black line highly angled on vein 7, then oblique to inner margin, 
and with some dark suffusion beyond it, especially below apex. 
Hind wing with waved black line from near apex to inner margin 
before anal angle, some dark suffusion beyond it; both wings with 
waved marginal black line. Underside whitish, with a more or less 
developed broad dark submarginal band. 
The base of the fore wing may be suffused with fuscous or grey

Differs from subplagiata 11 being more stoutly built; the fore 
wing less produced. Males with the underside of hind wing 
clothed with long rough hair and scales on the inner area, especially 
betow the middle of cell. 
The range of variation is similar. In the form nigrifasciata 
from the Nilgiris the black lines are stronger, and on the fore 
wing the ante- and postmedial lines approach each other at lower 
angle of cell; underside without the dark band beyond the post- 
medial line.

o. Antenne bipectinated almost to apex, tibiz not dilated and 
without fold. Colour rufous, suffused with fuscous. Differs from 
subplagiata in the antemedial line of fore wing being less angled 
on subcostal and median nervures, then less oblique, the post- 
medial less angled at vein 7. Hind wing with the postmedial line 
excurved from costa to vein 4. Underside uniform in colour.

Fore wing with the antemedial line double, much more highly 
angled below costa and beyond lower angle of cell, then very 
oblique ; the postmedial line indistinct, with other indistinet waved 
lines beyond it. Hind wing with the oblique postmedial line and 
black line beyond it more distinct; the latter with fine rufous lines 
beyond it; the margin produced to points at veins 4 and 7.
