Fore wing with a patch of deep chrome hairy scales from near costa 

 to a little beyond lower median, except at middle third, which remains 

 of ground-colour ; a broad whitish slightly oblique patch from antemedial 

 to a little beyond discocellular from upper median to inner margin, 

 and extended to vein 12 as far as well beyond middle, patch broadest 

 near costa and slightly irregular on inner and outer sides; a little 

 white scaling beyond the patch towards costa ; veins 16 to 8 and sub- 

 median fold streaked with white scales from white patch to outer- 

 margin, this scaling becomes less heavy on submedian fold and 16 ; 

 cilia fuscous (xlvi). 



Hind wing without markings ; cilia fuscous at base and for two- 

 thirds white. 



Underside : In fore wing a white patch as above, but less densely 

 scaled and narrower, beginning just before discocellulars, where the 

 edge is diffused and extended for the same distance beyond these veins, 

 outer edge well denned, straight, outwardly oblique to submedian fold 

 and then sharply curved inwardly to inner margin, some white scaling 

 on veins at apex and tornus. Hind wing with some white scaling on 

 portion of veins 5-8, for longest distance and most heavily towards 

 the apex ; cilia as above. ? like $ in markings, but branches of 

 antennae shorter, specimens slightly larger. 



In both sexes veins 4 and 5 of fore wing are shortly stalked, of 

 hind wing approximated.
