band gradually attenuating and ending at the upper subcostal veinlet, its inner 
edge sinuous and sometimes anteriorly dotted with black ; followed by a marginal 
more or less interrupted fine line. Underside pale fulvous or yellowish-ochreous, 
marked with dark ferruginous short streaks and spots almost throughout, those 
across the disc of both wings assuming the form of a somewhat conspicuous darker 
band, which band, on the forewing, has a pale violet streak bordering its lower 
inner end. Forewing also with the outer-discal markings forming two submarginal 
continuous ill-defined sinuous lines, between which is a series of small indistinctly- 
defined ocellate spots, the one between the upper and middle median being the most 
distinct and with a violet-speckled centre. Findwing also with the outer-discal 
markings forming two submarginal continuous ill-defined sinuous lines, between 
which is a row of very indistinctly-formed conical spots, those from the discoidal 
veinlet to the anal angle being broadest and with their shape obliterated by 
numerous bluish-violet speckles, some of these speckles being also scattered above 
the abdominal angle; outside these spots is a marginal lunular line, the lunule 
above the caudal angle being speckled with bluish-metallic scales. Thorax above 
olivescent-brown, abdomen black with a broad pale fulvous band; frontal tuft 
fulvous; palpi above blackish ; body and palpi beneath, and legs, pale yellowish- 
ochreous; antennse black, annulated with pale ochreous beneath, tip fulvous. 
Female. Upperside with all the bands as in male, but slightly broader and 
paler. Underside with the ground-colour paler ; all the markings as in male, but 
clearer and better defined. Body as in male.

Male. Upperside. Both wings with all the bands much broader and some¬ 
what paler than in wet-season form. Foreiving with the discoidal band coalescing 
at its upper and lower end with subapical and discal band, the two latter bands also 
partially coalesced, and the subapical band also with the apical streak; the lower 
outer angle of the discal band extending to the posterior angle. Eindwmg with the 
discal and submarginal band coalesced on the abdominal border; some transverse 
short slender streaks also extending from the former to the latter between their 
upper end; marginal interrupted line distinct. Underside paler and with all the 
markings less defined than in wet-season form. 
Female. Upperside with all the bands broad and coalescent, as in male, but 
with paler central areas. Underside with the ground-colour pale and the markings 
less defined, as in male.
