" I'ore leys of tho male with the femur scaly ; the tibia except at the base, aud the tarsus, 
densely clothed with very long hairs, femur longer than the tibia, tibia and tarsus equal iu 
length, the former slenderer at the base than at the apex, the latter cylindrio, scarcely 
curved, rounded at the base aud apex. Of the female with the femur, tibia, and tarsus 
scaly, and furnished with long delicate hairs, least numerous on the tarsus ; tibia much shorter 
than the femur, equal in length to the tarsus ; tarsus four-jointed, the first joint cylindrio, 
spiny below, the spines small, the apex unarmed, second joint about one fourth the length 
of the first, armed with a few small spines below, and two stronger ones at the apex, 
third and fourth joints combined scarcely longer than the second, both armed with two 
spines at the apex, those of the fourth having a tuft of hair at the base. 
" Middle and hind Tegs with the tibise and tarsi of equal length, shorter than the femora, which 
are rather short ; tibia spiny within except at the base, the spines short, slender, arranged 
in two nearly regular series ; tarsi spiny below and at tho sides, except the fifth joint, 
which wants the lateral series of spines ; spines of the lower surface in two somewhat 
regular series; first joint longer than the rest combined, second joint less than one third 
the length of the first, third joint rather more than half the length of the second, longer 
than the fourth, fifth joint longer than the second ; claws short, curved, grooved below ; 
paronychia bilaciniate, outer lacinia slender, pointed, as long as the claw, inner lacinia 
shorter, slender, pointed ; pulvillus jointed, shorter than the claws." {Dmibhdai/, I. c.)

" Male. Upperside : both wings black, with pale fulvous markings. Fore wing with a broad 
discoidal streak, its upper edge indented before and at the end of the cell, its lower edge 
irregular, extending beyond aud below the cell ; a subapical oblique streak, often divided 
into two portions, the lower the smaller, sometimes coalescing with the discoidal streak, with 
a small spot beyond ; a broad oblique discal band from the second median interspace to the 
inner margin. Hind wing with the discal band in continuation of that on the fore wing, 
suddenly widening out at the abdominal fold, a broad patch on the costa between the termi- 
nation of the discal band and the base of the wing, a submarginal broad band gradually 
attenuating to the outer angle, a fine marginal more or less interrupted line. Underside : 
both wings pale fulvous, marked with dark ferruginous short streaks and spots almost 
throughout, which assume the form of a somewhat conspicuous discal band, with a small 
violet spot placed outwardly against it in the second median interspace, and another within it 
in the submedian interspace of the fore wing. Hind wing more or less irrorated with pale 
violet on the abdominal margin and towards the anal angle, some bluish metallic submarginal 
lunules from the discoidal nervule to the anal angle, most distinct in the second median 
interspace. 
" Female larger, all the markings larger and paler, as is also the ground-colour of the under 
surface, where aU the markings are clearer and better defined." (de Niceviile, I. c.)
