base, anal angle lobed, outer margin sinuous towards the tail; a large, well defined 
glandular patch in the male, almost quadrate, but with its two upper ends a little 
rounded, placed anterior to the discoidal cell and covers the base of vein 2. The 
female has the wings broader and shorter than the male, the apex of the forewing less 
acute, the outer margin convex, not straight, the hind wing much less produced 
hindwards, the tail shorter.

Imago. —Male. Upperside dark fuliginous-brown. Forewing without markings. 
Ilindwing with the tail, anal lobe, and a small anal patch dull ochreous ; a small 
indistinct spot on the anal lobe. Underside pale ochreous-brown. Forewivg , a black 
spot at the base of the cell, a dark brown, broad, outwardly curved band with irregular 
ochreous edges, from the costal nervure to a little below the median vein, crossing the 
cell somewhat beyond its middle, with pale indications of its continuation hindwards, a 
pale brown line, edged on both sides with ochreous at the end of the cell; a dark 
brown, broad discal band, from the costa to a little below the sub-median vein, 
composed of conjoined squarish spots, the first four outwardly oblique, the others 
commencing a little inwards nearly straight down the wing, narrowing gradually 
hindwards; indications of a pale brown, sub-marginal, double series of lunular marks. 
Ilindioing with a basal blackish-brown spot, a larger one immediately below the costal 
vein, two smaller ones in a line below it, two conjoined spots closing the cell, a discal 
very irregular band, commencing from the costal vein where there is a large square 
blackish-brown spot attached to it below, half outwards is a similar spot, with a 
smaller blackish-brown spot attached to its lower side half outwards; these are followed 
by a curiously formed series of five small paler spots, the first well outside, a parallel 
pair below it and another similar pair below and inwards; then there is an indistinct 
pair below these joined on the inner side to a heart-shaped pale spot with brown edges, 
with a curving sinuous brown line attached, which bends inwards and upwards near
