$ Dull hrownish-grey ; a fuscous hind-marginal edging line ; cilia 
hroivnish-grey at lase, hut whitish outwardly, — in hind-wing partly 
interrupted with narrow fuscous at extremities of nervules. Phre- 
wing : an almost obsolete or very indistinct terminal disco-cellular 
dusky lunule ; in some specimens very faint, paler and darker discal 
and submarginal marks indicating pattern of under side. Hind-iving : 
much as in fore-wing, the indications of under-side pattern less indis- 
tinct, especially towards hind-margin, where an outer submarginal 
series of paler lunules appears, as well as a thin hind-marginal whitish 
line, more pronounced, near anal angle ; between first and second 
median nervules, a rather well-marked black spot, bordered inwardly by 
a pale ochrey-yellow lunule ; often indistinct traces of a smaller similar 
spot below first median nervule ; an extremely short linear hlach tail^ 
not white-tijjpcd, at extremity of first median nervule. Under side. — 
Almost exactly as in Asopus, hut the ground-colour more tinged with 
hrownish, and the ivhite markings loider and more conspicuous, especially 
the inner of the two suhmarginal rows of lunides. Fore-iving : discal 
row decidedly less regular, bent inward on median nervules, its lowest 
spot (above submedian nervure) often indistinct, sometimes geminate. 
Hind-wing : the four black white-ringed spots of sub-basal row all con- 
spicuous, — the third touching the second, and just below median ner- 
vure at origin of its first nervule ; in discal row the last spot (on 
inner margin), as well as the first spot (close to costa), is conspicuous, 
rounded, black, white-ringed, and the sixth spot (between first and second 
median nervules) touching lower extremity of broad terminal disco-cellu- 
lar lanule ; smaller hind-marginal spot, at anal angle itself, much better 
developed than in Asopus, and (except for its much smaller size and 
the suffused condition of the yellow lunule) like the larger superior 
one ; hetween the loivcst of the inner suhmarginal series of lunules and 
the last inner-marginal spot of discal row a slender longitudinal white 
streak.
