Imago. — Male. Upperside. Forewimj dark purplish-brown, the base ferruginous- 

 brown ; crossed by a very prominent oblique medial pale yellow band, which is inter- 

 sected by the dark veins, the band extending from the costa beyond the cell to the 

 lower median veinlet, and is continued below it by a small coalescent speckled spot of 

 the same colour ; a lilacine-white spot before the apex, and a less-defined speckled 

 spot obliquely below it. Hindmng with the basal area dark ferruginous-brown, the 

 discal area broadly to the middle of the outer margin being purplish -black ; the base 

 of the costa pale ochreous-yellow ; the apical border narrowly and the posterior 

 border very broadly to above the anal angle deep orange-yellow ; a large black sub- 

 costal glandular patch and overlapping out-spreading fine long hairs, these hairs also 

 extending over the cell to near the abdominal margin above the anal angle, pale 

 brown ; a narrow pale yellow glandular pouch bordering the middle of the internal 

 vein and enclosing a small tuft of short broion hairs. Underside. Forewing with the 

 oblique discal band pale ochreous-yellow and extending entire from the costa to above 

 the posterior angle ; the basal area densely woolly and ochreous-grey ; the inner 

 border of the oblique band and the apical area dark chestnut-red, the latter crossed 

 by a darker line extending from before the apex and with a small white inner costal 

 spot, the area between this line and the yellow band being marked with blackish 

 strigfB, and the posterior angle also marked with similar strigjB ; the grey basal cell 

 area crossed by a blackish recurved streak, a chestnut-red cordate spot, another 

 above it on the costa and a smaller spot at base of the cell. Hindwing with the basal 

 area from the costa to near the anal angle ochreous-grey, densely woolly and traversed 

 by an irregular chestnut-red streak extending from the costa across the cell, and with 

 an inner and an outer red spot also within the cell ; the disc crossed by a broad, 

 strongly-defined chestnut-red band which decreases in width from the costa to anal 

 angle, the outer edge of the band being blackish and irregularly angulated inward 

 between the upper subcostal and the middle of the cell, and incurved between the lower 

 median veinlets, in both these angulated parts it is white-bordered externally ; the 

 outer area from the irregular-edged band dark orange-yellow, traversed by an upper
