$ Fuscous, with a vivid purple gloss. Fore-iuing : three rather 
narrow yellow-ochreous markings, viz., a short, quadrate, cellular one, 
adjoining median nervure between origins of first and second nervules, 
an elongate, curved, irregular streak beyond middle, from close to 
costa, as far as first median nervule, and a small sub-lunulate spot 
near apex, between upper radial and third median nervules ; the purple 
gloss covering inner-marginal region from base to hind-margin, but 
not rising above median nerv^ure or its second nervule. Ilind-wing : 
purple extends from base to hind-margin, between subcostal nervure 
and its first nervule and submedian nervure ; on anal-angular lobe two 
blackish dots, scaled and ringed with silvery and whitish. Cilia white. 
Under side. — Silvery-white, with hroad, dull ochreous-hrown, centrally 
silver-streaked, Uack-edged hars and spots. Fore-wing : a quadrate spot 
at base, leaving costal edge and median nervure very narrowly silvery- 
white ; before middle, a short bar from costa to submedian nervure ; 
from about middle of costa a long oblique bar extending towards anal 
angle, but becoming obsolete just above submedian nervure ; a round 
spot on costa beyond middle ; from costa, near apex, a much-curved 
bar extending to between third and second median nervules, where it 
abruptly and bluntly ends ; a hind-marginal border of the same colour 
as the bars, commencing at apex and becoming obsolete about sub- 
median nervure, interiorly black-edged and rather sharply dentated, 
mesially traversed by an interrupted black line edged with whitish on 
both sides. Hind-wing : a basal and inner-marginal submacular bar, 
externally presenting five blunt projections, extending to about middle; 
an irregular, oblique central bar (continuous of first bar of fore-wing) 
extending to a little before anal angle, where it is angulated back-
