Imago. — Male. Upjaerside. Forewing dark brownish-grey, five sub-apical, semi- 

 hyaline white spots, the upper four in an outwardly oblique curve from near the costa, 

 and very close to each other, the fifth inwardly below the fourth and a little separated 

 from it ; a central band of large semi-hyaline white spots, the upper one at the end of 

 the cell, its outer side rounded, its inner side concave, a similar-sized quadrate spot 

 below it in the first median interspace, before its middle, its inner upper end nearly 

 touching the lower inner end of the cell spot, a larger quadrate spot attached to its 

 lower side, extending half inwards, and expanding somewhat on the hinder margin, 

 with two prominent black spots, one above the other, on each side of this spot, the 

 outer pair well within the white ; a small sub-quadrate spot close to the base of the 

 second median interspace outside, but close to the junction of the two upper spots. 

 Hindwing with the base narrowly, the outer margin broadly brownish-grey, the rest of 

 the wing pure white, a continuous whorl all round the wing, from the base to the 

 abdominal fold, of black spots, one below the costa within the white space, the others 

 on the inner edges of the basal and outer marginal bands, the upper four annular, the 

 others linear, a smaller round black spot at the lower end of the cell. Cilia on both 

 wings brownish-grey. Underside similar, the black spots very prominent. An-
