All the wings dark brown. Fore wings with a band of white spots 
running outwards from the centre of the costa ; in the centre of the 
inner margin is a large white spot, and near the apex three small 
ones. All the white markings have a violet gloss. Under side : 
very like that of L. Sibylla, but duller ; central band of hind wings 
narrower and more oblique ; there is only a single row of black
