 tornal ocellus on hind wing proportionately larger than in M.

 Male sex-mark in form 2, but the patch of specialized scales 

 on the underside of the fore wing very small and incon- 

 spicuous against the nacreous background, which is very dark ■ 

 the pencil of hair over the specialized scales on the hind wing 

 very small.
