lustre ; a brown line along hind-marginal edge. Fore-wing : covering 
bases of median nervures, an ill-defined dusky patch. Hind-wing : 
hind-marginal line edged with white on both sides (except near apex) ; 
touching it internally, between second median nervule and anal angle, 
three black spots, of which the first is inwardly edged by an orange, 
the second by a whitish lunule, and the third, on lobe of angle, small, 
broadly orange, with an inward white lunule ; tails black, white-edged
