(59 c) agrees with [related] species in the transverse band of the fore- wing in the male not reaching the hindmargin, but differs in its being 6-7 mm.

in breadth and quite continuous and at veins 2 and 3 almost reaching the distal margin; the transverse band is light orange-yellow and the spots in cellules 2 and 3 are broadly conical, distally somewhat emarginate and basally rounded; the ground colour of the upper surface is blackish and the median band of the hindwing is about 10 mm.

broad in the middle, proximally rectilinear, distally somewhat excurved, its colour white-yellow above but whitish beneath; the dark marginal band is about 7 mm.

Underside : secondaries with base Indian-red, with two or three basal small spots; a median series of four, an irregular curved series of eight spots, those between veins 5 and 6 and 6 and 7 shifted outwards; postmedian band whitish, not half the width of the yellowish band above, rest of area exceedingly broadly brownish grey.
