 distance from base of the second subcostal ; costal border, basally, broadly glossy 

 greyish-white, extending to below base of the radial veinlet, and in the dry-season 

 form, isolating an elongated unglossed brownish patch of scales between the bases

Imago. — Male and female. Upperside rich ochreous-black ; cilia greyish-brown. 

 Forewing with a rich yellowish-ochreous discoidal streak which does not extend

 centred wedge-shaped mark ; a subapical broad band somewhat irregularly edged 

 on both sides, a lower-discal oblique broad band which is slightly constricted in its 

 middle, and the upper portion sinuous outwardly ; beyond is a prominent ochreous

 band which widens anteriorly, and a narrow outer-discal curved band, followed by a 

 slender dull ochreous submarginal line ; costal border, basally, broadly, glossy greyish- 

 white, extending to below base of the radial veinlet, and isolating an elongated 

 unglossed brownish patch of scales between bases of the subcostals. Underside 

 with pale dull yellowish-ochreous less-defined markings, as above, except that the 

 discoidal streak extends very slightly below tlie cell, the intervening ground-colour
