Wings short, broad, triangular ; costa very convex, apical angle acute, exterior 

 margin angled outward near the apex, concave below the angle and convex hindward ; 

 first and second subcostal branches emitted before end o£ the cell, third at nearly 

 one-half beyond, fourth forked at one-third from the apex ; discocellulars short, 

 angled outward at their middle and extending only to one-third across the cell, the 

 cell being broad and open ; radials from the middle and lower end of discocellulars ; 

 median branches wide apart, upper branch much curved ; submedian nearly straight : 

 hindwing produced hindward to a short broad tail, costa very convex at the base, 

 apex acute, exterior margin sHghtly convex, abdominal margin deeply concave below 

 the anal angle ; costal vein arched, extending to apex, and with a short basal forked

 and two wavy marginal lines : underside dark fulvous-brown or dark olive-brown, 

 obliquely fasciated with purple : forewing with two more or less prominent black- 

 bordered white discoidal streaks and a lower spot, a red-lined discocellular mark, a

 lower spots ringed with purple, the upper terminating in a white costal streak, a
