 costal and outer marginal black borders. Hindwing with the costal area broadly black, 

 outer marginal black band narrow, abdominal fold greyish, very slight productions at 

 the ends of all the veins. Cilia black, tipped with white. Underside pale ochreous

 with an obscure pale brown spot in the cell and a still more obscure lunular line closing 

 the end, discal and sub-marginal bands as on the forewing, but broader, more complete 

 and further apart from each other ; both wings with the space between the bands pale, 

 sometimes somewhat whitish-grey, clearest on the hindwing, marginal line brown, with 

 a whitish inner thread, with greyish-white lunular marks attached, more prominent on 

 the hindwing.

 broader. Underside as in the male.
