chocolate-brown point in middle of cell ; reniform defined 
by red-brown, rather pointed above, its lower part forming a 
lobe running inwards above median nervure ; traces of two

them to vein 4, then strongly incurved and with white spot

vein 3 ; an oblique red -brown streak from apex to the whitish 
band beyond the postmedial lines at discal fold, with traces 
of two waved rufous subterminal lines from it to inner margin, 
excurved at middle. Hind wing deep orange ; a large black 
lunule beyond lower angle of cell between vein 4 and submedian 
fold ; a terminal black band from costa where it extends to 
near middle to submedian fold towards which it narrows, 
its inner edge bent outwards at vein 6, then curved, the cilia 
beyond it chequered black and white. Underside of fore 
wing orange, the costal area and apical area to vein 2 white 
tinged faintly with rufous, an oblique black medial band 
from below costa to submedian fold, and a broader curved
