with purple-reddish. Hindwings with termen rounded; ochreous- 

 yellow; a fuscous discal dot at J; a basal dorsal fuscous suffusion 

 and several fuscous lines from dorsum, not passing mid-disc; two 

 fuscous subterminal lines and an interrupted dark fuscousterminal 

 line; cilia fuscous, apices grey-whitish. Underside ochreous, 

 discal dots distinct, followed in forewings by a large median 

 fuscous bl©tch, in both wings by several fine wavy fuscous lines; 

 both wings with a fuscous subterminal band interrupted in 

 middle. 



In Mey rick's tabulation this falls with doliopis, but may be 

 distinguished by the dentate antemedian line and dark median 

 band of forewings. It is also much larger.
