Imago. — Male. Upperside rich brownish-black ; cilia alternated with white. 

 Foreiving with slender longitudinal streaks of golden-yellow scales within the cell, 

 and hairy-scaled broad streaks between the outer veins ; lower base of the wing also 

 sparsely speckled with golden-yellow scales. Hiiuhriny with a cream- white upper 

 discal patch composed of three portions, a short almost quadrate portion in the 

 costal interspace, and two lower large elongate portions in the subcostal interspaces, 

 a few white or grey scales also being present below the lower portion ; at the anal 

 angle is a dark purple-red circlet which generally partly encloses a round black spot, 

 followed by a lower submarginal series of three, sometimes four, more or less

 circle round a black spot ; in some specimens the lower lunule is obsolescent, in 

 others all the latter are obsolete. Underside paler. Foremng with prominent 

 greyish-white scaled slender cell-streaks and bread outer vein-streaks. Rindwivg
