[...] Wings.—Clear with three distinct broad dark brown bands from the costa towards the hind margin : the first beginning at the basal cross-veins filling one-half of the basal cells and one-third of the anal cell thence disappearing ; the second is rather narrower and in exactly the middle of the wing reaching from the costa almost to the hind border but leaving a narrow clear margin ; this band [...] A moderately dark brown apical spot begins on the costa in a straight line with the fork of the third longtudinal vein extends thence to the tip of the wing and posteriorly until it fills half the first posterior cell also the whole of the second posterior cell and then by bending slightly outwards the greater part of the third posterior cell. [...] A brown streak also begins at the inner cross-vein passes over the basal part of the discal cell passes longitudinally through the fourth posterior cell nearly filling it and spreading over part of the fifth posterior cell also ; and on attaining the border etending each way meeting on one side the hind part of the apical spot and extending on the inner side towards the anal lobe of the
