Imago. — Male. Upperside with the ground colour fulvous, the lower half of the 

 forewing and nearly the whole of the hindwing suffused with brown powdered with 

 grey. Forewing with the costal margin narrowly brown, the outer margin with a 

 broad brown band which narrows upwards to the apex of the wing and contains an 

 indistinct fulvous sub-marginal line ; an ante-medial outwardly oblique band of two 

 large squarish brown spots, a medial band of three conjoined similar spots in an 

 irregular line from the middle of the costal band to the lower portion of the marginal 

 band above the hinder angle, a smaller similar sub-apical spot, joined to the costal 

 band, its inner lower end touching a larger square brown spot which occupies the next 

 two lower interspaces. Hindwing with an indistinct baud from the middle of the costa, 

 nearly straight down to the inner side of the anal lobe, another similar but more 

 distinct baud from the costa near the apex to vein 4, the brown suffusion in the disc 

 is less than ou the other portions of the wing, the fulvous colour more clear ; a sub- 

 marginal band and a marginal band slightly darker than the other bands with the 

 fulvous ground colour clear and distinct between them ; anal lobe black, with a little 

 greyish-white above it ; tails black, tipped with white, rather broad, very short, about 

 one-third the usual length. Cilia of both wings white, very narrowly brown at the 

 base. Underside chalky-white, bands red-brown, lined with black, with some silvery 

 scales inside them. Forewing with a sub-costal streak from the base, a bar across the 

 middle of the cell, another across the end, with a suffused grey space below them, a 

 band of three conjoined spots from near the costa at its middle to vein 2, the upper one 

 small, the third spot outwardly oblique, ending close to the end of the sub-marginal 

 band, with a smaller disconnected spot below its lower end, three sub-apical spots in 

 triangular form, the upper two round, the lower the larger, squarish, its upper outer 

 end touching the lower inner end of the outer round spot ; a sub-marginal band from 

 the costa to vein 2, nearly straight, its outer black lining Imiular, the band narrow on
