^ Fulvous-ochreous, with black spots and hind-marginal border. 
Fore-iving : in discoidal cell, a minute round spot in upper part near 
base, succeeded by a sinuate short transverse streak ; at extremity of 
cell, an irregularly-quadrate marking ; two rather small spots below 
median nervure ; a discal transverse series of six spots (of which the 
upper three, near costa, are contiguous, and sometimes emit rays joining, 
or almost joining, disco-cellular terminal marking), curving inward to 
below first median nervule ; a rather narrow hind-marginal border, 
marked externally with eight spots of the ground-colour, of which the 
first is linear and indistinct, the second to the fifth decreasingly lanceo- 
late, and the others bluntly rounded, the last being much the largest ; 
just before hind-marginal border, between costa and third median 
nervule, a row of four more or less suffused and contiguous spots, so 
connected with the border as to shut off four small spots of the 
ground-colour ; the second of these enclosed spots is the largest, and 
paler than the rest (in one instance white) ; base and costa somewhat 
dusky. Hind-iving : paler towards costa, fading into whitish on costal 
edge, — the nervures there situate markedly green ; on costa, about 
middle, an imperfect ring-spot (sometimes filled with black) ; occasion- 
ally three minute spots marking upper and outer edge of discoidal 
cell ; hind-marginal border narrower than in fore-wing, and more 
broken along its inner edge, enclosing mesially a series of eight small 
lunulate spots of ground-colour, and externally a continuous lunulate 
streak of the same colour (commencing on first subcostal nervule, and 
marked with silvery-bluish at anal angle), leaving a linear but very 
well-defined black hind-marginal edging ; tails narrow, acute, — the 
one on third shorter than that on first median nervule. Under side. 
— Hind-wing, and costal edging and apical area of fore-wing, pah 
olivaceous-grey, varied with broionish and with silvery markings. Fore- 
wing : rest of area pale salmon-red ; spots as on upper side, but 
smaller, more sharply defined, and thinly edged with silvery- white ; 
two additional spots near base, one in cell and the other just above it 
on costa ; spots of discal row (except the lowest) broadly bordered 
externally by silvery ; hind-marginal border greyish-silvery, — its exter- 
nal spots (all faintly marked except the lowest) pale salmon-red, and 
the two lowest inwardly edged by conspicuous black lunulate marks ; 
the streak before hind-marginal border much narrower than on upper 
side and prolonged to first median nervule, — the spots between it and 
border silvery, mixed with salmon-red in the lower ones. Rind-wing : 
before middle, between costal and submedian nervures, a transverse
