white streak on inner margin from the medial line to the broad 

 obli(iue yellowish-white j)ostmedial band, traversed by two fine lines 

 of brown scales, its outer part tinged and irrorated with brown and 

 its outer edge strongly excurved below costa and at middle and 

 slightly above inner margin and defined by dark brown forming 

 patches in its indentations ; cilia dark brown at tips. Hind wing 

 dark brown, the terminal area suffused with purple-grey ; a white 

 postmedial band, its outer edge emitting short streaks on the veins 

 and excised at costa ; subterminal line ochreous white, waved, 

 angled inwards below costa and above and below vein 5 ; cilia dark 

 brown. Underside of both wings greyish brown, the terminal area 

 suffused with grey, discoidal lunules defined at sides by black and 

 white, a dark medial line, on fore wing excurved at middle, a rather 

 maculate moderately broad postmedial white band, not reaching 

 costa of either wing, and with its outer edge excised at discal fold, 

 a subterminal series of white and dark brown lunules, on both
