rather more 

 strongly waved. Hind wing and underside with the red shade 

 deepened in tone and increased in area ; possibly a distinct species.
