coppery-yellow longitudinal streak along basal half of fold, running 
parallel from middle of wing, continued to termen below apex and becoming 
bright golden; a violet-purple basal patch occupying less than 1 / 6 of wing, 
with a concave edge, lower half outwardly oblique and faintly extended 
along dorsal margin which bears numerous short transverse violet marks, 
last one maginal, in apex, which is slightly suffused with golden-orange. 
Cilia pale fuscous, opposite apex becoming golden-orange with two short 
violet subapical strigulae, along costa whitish-yellow. Hind wing pale 
greyish-fuscous with a bronze gloss, cilia light fuscous. 
Ostium, a small and short subcylindrical tube. Anapophyses gently 
sinuate. Signa slender, sickle-shaped, with abruptly dilated moderate

Sigi Camp, 1500 m, February 26, 1939. One specimen. Very near to
