orange posteriorly, becoming pale yellow towards middle of costa and 
towards dorsum before tornus; costal edge suffused with dark fuscous to 
4 / 5 ; basal fifth of wing irregularly suffused with fuscous, which colour tends 
to form moderate spots; five transverse moderate fasciae from about 1 / 5 
of wing to well before apex, leaden-metallic, edged with dark fuscous, 
these edges well-defined but rather irregular; three anterior fasciae out- 
wardly oblique and tolerably parallel along upper half, first one very faint, 
angulate in middle, thence running inwardly oblique to 1 / 3 of dorsum; 
second fascia angulate above middle, thence vertical, slightly outwards- 
convex, to 3 / 5 of dorsum ; third fascia moderately bent above middle, from 
middle of costa to tornus, its posterior dark edge triangularly dilated 
towards costa; fourth fascia tolerably straight, from 3 / 4 of costa towards 
tornus, its extremity reaching vein 3 and almost touching preceding fascia, 
its anterior dark edge triangularly dilated towards costa; fifth fascia 
tolerably parallel and rather approximated to the preceding as far as 
vein 5, thence converging and touching fourth line on vein 3 ; dorsal half 
of wing between first and second fasciae suflusedly retinate with fuscous ; 
a terminal series of rather black dots on veins 8 — 2 and one above tornus, 
those on veins 7 and 6 largest, elongate, on vein 8 a small elongate one, 
other moderate, rounded. Cilia shining iridescent rather light fuscous, a 
broad antemedian dark fuscous fascia. Hind wing deep brown-bronze, 
glossy. Cilia paler brown-bronze, anterior half deep lilac-ferruginous.
