 larger spots placed obliquely in the middle of the disc, divided by the second median 

 nervule. Cilia of both w-iugs dull ochreous, with an inner indistinct brownish narrow 

 baud. Underside lirownish-pinkish-ochreous. Furewing with the middle portion 

 from the base to near the outer margin suffused with brown, the spots as ou the

 Hills ; we took it at Matheran, Lanaoli and Mhow ; Betham records it from the 

 Central Provinces ; Aitken and Comber from the Konkan ; Hampson from the
