of costa to inner margin, preceded towards inner margin by a faint burnt sienna shade; a quadrate hyaline spot 
on outer edge of discocellular, cut by vein 5; outer line fuscous, outbent from costa somewhat broken, angled 
below vein 8, black and inbent, more heavily marked, followed by chestnut shading and a diffuse narrow dark 
incurved shade limiting the greyer termen. Hindwing: the line postmedial, black, straight, followed by brazil 
red expanding to anal angle. Wings below brownish mouse grey irrorated with black. Forewing: cell and

B-shaped, with darker scaling on either side. Hindwing: hyaline spot B-shaped on each side of a dark line on

inner margin at one-third from base; a B-shaped hyaline spot at discocellular with hair brown shading out¬ 
wardly; postmedial line from a black spot on costa, very faint beyond cell, forming a lunule between veins 4 
and 3 followed by a small hair brown spot, slightly incurved at vein 3 and then vertical. Hindwing vinaceous
