Upperside dark olive-brown; cilia cinereous (ashy grey); forewing with a small yellow semi-transparent spot at upper end of the cell, three conjoined subapical spots, two discal spots, and a small oval spot above the submedian vein. Underside dusky ochreous: forewing with the posterior area broadly black; spots as above; hindwing with a yellow lunule at end of the cell, a small spot above it and five discal spots. Size: 25–32 mm. On the underside of the hindwing, spots are obscure. On the upperside of the forewing spots on the upper edge of the cell may be absent. The male has no tuft on the underside of the forewing. Distribution This species is reported from Palni Hills, Nilgiri Hills, Meghamalai, Wayanad, Coorg, Konkan, west Khandesh, Mhow, Thana, Surat Dangs and Madhya Pradesh. Apparently being absent from the heavier jungle country between Bombay and Coorg. Presumably also found in the Vindhyan rage. T. R. D. Bell stated that they are found in dry, bamboo-growing hilly country, but Wynter-Blyth found it not uncommon on the western slopes of the Nilgiris in
