Imago. — Male. Upperside. Foreicing dark blackish-brown, three sul)-apical, 

 semi-hyaline white dots from near the costa, the middle one shifted inwards ; a discal 

 series of four semi-hyaline white spots, a small round one at the lower end of the cell, a 

 larger sub-quadrate spot outside, near the base of the second median interspace, a 

 much larger quadrate spot in the first median interspace below the cell spot, a .small 

 one a little inward near the middle of the hinder margin and connected with the margin 

 in a diflfused whitish mark ; in some examples there is also a white dot between this 

 spot and the large square spot ; indications of a discal series of faintly whitish lunules.
