Ind. ii, 1886, p. 218; Moore, Lep. Ind. iii, ] 896-99, p. 123, pi. 238, figs. 1, la-lc? 6 2- S . Upperside brown. Fore wing : the basal half and a broad postdiscal transverse band of a darker brown than the ground- colour ; cellular area with six short transverse blackish-brown lines, in pairs, the space between each pair conspicuously paler ; two spots at base of interspace 3, and a series of slender lines above them in interspaces 4, 5 and 6, dingy white, the upper three lines broadly interrupted, their apices forming mere dots. Hind wing: basal half uniform ; a postdiscal pale blue band, broad in interspace 1, gradually narrowing to a point in interspace 5, followed by a narrow subterminal white band and a slender black terminal line. Underside pale ochraceous brown, the terminal margins of both fore and hind wing- somewhat broadly pale lilac, bounded outwardly by an anticiliary black line ; cilia white. Fore wing: a small circular loop at base of interspace 1, and five short sinuous transverse lines in cellular area black; white spots at base of interspace 3 and the streaks above them as on upperside ; the postdiscal broad brown transverse band of the upperside showing as a series of much narrower diffuse transverse spots. Hind wing with four short transverse black lines in cellular area, and slender oval black loops at base of interspaces 6 and 7. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dark ; beneath, the antennae excepted, ochraceous.— $ . Upperside paler brown than in c?, the tornus of the fore and the terminal half of the hind wing still paler. Tore wing : cellular transverse black lines as in the tf, followed by a broad, very oblique, discal white band from costa to near termen at apex of interspace 2, two pre- apical white spots and the dark brown postd
