Palpi projecting about half the length of the head beyond it, whitish grey ; the apex of 

 the second joint much dilated ; the apical joint not exposed : head and antennae whitish 

 grey. Fore wings — with an appressed costal fold at the base in the male ; the costa slightly 

 arched; apical margin indented, slightly oblique — whitish grey, transversely streaked and 

 mottled with ferruginous over the apical half of the wing; some slender brownish costal 

 streaklets divide the pale ground-colour into five oblique geminated streaks, which, partially 

 blending, acquire a bluish metallic lustre posteriorly, and are continued in angulated lines 

 across the wing : the basal patch is brownish, irrorated with fuscous scales, occupying fully one 

 third of the dorsal margin ; its outer edge leaving the dorsal margin at first straight, but 

 quickly becoming oblique, is strongly angulated about the middle : two shining metallic steel- 

 blue patches, each preceded by some short black dashes, form the ocellated spot above the 

 anal angle : cilia greyish white, tipped with black and having a very distinct black line along 

 their base. Hind wings pale brownish grey, with a distinct line of the same colour running 

 within the paler cilia. Type $ .
