3 . Upperside : fore wing orange-yellow, margins somewhat 

 broadly greyish brown sharply defined ; the sex-mark brown, very 

 prominent ; a round, black preapical spot ; cilia greyish. Hind 

 wing uniform greyish brown, with obscure subterminal dark line; 

 cilia white ; termen strongly scalloped. Underside similar to the 

 upperside, but on the fore wing the margins are paler brown and 

 not so sharply defined, the orange-yellow on. the basal half is 

 bordered by a curved, transverse, somewhat obscure pale band, 

 and on the terminal half by a dark zigzag line, beyond which the 

 termen is narrowly pale ; a preapical, white-centred, yellow-ringed, 

 black ocellus with a slender brown outer ring ; finally an anticiliary 

 black line. Hind wing paler than on the upperside ; a strongly 

 curved, median, narrow white band margined inwardly with 

 ferruginous ; three black, white-ringed spots, first near apex of 

 interspace 1, second more inwards in interspace 2, third smaller 

 in interspace 5 ; beyond these an obscure subterminal, whitish, 

 narrow band and an anticiliary black line. Antennae brown 

 ringed with white ; head, thorax and abdomen greyish brown. 



5 . Upperside differs from the rf in having a curved dark 

 sinuous discal band crossing both wings, sometimes obscure on 

 the hind wing ; the basal area within this band is greyish brown 

 on the fore wing, with a shading of yellow outwardly. Underside 

 similar to that of the tf , the transverse band more clearly defined.
