$ 2 • Hind wing broadly caudate. <J . Upper side very dark 

 brown, the wings with slender subterminal and terminal sinuous 

 lines and the cilia ochraceous white. Pore wing: a narrow, 

 oblique, ochraceous-white discal band, followed by a postdiscal

 lower one or two pupilled with white. Underside slightly paler, 

 fore and hind wings with prominent ochraceous-white discal bands
