$ Beep cream colour, inclining sometimes to a slightly pink , sometimes 
to cm oclirey-yello'W tint ; hordcrecl and transversely handed luith hlacJc ; 
hasal areas iuJiite, near thorax more or less clouded ivith hluish-grey ; 
nenration heyond middle hlack-clouded in hoth ivings. Fore-wing : basal 
bluish-grey variable in extent, covering from one-third to two-thirds 
of discoidal cell, so that white area beyond (extending to extremity of 
cell and to a little before middle inner-marginally) is wider or narrower 
accordingly ; costa blackish-edged, but covered as far as end of cell by 
basal bluish-grey ; a broad large elongated slightly-curved terminal 
disco-cellular black marking, superiorly touching costal blackish ; black 
nervular clouding only failing on lower radial nervule ; a highly irre- 
gular discal black band, strongly sinuated both superiorly and mesially, 
broad superiorly and inferiorly, but rather thin in its middle sinuation 
(on median nervules), runs from costa to inner margin ; a broad black 
hind-marginal border, marked externally by six short inter-nervular 
linear marks of the ground-colour, and internally more or less intimately 
united with discal band by the black-clouded nervules, so as to enclose 
eight unequal spots of the ground-colour (the four upper smaller than 
the four lower ones). Hind-wing : basal bluish-grey variable in extent, 
sometimes so wide as to obliterate the white usually present beyond it ; 
about middle of costa commences a transverse black band of variable 
width, both internally and externally rather irregularly dentate on 
nervules, extending almost to submedian nervure, not far before anal 
angle ; a broad hind-marginal black border as in fore- wing, but with 
seven external spots (not streaks) of the ground-colour, and so united
