 defined on each side by a few black scales, a slightly darker patch 

 beyond it below submedian fold ; orbicular and reniform with very

 and constricted at middle ; a waved medial line, oblique from costa 

 to median nervure, then incurved ; postmedial line double, black 

 at costa, strongly bent outwards below costa, then bluish white, 

 slightly incurved at discal fold, incurved below vein 4, some white 

 points beyond it on costa ; a dentate pale reddish and blue-white sub- 

 terminal line, incurved at discal and submedian folds ; a fine black

 at the veins. Hind wing deep reddish brown overlaying ochreous ;
