extending on costa from base to near middle and down to vein 1, 

 the whole of the terminal area except small patches on termen 

 above and below middle suffused with golden copper, its inner edge 

 defined by the postmedial line and oblique to vein 6, then obliquely 

 incurved to lower angle of cell and middle of inner margin ; sub- 

 basal line oblique and white, from costa to median nervure, the 

 area beyond it rather greyer to the antemedial line, which is oblique 

 and white from costa to the orbicular, then defining its outer edge 

 and slightly angled outvpards on median nervure, then bent sharply 

 inwards and sinuous and indistinct to inner margin ; the orbicular 

 with greyish centre defined by brown, indistinct, slightly angled 

 inwards on median nervure ; medial line brown, defined on outer 

 side by white to vein 1, sinuous to middle of cell, then inwardly 

 obliqiie to vein 1 and double and erect to inner margin ; the 

 area between it and the golden postmedial area pale purplish grey 

 irrorated with brown ; reniform defined by broM'n and white at 

 sides, oblique, slightly angled inwards on median nervure ; post- 

 medial line oblique and white to vein 6, then brown, excurved at 

 discal fold, then incurved at vein 3, excurved to just above vein 1, 

 then retracted to lower angle of cell, double, slightly sinuous and 

 filled in by whitish to inner margin ; subterminal line white, 

 incurved to above vein 6 on which it is angled inwards, with whitj 

 streak on vein 5, then very faintly double, brown, waved, with black 

 points beyond it above and below vein 4, and defined on outer side 

 by whitish from vein 2 to tornus ; a curved white mark before 

 termen from vein 7 to above vein 5, and a series of blackish points 

 just before termen from above vein 6 to below vein 3 ; a fine white 

 line at base of cilia. Hind wing dark brown with a cupreous gloss; 

 cilia with a fine whitish line at base except towards apex, and 

 whitish patch at discal fold ; the underside whitish suffused and 

 thickly irrorated with brown, a curved postmedial line from costa 

 to submedian fold defined on outer side by white, slight white 

 lunules before termen between veins 6 and 3.

$ . Head and thorax brown mixed with grey ; tarsi slightly 

 ringed with whitish ; abdomen grey-brown. Fore wing pale 

 piirplish grey suffused and irrorated with brown ; a golden cupreous 

 spot on costa near base with an oblique fascia from below it to 

 vein 1 where it is met by a golden cupreous band before the 

 medial line ; antemedial line whitish, oblique to the orbicular, 

 which is elliptical and defined by whitish, then bent inwards to 

 submedian fold, and again excurved; antemedial line whitish, 

 sinuous to middle of cell, then inwardly oblique to vein 1 at the 

 antemedial line, then excurved ; reniform defined by brown and
