Imago. — Male. Upperside dark purplish-brown, the basal third of Ijoth wings 

 covered with brownish-yellow hairs. Forewing with the usual five semi-hyaline white 

 sub-apical dots, the first three from near the costa very close together, in a slight curve, 

 and nearly straight down, the other two as usual, but a little larger than the upper 

 three ; a discal baud composed of two moderate-sized quadrate spots, much smaller 

 than in any of the foregoing species, one inside the cell near its end, the other below it, 

 its upper inner end almost touching the lower middle of the upper spot, a small, nearly 

 round, disconnected spot below its middle, a similar spot outside the junction of the 

 two quadrate spots, all white and semi-hyaline ; an orange-ochreous small .spot beloAv the 

 base of vein 2 and another similar spot in the middle of the interspace below the discal 

 band. Cilia brown, whitish towards the hinder angle. Hindwing with three rows of 

 orange-ochreous spots, all but the outer one of the upper row hidden by the brownish- 

 ochreous hairs. Cilia orange-ochreous with large brown patches at the vein ends. 

 Underside like the upperside in colour and markings, all the orange-ochreous spots on 

 both wings larger and clearer, the discal white band on the forewing with two white 

 short streaks between the top of the upper quadrate .spot and the costa. Palpi 

 yellowish-grey, top of head black, with two ochreous-grey spots on each side, abdomen 

 with orange-ochreous segmental liauds. 



Female. Upperside coloured like the male. Forewing with three conjoined short 

 streaks representing the three sub-apical upper spots, the two lower ones also much 

 larger than in the male ; the discal semi-hyaline band is very diff"erent, the quadrate 

 spots much larger, the lower one protruding outwards, making the band outwardly 

 oblique ; in the male it is nearly erect, the upper outer small round spot is in the form 

 of a short streak, the lower round spot and the two orange-ochreous spots much larger. 

 Underside as on the upperside, all the markings clearer, the two orange-ochreous .spots 

 of the upperside of the forewing much larger and white, not ochreous. Antennae of 

 both sexes with an ochreous-white short streak below the club. 



Expanse of wings, $ % 2. inches.
