beyond its end; the base of the second sub-costal is rather nearer to the base of the 
first than to that of the upper discoidal; the third sub-costal is emitted about midway 
between the base of the upper discoidal and the apex of the wing ; cell more than half 
the length of the wing. Hindwing not so narrow proportionately as it is in Pithecops, 
cell considerably longer.

Imago. —Male. Upper side black, sometimes without any white on the wings ; in 
some specimens, however, there is a pale spot in the disc of the forewing, and in some 
this is white; the hind-wings are usually without markings. Female, similar to the 
males, but in many examples there is a small whitish patch in the disc of both wings. 
Underside of both sexes white. Forewing with the apex dusky brown, the ends of 
veins 10, 11 and 12 with minute black dots, a slender brown line closing the cell, a 
post-discal, transverse series of brown lunules, sub-terminal and terminal very slender 
brown lines including a row of black lunules. Hindwing with a brown line on the 
discocellulars as in the male, a sub-costal black spot beyond the middle, another smaller 
one near the abdominal margin, also beyond the middle which form the ends of a post- 
discal, curved and sinuous brown line, the sub-terminal and terminal markings as in 
the forewing ; in the female there are two and sometimes three sub-basal black spots 
in a line. Cilia of forewing dusky, of hindwing pure white.
