Imago. — Male. Upperside rufous or redclisli-oclireou.«, brightest in the wet 

 season brood. Cilia black, alternately edged with white. Forewliuj with a small 

 white subapical costal dentate spot ; cell crossed by a slightly-defined blackish 

 slender short basal line, two sinuous or a looped mark across the middle, an angular 

 line be^'ond and continued below to the submedian vein, and an angular discocellular 

 line ; followed by a transverse inner-discal angulated waved line, two outer-discal 

 sinuous lines, the outer one being sometimes obscure, and the inner line acutely 

 pointed in the interspace of lower radial and upper median, and then a submarginal 

 more distinct sinuous lino, the extreme outer marginal edge being also slenderly 

 blackish. Eindnnng with the costal border to the lower subcostal branch more or 

 less distinctly suffused with purple-red and speckled with greyish-white scales, and 

 with the two subcostal hranches more or less prominently lined iuith greyish-white scales ; 

 a slender blackish basal cell looped-mark, a slender waved line across its middle 

 which extends upward to the costa and below to the submedian vein, and a 

 discocellular line ; followed from the lower subcostal by a transverse inner-discal 

 curved waved line, two outer-discal sinuous lines, and then a more distinctly 

 sinuous submarginal line, between which latter, in most specimens, is a traversing 

 series of very obscure dusky lunules. Underside. Ground-colour dull pale 

 castaneous-brown in dry-season brood, or more or less greyish castaneous-brown in 

 the wet-season brood. Foreiving crossed by deep rich purplish-castaneous cell-bars, 

 an inner and an outer upper-discal black-edged sinuous band, and a slender 

 submarginal sinuous black line ; white apical spot as above ; the discal area from 

 upper media)!, to the submedian glossy black, clothed with black elongated oval scales, 

 narrow fan-shaped scales, some of which latter are finely ciliated in front,
