brown, fuscous in front ; beneath whitish. Foreleg red- brown above and 
on inner side, marked with fuscous ; legs otherwise pale. Abdomen 
whitish, dorsally and at base red-brown and black, also with two or three 
dorsal spots and some slight irroration of the same colours. 
Wings shaped nearly as in the other African species ( batesii Wallgrn. 
= costa Warr. ; inter rupta Warr.) ; forewing with apex slightly more 
acute, termen slightly more oblique. Wings white, forewing with costal 
edge black, interrupted by pale ochreous spots. Forewing with red-brown 
basal and costal area, the posterior boundary of this shade starting from 
posterior margin near base and running very obliquely, almost regularly, 
to costa just before postmedian line ; cell-spot black, touching, but not 
placed within, the costal shade ; postmedian line from just beyond two- 
thirds costa, nearly parallel with termen. faintly excurved anteriorly, then 
faintly incurved ; followed by an ornamental band about 2 mm. broad, 
brown, traversed centrally by a greyer shade and containing a series of 
black, distallv white-margined spots ; terminal area irregularly and weakly 
clouded and spotted with brown, leaving a narrow clear space between 
this and the postmedian band ; termen with large black spots between 
the veins ; fringe white, from SC 4 to R 3 brown, posteriorly somewhat 
spotted with brown at the vein -ends. Hind wing with very small dark 
basal patch and minute discal dot ; postmedian band and terminal area 
as in forewing, the postmedian almost straight, rather wider in middle than at 
margins, the contained mark on radial fold larger and more conspicuous 
than the others, its white boundary being in its turn bounded by a dark 
mark, which almost encroaches on the narrow white band beyond ; fringe 
white, between R 1 and R 3 brown. On both wings the dark markings 
bear some minute metallic scales. Under side similar, but with the 
markings duller and not quite so dark ; no metallic scales.
