$ Brown, luith a ivarm ochreous-yelloiu discal transverse hand common 
to hoth wings. Fore-wing : tbe band begins very narrowly on upper 
radial nervule, but widens greatly downwards till it occupies about the 
outer third of inner marginal edge ; externally the band is bounded 
by a lunulate submarginal black streak, and internally by a broad, 
obscure, chocolate-red band extending from costa to inner margin ; 
on costa near apex a short row of two to four very faint small ochreous- 
yellow spots indicate actual origin of the band of that colour ; before 
middle two obscure, irregular, transverse fuscous streaks, of which 
the outer internally edges the obscure chocolate-red band ; also, 
two cellular striolse, one near base, the other at extremity of cell ; a 
hind-marginal narrow border of mixed brown and ochreous-yellow, the 
yellow predominating at posterior angle. Hind-wing : ochreous-yellow 
band very wide, occupying apical area and extending pretty evenly 
to inner margin before and up to anal angle, leaving a border of 
the ground-colour only along its middle portion, and that of variable 
width and distinctness ; lunulate black submarginal streak more con- 
spicuous than in fore- wing, becoming silvery- edged in its lower 
portion ; hind-marginal brownish-ochreous border traversed by a 
broken indistinct fuscous streak ; before middle, two very obscure 
fuscous streaks continuous of those in fore-wing. Cilia fuscous, with 
white inter-nervular marks. Under side. — Broivnish-grey, much varied 
with transverse irregular ferruginous streaks and thin ivhite or whitish 
lines ; in hoth luings the following thinly white-edged ferruginous 
streaks before middle, viz., a short cellular one (smaller in hind- 
wing), a long one from costa to submedian nervure crossing cell, an 
almost linear even one at extremity of cell, and a broader very irre- 
gular one quite across wing beyond cell ; a little beyond this latter 
streak, an irregular whitish line (sometimes indistinct), which in hind- 
wing runs near and almost parallel to the ferruginous streak. Fore- 
iving : immediately beyond whitish line just mentioned a ferruginous 
transverse bar, widest on costa ; succeeded by a row of eight small 
lunulate marks, of which the first (on costa) is white and all the 
others ochreous-yellow ; beyond the lunules a paler space traversed 
inwardly by a more or less distinct white or whitish streak ; two 
hind-marginal, lunulated, parallel white linear streaks (of which the 
mner one is silvery), obscured by a ferruginous cloud both below apex 
and a little above posterior angle. Hind-unng : a similar arrange- 
ment of markings to that in fore-wing; in the row of seven lunules 
the two near costa are usually creamy-yellow and conspicuous, the
