Imago. — Male. Upperside dark brown. Forewing. A medial dull whitish spot 

 at base of interspace 3 extending upwards on to vein 4 and below into interspace 2. 

 Ilindwing uniform, immaculate. Underside very pale dull brown, with darker brown 

 mottlings and striae that on the forewing are absent on a broad streak from base 

 outwards along the basal half of the dorsum, this area pale brown without markings ; 

 a dark obscure spot at apex of cell, and an incomplete similarly obscure dark transverse 

 discal band. On the hindwing the mottlings coalesce and form three or four very ill- 

 defined, obscure, transverse, somewhat broad bands. The antennae in the only 

 specimen of the male that I have seen are wanting ; head, thorax and abdomen are 

 dark brown. Sex mark, the base of vein 4 swollen and bare of scales (Bingham). 



Female. Above black, a round, dull white discal area on the forewing from just 

 above the upper median vein almost to the sub-median vein. Below, irregularly 

 speckled and variegated ; forewing with the costal and apical parts ochreous-brown, 

 the rest blackish. Ilindwing also tinged with ochreous, a sub-marginal dark area, and 

 obscure dark transverse bands. Hindwing not angled, the margin entire (Doherty). 



Expanse of wings, ^ ? 1t^ inches. 



Habitat. — Margherita, Upper Assam.
