Imago. — Male. Upperside dark blackish-brown, nearly black ; spots white, semi- 

 hyaline. Foreidng with a spot at the lower end of the cell, a much larger quadrate 

 .spot immediately below it in the first median interspace, three small sub-apical spots, 

 divided by the veins, the lowest the largest and another well separated from them, 

 near the outer margin below the apex ; a small opaque white spot before the middle of 

 the interno-median interspace. Hindwing with a large spot outside the end of the 

 cell, a smaller one close to the base of the first median interspace. Cilia of both wings 

 browu marked with ochreous-white. Underside. Foreicing with the costal space 

 narrowly and evenly, the apex broadly, the outer margin deci-easingly dull, ochreous-

 is somewhat suffused with blackish, the white spots heavily marked, especially on 

 their lower side, and there is a narrow blackish outer marginal baud. 



Expanse of wings, $ % ly^g to l-^ inches.

Imago. — Male. Upperside, both wings dark purplish -brown. Cilia alternately 

 black and white. Forewing with a large somewhat square spot at the end of the cell, a

 square one at the middle of the second median interspace, three small conjoined round 

 sub-apical dots, of which the upper oue is the largest, the middle one the smallest, all
