^ Fale creamy reddisli-oclireous^ ivith a slight tinge, of p ink ; ivith 
small hlacJc spots and narrovj hloxk lordcrs. Fore-iuing : semi-trans- 
parent ; basal portion rather dusky, tlie base itself narrowly black ; in 
discoidal cell, rather beyond its middle, an elongate spot ; at upper 
part of extremity of cell a similar thinner spot ; a little beyond cell an 
oblique row from near costal edge of five small spots, of which the first 
or second (sometimes both) are obsolete, and the fifth, below third 
median nervule, is distinctly separate from the rest ; below cell, in a 
line with its terminal spot, two spots, one above, the other below, first 
median nervule ; nearer to base than all the others, a small round spot 
below median nervure ; black border merely linear along costa till near 
apex, where it widens to form rather a wide apical tip, but thence 
becomes very narrow along hind-margin and linear near posterior 
angle ; along hind-margin the border emits linear nervular rays ; 
between upper radial and second . median nervule, two (sometimes 
three) inter-nervular short linear black rays, not united with hind- 
marginal border. Hind-tuing : base suffused with blackish, principally 
below discoidal cell ; in cell two spots, the outer one larger, elongate ; 
a spot at upper part of extremity of cell ; another on costa before 
middle ; another below median nervure ; a very irregular discal row of 
seven spots, of which the first, fourth (just outside end of cell), and 
sixth are nearer to base than the rest ; the border along hind-margin 
varies from consisting of a terminal thin edging, preceded by a suffused 
festooned streak (failing towards anal angle) enclosing spots of the 
ground-colour, to being moderately- broad and unspotted. Cilia pale 
greyish-ochreous. Under side. — Ilind-iuing pale creamy-yellowish, 
mried with dull-pink basally, inner-m.arginally, and towards hind- 
margin ; spots of fore-wing less, those of hind-wing more conspicuous 
than on upper side. Fore-wing : two small spots on costa at base ; no 
basal blackish ; very narrow linear costal and hind-marginal black 
edging inwardly bounded by pale-yellowish irroration, most noticeable 
at and near apex ; the incomplete subapical black inter-nervular streaks 
are continued to hind-marginal edging as orange-ochreous streaks ; 
above them one long wholly orange-ochreous inter-nervular streak. 
Hind-wing : a small spot at origin of costal nervure ; another on costa
