$ Fulvous-orange, %uith fuscous markings and hind-marginal bor- 
der. Fore-wing : base witli a slight fuscous-grey suffusion ; costa rather 
narrowly bordered with creamy or vinous-yellow from base to a little 
before middle, thence with fuscous to apex ; hind-marginal border 
broad, of nearly even width to about ]30sterior angle, where it is con- 
siderably enlarged ; a rather irregular submacular transverse discal band, 
of moderate width, from costal border, its lower extremity joining hind- 
marginal border on first median nervule ; usually a small rounded black 
spot in discoidal cell ; a larger, squarer, terminal disco-cellular spot 
confluent with costal border. Hind-iuing : base next costa shining 
pale ochreous-grey, next inner margin narrowly suffused with fuscous- 
grey ; apical area occupied broadly with brownish-black, which divides 
to form (i) a narrow hind-marginal edging, disappearing before attain- 
ing submedian nervure, and (2) a broader discal ray, ending rather 
abruptly on first median nervule ; inner margin whitish ; anal-angular 
lobe and caudal projection vinous-ochreous. Cilia conspicuously alter- 
nated with black and white. Under side. — Hind-ioing and margins 
of fore-wing varying from dull vinous to dark ferruginous-ochreous. 
Fore-wing: orange ground-colour paler than on upper side; the fol- 
lowing silvery-white black-ringed spots, viz., three disco-cellular (the 
additional spot being near base), and an irregular discal band of six. 
Hind-iving : two conspicuous, short, transverse, pure- white streaks 
about middle, between costal and subcostal nervures, at a little distance 
apart ; beyond middle a similar but much longer, slightly irregular, 
streak extending from first subcostal nervule to inner margin ; adjoining 
this streak a hoary-grey inner-marginal space, extending narrowly 
along margin, outwardly to lobe at anal angle, and inwardly as far as 
a small narrow white mark ; externally bounding upper part of discal 
white streak, a small purplish-fuscous cloud ; usually some pruinose
