and tips ; pectus and ventral surface of abdomen towards 
base whitish. Fore wing red-brown slightly irrorated with 
blackish, the costal edge whitish ; a slight curved white 
subbasal line from costa to vein 1 ; antemedial line white, 
acutely angled outwards below costa, then oblique and slightly 
sinuous ; yellow points hi middle of cell and on discocellulars ; 
postmedial line white, very oblique to below vein 7 where it 
is strongly angled, then inwardly oblique and sinuous and 
closely approximated to an oblique sinuous white subterminal 
line arising from a diffused patch below the costa ; a series 
of minute black spots defined on outer side by white points 
before termen ; a fine pale line at base of cilia. Hind wing 
red- brown slightly irrorated with blackish ; an oblique white 
medial line between veins 6 and 1 ; a series of minute black 
spots defined on outer side by white points before termen, 
the two spots towards tornus larger and without the white
