J Fttscous-UacJc, with a large didl-orange hasi-discal patch in each 
loing ; bases rather widely tinged with fuscous-grey ; cilia fuscous-hlach^ 
tvith small hit conspicuous inter-ncrvidar white interruptions. Fore- 
wing : costa edged narrowly with greyish yellow-ochreous, wider near 
base ; orange patch commencing near base, occupying lower part of 
discoidal cell, covering median nervure and basal halves of its three 
nervules, and extending narrowly to inner margin about middle ; ex- 
tremity of discoidal cell marked by a pale ochreous-yellow narrow spot 
indenting the black above. Hind-iving : orange patch occupying 
costa to about middle, and crossing to inner margin, near which, 
beyond middle, it is usually confluent with a partly oblique sub- 
marginal orange band commencing on third median nervule and end- 
ing at anal angle ; projection at extremity of first median nervule short, 
rather blunt, — that at anal angle much longer, slightly curved, rather 
broad, rounded at tip, ochrey-yellow tinged with lake. Under side. — 
ITind-umig ctnd apical area and hind-marginal border of fore-wing 
yellow- or mnous-ochreous^ clouded with brownish betiveen nervures^and ivith 
numerous slender, mostly arrow-shaped^ bright-silvery^ very thinly black- 
edged marks. Fore-iving : costa narrowly bordered with ochreous, and 
near base edged with whitish ; orange extends from base over whole of 
cell and almost to hind-margin, fading into whitish all along inner 
margin ; two small round black-edged silvery spots in discoidal 
cell ; a larger one externally angulated at extremity of cell ; spots 
of apical area arranged as in ArgyraspiSj but the four spots 
along hind -marginal portion sagittiform ; the lowest spot of these 
four interiorly touches a round one which is the first of an oblique 
row of three reaching to first median nervule (occasionally a fourth, 
nearer base, very faintly indicated beneath that nervule) ; outwardly 
bordering orange, between third median nervule and submedian ner- 
vure, a row of three large suffused fuscous sub-sagittiform spots, with 
silvery points externally. Hind-iuing : neuration and a submarginal 
ray paler than rest of area ; the following silvery markings, viz., a 
narrow spot close to costa and base ; two opposedly sub-sagittiform 
marks between costal and subcostal nervures ; two small round spots 
in discoidal cell ; a large superiorly- acuminate spot at extremity of 
cell ; three or four small spots below cell ; a discal irregular row of 
eight or nine variously shaped marks, of which the two respectively 
between subcostal nervules and second and first median nervules are 
opposedly sagittiform ; and a hind-marginal row, interrupted near 
costa and near anal angle, of sharply-sagittiform marks resembling
