pale glossy and semi-hyaline yellow. Fore wing with ocellate 

 antemedial mark extending from costa to inner margin, enclosing a 

 pale centre, its edges rufous and steel-blue ; a steel-blue and rufous 

 wedge-shaped fascia on inner area from the antemeclial mark to the 

 nearly straight black submarginal line, which expands into a spot 

 at costa and is broken near inner margin ; the discocellulars and 

 veins beyond the cell marked with rufous ; a faint cliff used rufous 

 line just inside the margin ; the apex blackish, with a white spot 

 below it. Hind wing with discocellular blackish band ; the inner 

 area tinged with rufous and with three curved black bars on it ; a

Differs from tibialis in the fore wing having the subbasal line 

 broken up into two spots ; the pale discocellular lunule larger ; 

 the medial line angled outwards above inner margin, so that it 

 approaches or joins the oblique line and also gives off a fascia to- 

 join the antemedial line : a brown fascia connecting the sub- 

 marginal with the marginal band above middle. Hind wing with 

 the submarginal band sending a spur inwards along vein 2 towards 

 the medial line.
