whitish bands. Fore wing broadly ovate, pointed. Glossy pale leaden, 
finely irrorated with fuscous (posterior halves of scales being fuscous). 
Markings deep yellow broadly edged with dull dark coffee-brown. Ill- 
defined narrow yellow suffusion from costa except extreme edge to dorsum ; 
a rounded yellow spot on costa beyond base and a small longitudinal mark 
opposite this above dorsum; two inwardly oblique, outwardly curved, 
tolerably parallel transverse fasciae : from 2 / 3 and 3 / s of costa to dorsum at 
1 / i and beyond a / 2 of wing, respectively, both somewhat dilated on costa, 
first one interrupted in fold, considerably dilated and projecting anteriorly 
from below fold to dorsum, second fascia hardly dilated on dorsum, rather 
mixed with dark brown along its third fourth ; a slightly undulate moderate 
submarginal fascia from costa before apex to above tornus, along lower 
part of termen extending to edge of wing. Cilia pale glossy yellowish - 
leaden, from apex to termen with a deep purplish-brassy apical band, 
quickly becoming broader towards tornus and extended over entire length 
of cilia there; an ill -defined interrupted dark brown antemedian band;
