 discocellular, 4 from lower end of cell, bowed ; 3 from before the end, 2 from one- 

 fourth before the end ; costa nearly straight, slightly curving inwards beyond the 

 middle, outer margin convex, hinder margin straight, without the usual long tuft of 

 hairs turned upwards from near the base in the male as in so many allied genera. 

 liindwing, vein 8 very short, not nearly reaching the apex of the wing, discocellulars of 

 nearly equal length, straight and outwardly oblique, vein 3 emitted just before lower 

 end of cell ; a semicircular glandular patch of scales in the male, above and touching 

 the sub-costal nervure, its outer edge not reaching the origin of the first sub-costal 

 nervule ; costa arched at base, apex rounded, outer margin slightly convex, a moderate-

 large sub-quadrate orange patch in the upper disc, generally limited hindward by the 

 sub-median vein, its upper part narrower and more or less rounded, its side margins 

 somewhat irregular. Hindwing with a rather broad outer marginal orange band, 

 narrowing upwards, its inner margin irregular, with the brown veins running through 

 it ; tail brown, tipped with white ; anal lobe orange ; outer marginal line blackish- 

 brown. Cilia orange-grey. Underside orange-grey. Forewing with the orange patch 

 showing through the wing ; a thin pale brown discal band or thick line, slightly 

 outwardly curved and outwardly edged with pale whitish. Hindwing with a similar 

 discal band which is sinuous and curves inwards with two blunt angles on to the 

 abdominal margin ; anal lobe black, capped with orange-white ; a black spot in the 

 first interspace, capped with orange ; a pale brown marginal line with a white thread 

 inside it, and indications of a double sub-marginal band. Antennae black, ringed with
