Broivnish-hlack, with white hands and spots. Fore-wing : on costa 
beyond middle, not far from apex, three white spots of moderate size, 
forming a short band inclining towards hind-margin ; below them, 
between first and third median nervules, a large, somewhat quadrate, 
white spot, divided almost equally by the second median nervule ; 
immediately below the latter marking, and a little nearer base, is a 
semicircular, moderately-sized, white marking on inner margin ; in 
discoidal cell three white dots ; at its extremity a dark-margined, pale, 
transverse streak ; just leyond extremity, three white dots ; bordering 
hind-margin, three parallel rows of whitish lunules, the outer row 
very indistinct or even obsolete ; between the innermost of these 
lunular rows and the large white spots is a row of spots darker than 
the ground-colour ; close to the outer edge of the white spots are a 
few minute, white, thin spots, two or three of which are situate 
between the large white markings. Hind-wing : a compact rather 
narrow white band, almost straight on its inner edge, crosses about 
middle, from costa to inner margin, and is continuous of the semi- 
circular marking on inner margin of fore-wing ; row of darker spots as 
in fore-wing^ but more distinct ; rows of lunular marks almost obsolete. 
Under side. — Pcde-ochreous, varied, with ferruginous-hroion ; white bands 
and spots as on upper side. Fore-wing : costa at base ochreous-white ; 
four whitish-brown margined spots in discoidal cell, and a streak 
similarly coloured at its extremity ; portion around large white spots 
ferruginous-brown, with blackish rays hetween nervules ; row of darker 
spots, beyond white ones, blackish ; between the rows of white lunules 
bordering hind- margin are parallel dark-brown streaks. Hind-wing: 
basal portion pale-whitish ochreous, varied with ferruginous-brown stri« 
and marks, darker macular row, and lunular lines, as in fore-wing.
