Fore and hind wings crossed by a conspicuous sinuous discal band of sulphur-yellow spots, separate on fore, continuous on hind wing, and a subterminal series of similar but smaller spots, often in- complete towards apex of fore wiug. The spots of the discal band increase in size posteriorly on the fore wing, the spot in interspace 1 being the largest; on the hind wing they are subequal, but the spots in interspaces 7 and 8 are conspicuously paler, almost white. Fore wing, in addition, with a sulphur-yellow spot beyond lower apex of cell, and a costal spot obliquely beyond, traversed by veins 8 and 9. Hind wing with an outer subterminal incomplete line of sul- phur spots posteriorly, ending in a larger blue spot at the tornal angle. Underside lilacine grey; basal area with two series of broken inter- rupted black, lines ; the discal band of spots and spots beyond apex of cell on fore wing as on the upperside, but white, diffuse outwardly and margined on the inner side by short black lines. This is followed by an irregular sinuous transverse row of ochraceous spots surrounded by black shading, crossing both fore and hind wing; on the fore wing the lower spots are margined, beyond the black, with diffuse white, and on the hind wing the posterior spots are margined inwardly by white lunules. The hind wing bears in addition an inner subterminal series of white dots, an outer subterminal series of ochraceous spots lined inwardly with black, followed by a few white spots, and a posterior terminal black line.
