Bright ochreous. Pore wing with a dark speck at base ; a 

 curved postmedial band ; a dark spot at end of cell ; a postmedial 

 band of irregular fuscous blotches. Hind wing in some specimens 

 with traces of a submarginal fuscous band. 



The form humilis from Burma ( $ 22 millim.) has the postmedial 

 band broad on the disk and widely separated from the antemedial 

 band ; in dasara— chromatica, from Kangra, the Mlgiris, Sumatra, 

 Java (30 millim.), the band is narrower, much more irregular, and 

 often conjoined to the antemedial band below the cell ; in nebulosa, 

 from Sikhim ( $ 32 millim.), the antemedial band expands into a 

 large patch on inner margin conjoined to the postmedial band, which 

 is very broad and occupies the whole disk ; the hind wing whitish. 



The form calamaria= punctata has all the markings obsolete, 

 except the black spots at base and end of cell of fore wing.
