of black scales exteadingacross the end of the cell ; the outer marginal line finely black. 

 Hindwing with outer marginal line finely black, a white thread on its inner side from 

 vein 3 to the anal angle ; anal lobe white with a large dull orange spot in it ; tails black, 

 tipped with white. Cilia of both wings white. Underside grey, somewhat silvery, 

 markings darker grey. Forewing with two lines together at the end of the cell, a 

 discal almost straight transverse line, edged on both sides with white. Hindwing with 

 two similar lines at the end of the cell, a discal, irregular line or thin band of the same 

 width as on the forewing, and also similarly edged with w^hite on both sides, shifted 

 half out on vein 6, and then shifted half in on vein 4, shifted inwards again at vein 2 

 in a V-shape where it curves inwards to the abdominal margin ; a large black 

 anal spot, another in the first interspace, the latter half ringed with orange, some 

 bluish -grey scales between them ; both wings with marginal dark grey line, and a sub- 

 marginal lunular pale band, well separated from the margin, ending in a line near 

 the anal angle which bends inwards, parallel to the final line of the discal series, and 

 rather close to it. 



Female. Upperside dull brown, varying in shade in different examples, a darker 

 obscure mark at the end of the cell of the forewing, and an indistinct narrow band 

 crosses both wings a little beyond the middle, outwardly curved on the forewing, less 

 curved on the hindwing, where it contains some whitish spots on the lower portion of 

 its outer side, and a sub-terminal series of dark lunular spots, capped with white, 

 commencing on the anal lobe, decreasing in size upwards and becoming obsolete beyond 

 the middle of the margin, but these white marks vary much in extent in different 

 examples. Underside as in the male, but generally paler. Antennae black, ringed with 

 white ; eyes ringed with white ; head and body purplish-brown above, whitish beneath.
