Imago.- — Male. Upperside olive-brown ; glossy ; cilia dusky cinereous. Fore- 

 wing with two dusky-brown bars across middle of the cell ; a transverse discal sinu- 

 ous dusky-brown narrow band, which is dilated towards the costa and is faintly pale- 

 bordered on its outer edge; a series of four minute pale ohvescent-ochreous super- 

 posed subapical spots, and a submarginal darker brown shade. From the base of 

 the upper median to the submedian vein, extends an inwardly oblique dentiform glan- 

 dular 2Mtch, which is entirely clothed with jet-black scales ; these scales, as seen under 

 the microscope, are moderately short, with the base attenuating to a point, a broad 

 expanding tip having a lateral excurved point on each side, and in some of them 

 also a central point. Hindioing with a narrow discal sinuous dusky line, a subapical 

 series of five blackish spots, a slender marginal line inwardly bordered by a pale 

 line and outwardly by ochreous-brown ; a submarginal dusky lunular shade. 



Underside pale olivescent-ochreous. Foreioing with the discal area somewhat 

 cinerescent ; cell streaks, sinuous discal band, the former with pale interspace, dark 

 ochreous-brown; subapical spots distinct and pure white; marginal line with a 

 slender pale inner-border. Eindioing with two subbasal and a discal sinuous dark 

 ochreous-brown narrow band, the two former outwardly and the latter inwardly 

 bordered by a narrow pale ochreous line ; a series of five equal-sized ocelH, the fifth 

 duplex, each with a small black centre and white pupil, an ochreous ring, a brown 

 ring, and then an outer lilacine ring, the last being obsolescent on the two lowest 

 oceUi; marginal line outwardly-bordered by ochreous and inwardly by a slender 

 lilacine- white line ending in a triangular anal spot. 



Female. Upperside somewhat paler. Foreioing with the cell streaks, the sinu- 

 ous discal anteriorly-dilated narrow band more sharply defined and blackish ; the 

 svibmarginal shade darker, subapical superposed-spots being five in number, larger, 

 and more strongly defined. Hindioing with the discal sinuous line somewhat more 

 distinct, the black spots larger, more prominent and each with a pale outer inng ; 

 marginal lines and the submarginal shade brighter coloured. Underside of a much 

 brighter ochreous tint than in male. Forewing with the cell streaks and the upper 

 discal area to the sinuous line darker and brighter ochreous-brown ; the five sub- 

 apical white spots as above; marginal line with a slender pale inner bordering
