irregular dots; a large vinous spot at the base; external edge with 



a deeper band, nearly ferruginous, bordered with the same color 



as the base. Each wing has two round, ocelliform spots towards 



the middle ; ring vinous; centre white; these two are contiguous 



on the primaries. Those on the secondaries are a little separated, 



the upper one is browner. Under side paler yellow, edges above 



a little ferruginous and somewhat more spotted than the rest. The

Dull reddish-brown. Thorax banded with white before and behind. 

 Abdomen with a white stigmatal band, edged above and beneath 

 with black, and containing reddish-brown spots. Fore wings with 

 a basal white streak extending from the costa to the base of medio- 

 posterior nervule and thence to the inner margin at the base of the 

 wing, bordered toward the base with orange-yellowish and exter- 

 nally by black. The breadth of the disk is occupied by a large 

 trigonate vitreous patch, extended behind so as to interrupt a white, 

 wavy, narrow band crossing the middle of the nervules, and which 

 is bordered internally with black and externally with orange-yel- 

 lowish. The trigonate patch is edged within by white and exter- 

 nally by black behind and before. Beyond the transnervular band 

 the wing is brown dusted with blackish and powdered with whitish 

 roseate in the medio-posterior and submedian interspaces behind 

 the band. At the tip is a large whitish roseate patch, three con- 

 tiguous black spots at the end of the postapical interspace, with a 

 wavy, black, submarginal line. Hind margin luteo-testaceous. 

 Hind wings, trigonate vitreous patch somewhat larger than in fore 

 wings, continued around the costa to the base of the wing and the
