of discoidal cell and third median nervule, hroiun luith a cupreous tinge ; 
short, rather narrow borders of the same colouring, extending on costa 
to base and on hind-margin to posterior angle. Hind-wing: a 
cupreous-brown border, wide along costa and at apex, narrow along 
hind-margin to anal angle ; a rather well-defined hind-marginal black 
spot between second and first median nervules ; below the latter 
nervule the trace of a similar spot. Cilia whitish, with faint dusky 
nervular interruptions on lower part of hind-wing. Under SIDE. —

spot, and with part of its outer white edging confluent with inner 
white edging of submarginal lunulated row ; hind-marginal spot 
inwardly edged by an orange-yellow lunule, — as is also a minute spot 
close to anal angle ; an indistinct hind-marginal whitish line forming
