 deeply concave ; middle median veinlet emitted before lower end of the cell. Hind- 

 wing triangular ; costa longer, less arched, apex obtusely pointed, exterior margin 

 very oblique, scalloped, anal angle somewhat produced ; precostal spur long, curved ;

Imago. — Male. Upperside purpurescent blackish-brown. Cilia brown. Both 

 wings with a transverse sharply-defined discal pale olivescent-yellow macular band, 

 the spots on the forewing being broadly interrupted by the black veins and decreasing 

 in size anteriorly, and with a small subapical spot beyond ; the band on the hindwing 

 is continuous, the crossing veins being also yellow ; a minute yellow dot preceded 

 by a black spot close to the subcostal within the cell of forewing ; an indistinctly- 

 defined submarginal black lunular fascia externally-bordered by very apparent 

 slishtly pale points. Underside very pale purpurescent-brown, the basal area and 

 the external border, in patches, being suffused with dusky-brown ; the transverse 

 macular band and subapical spot as above, pale olivescent-yellow ; a submarginal 

 row of small short black points ; a black ringlet-spot in middle of the cell, and a 

 lunular mark at its end, both being centred with crimson, in the forewing ; and in 

 the cell of the hindwing is a black dot and a short mark at its end ; base of costal 

 margins of both wings tinged with crimson. 



Fkmale. — Upperside paler, the transverse macular baud and apical spot broader 

 and olivescent-white, and with two slender additional streaks on the costa; the 

 submarginal dentate black fascia broader and more defined ; the cell spot and dis- 

 cocellular streak in the forewing black. Underside brighter pale purpurescent-brown 

 than in the male ; markings as in male ; the transverse band ohvescent-white. Bodij
