Uxp. al., I in. 1 1 lin. — 2 in. 3^ lin. 
Brown, ivith a common fulvous-ochreous disced hand, hifid in fore- 
wing, aiid in Jiind-wing more or less tinged tvith dull creamy on its inner 
^portion. Fore-wing : costa rufous-ochreous from base to extremity of 
discoidal cell ; across cell two short broad fulvous-ochreous stripes, the 
outer of which extends below cell, where it is crossed by base of first 
median nervule ; in cell, the spaces before, between, and beyond the 
fulvous-ochreous stripes are rather indistinctly bluish with blackish 
edges ; just beyond extremity of cell a short, angulated, transverse 
black streak, immediately succeeded by a rather suffused blue one; 
discal band bifid from third median nervule, and partly traversed by 
three spots of a row of seven parallel to hind-marginal border ; of these 
spots, the dark rings of the upper four are merged in the ground- 
colour between the arms of the discal band, the first having a blue 
suffused centre, while the other three have well-defined pure-white 
centres (that of the third spot the largest), — the fifth and sixth are 
without centres, and the last (which is double) has a minute white 
centre in its larger upper portion ; inner half of moderately wide brown 
hind-marginal border traversed by a row of rather faint and suffused 
black-edged bluish lunules, — outer half externally edged with a blackish 
line. Hind-tving : near base two small fulvous-ochreous spots, one 
between costal and subcostal nervures, the other in discoidal cell ; five 
small black spots in the row traversing discal band, between first sub- 
costal and first median nervules, — the second spot occasionally (and 
very rarely the third also) with a minute white centre ; hind-marginal 
border as in fore-wing, except that at anal angle the last blue lunule 
of inner portion is larger and brighter than the rest, and joins on the 
anal-angular process a similar outer lunule. Cilia brown, with whitish 
inter-nervular interruptions. Under side. — Dull reddish-ochreous, much 
sJiot with riolaceous ; a common narrow median yellow stripe, externally 
dcntated ; the markings of the upper side faintly indicated by corre- 
sponding outlines of slatey-grey. Fore-iving : transverse cellular stripes 
indicated by a paler, yellower colour ; the three white-centred spots of 
upper side represented by impure-white spots in rufous-grey rings ; a 
slight hoary irroration at apex. Flind-iving : a similar irroration about 
anal-angular process. 
The sexes do not differ in appearance, except that in the $ the 
wings are broader and less angulated, and the common discal band is 
markedly wider, and of a duller, deeper fulvous. 
Notwithstanding the much more angulated wings — the fore-wings are 
indeed falcate — and the dull-coloured, little-varied under side, TuJiUoa is 
undoubtedly a very close ally of Ceryne, Eoisd., every marking actually cor-
