Imago. — Male. Upperside dark purpurescent sepia-brown ; cilia white. Fore- 

 wing crossed by a very obscurely-defined slightly paler brown discal fascia widening 

 from the costa, its inner edge being sinuously defined and angulated outward at the 

 upper median. Both wings with black-lined basal marks, and a prominent pale 

 ashy-grey outer marginal band, which extends narrowly from the apex of forewing 

 and widening across the hindwing to above the anal angle. Underside pale brownish- 

 ochreous, palest on the hindwing ; the outer borders washed with lilacine-grey. 

 Both wings with slender black-lined basal marks, and crossed by a dusky brown 

 slender sinuous discal band, and a submarginal luuular band, both of which are 

 jaalest, less defined, and somewhat dififused, on the hindwing. 



Female. Upperside paler than in male, and of an umber-brown colour ; basal 

 marks, discal pale fascia, and marginal band, as in the male, except that the latter 

 is brownish-grey, and in the Indian and Burmese specimens is slightly brownish- 

 tinged along the outer margin, and the pale discal fascia more apparent. Underside as 

 in the male, except that the ochreous colour is brighter, especially between the bands 

 on the forewing, and the ti^anverse bands on both wings are more diffused. Body,
