alternated witb. white. Foreiuing with a moderately narrow reddish-ochreous 
discoidal streak extending along lower half of the cell to the middle of the disc 
above and below the upper median veinlet, being distinctly indented opposite the 
discocellular and less so at a short distance inward; a discal transverse moderately 
narrow excurved interrupted macular band, followed by a slender submarginal 
black-bordered violet-grev line which is undulated in the male and sinuous in the 
female, and by an outer marginal less-defined straigliter line. Hindwing crossed by 
a prominent broad whitish inner-discal band, which is more or less tinged with 
ochreous, and a very obscurely-defined trace of a slender reddish-brown outer-discal 
line, which is more apparent in the female, followed by an obscure submarginal 
greyish-bordered black line. Underside mottled with very dark chestnut-red, more 
densely and somewhat blackish in the female; cell-streak and discal band on fore¬
