Imago. — Male. Upperside blackish-brown. Foreiving with seven semi-hyaline 

 spots ; two within the cell towards its end, one above the other, one a little larger close 

 to the base of the first median interspace, and a similar spot obliquely above it, near 

 the base of the second median interspace, three small sub-apical spots in an outwardly 

 oblique curve. Hindwing with a small, slightly suffused space, slightly yellow-tinted 

 in the upper middle of the wing, otherwise without markings. Cilia of forewing 

 chequered brown and greyish-white, of hindwing greyish-white, with a few brown 

 marks on it. Underside with the ground colour slightly paler, the spots as on the 

 upperside and a series of small white sub-marginal spots in the interspaces, the 

 series generally complete, but in some examples one or two of them are obsolescent. 

 Hindwing with a conspicuous discal white outwardly curved band, divided by the 

 veins into six elongated spots, commencing from near the costa before the apex, 

 increasing in size hindwards, largest in the middle, and extending to near the sub- 

 median vein ; a small whitish spot at the end of the cell, sometimes absent, and 

 an incomplete series of sub-marginal whitish spots, the two nearest the anal angle 

 larger than the others which are minute ; the wing sparsely covered with minute 

 yellowish scales. Antennae black, the shaft minutely spotted with white on the 

 underside, the club pale orange-yellow on the underside and at the tip ; palpi, head
