straight Imt uneven, leaving but a small basal blackish-brown space, its outer edge 

 strongly outwardly curved ; the outer area of the wing pale blackish, containing a band 

 of blackish spots commencing at its upper end with two round spots and continued

 Ijecomiug gradually longer hind wards ; a sub-marginal series of thick lunular blackish 

 spots. Cilia of l^oth wings black. Underside like the upperside. Antenna black ;

 costa round the sub-apical dots. Hindwing with the white band a little broader, the 

 discal and sub-marginal series of blackish marks more prominent. Underside like the 

 upperside, the discal lunular series on both wings more diffuse and on the forewing 

 much broader. Abdomen with the basal and anal segments blackish-brown, the middle

Imago. — j\Iale. Upperside. Forewing much as in bhagaca, but there are usually 

 five sub-apical dots in a continuous line, the four upper ones in a curve, the fifth 

 immediately below the fourth, and in the discal series the cell spot and the spot 

 below it are usually of equal size, one above the other, and not obliquely inwards, and 

 there is seldom any indication of the indistinct pale discal lunular series. Hindwing 

 with the white band with its sides more even, three black spot-s on its upper margin, a
