base, anal angle lobed, outer margin sinuous towards the tail ; a large, well defined

 rounded, placed anterior to the discoidal cell and covers the base of vein 2. Tlie 

 female has the wings broader and shorter than the male, the apex of the forewing less 

 acute, the outer margin convex, not straight, the hindwing much less produced 

 hiudwards, the tail shorter.

Imago. — Male. Upperside dark fuliginous-brown. Foreiving without markings. 

 lllndwing with the tail, anal lobe, and a small anal patch dull ochreous ; a small 

 indistinct spot on the anal lobe. Underside pale ochreous-brown. Forewing, a black 

 spot at the base of the cell, a dark brown, broad, outwardly curved band with ii-regular 

 ochreous edges, from the costal nervure to a little below the median vein, crossing the 

 cell somewhat beyond its middle, with pale indications of its continuation hindwards, a 

 pale brown line, edged on Ijotli sides with ochreous at the end of tlie cell ; a dark 

 brown, broad discal band, from the costa to a little below the sub-median vein, 

 composed of conjoined squarish spots, the first four outwardly oblique, the others 

 commencing a little inwards nearly straight down the wing, narrowing gradually 

 liindwards ; indications of a pale browTi, sub-marginal, double series of lunular marks. 

 Hindwing with a basal blackish-brown spot, a larger one immediately below the costal 

 vein, two smaller ones in a line below it, two conjoined spots closing the cell, a discal 

 very irregular band, commencing from the costal vein where there is a large square 

 Idackish-brown spot attached to it below, half outwards is a similar spot, with a 

 smaller blackish-brown spot attached to its lower side half outwards ; these are followed 

 by a curiously formed series of five small paler spots, the first well outside, a parallel 

 pair below it and another similar pair below and inwards ; then there is an indistinct 

 pair lielow these joined on the inner side to a heart-shaped pale .spot with brown edges, 

 with a curving sinuous brown line attached, which bends inwards and upwards near
