 di.scal band of four semi-tran.sparent white spots divided by the veins, one oblong, at 

 the end of the cell, another also oblong, below it, near the base of the first median 

 interspace, the third smaller, at the base of the second median interspace, wedged 

 into the junction of the other two spots, the fourth spot half the size of the first and 

 second, in the interno-median interspace. Ilindioing without markings. Underside. 

 Foreicing with the spots as on the upperside, with three sub-costal streaks connecting 

 the discal band with the costa (these are sometimes indicated on the upperside), the 

 lowest spot of the band much larger than it is on the upperside, reaching the sub- 

 median vein and outwardly diffused. Cilia of both wings concolorous with the wings. 



Female like the male.
