Park-broiV7i ; beyond middle a pale oehreous band tinged tvith dull- 
red crossing both loings. Fore-wing : some dull-reddish scales on costa 
near base ; two irregular, sometimes half-obliterated, dull-red trans- 
verse striae in discoidal cell, the inner striae externally, the outer 
internally, edged with a blue-dotted black line ; a thin black line 
inwardly edged with blue at extremity of cell, and a more indistinct 
similar stria a little beyond it ; pale-ochreous band bifid on costa, 
the outer ray being very much narrower than the inner, macular, and 
more or less interrupted ; immediately before the outer ray of the band 
are the first three of a transverse row of six white-centred black spots, 
parallel to hind-margin, of which the remaining three (as in the allied 
species) are in the oehreous band, near its outer edge, the last spot 
being above submedian nervure ; close to hind-margin are two rows of 
lunular markings, scarcely paler than ground-colour, but the inner 
row more or less coloured with bluish scales ; fringe brown, white- 
spotted in indentations of margin. Hind-iving : oehreous band con- 
tinued across this wing, beyond middle, to a little before anal angle 
on inner margin, and containing five black dots, not white-centred, 
between first subcostal and third median nervules ; two indistinct, 
slightly paler in tint, lunulate streaks, divided by a streak darker than 
ground-colour, border hind-margin ; at anal angle is a faint-bluish 
mark ; fringe as in fore-wing. Under side. — Of a darker, duller
