without dots or spots. Hindwing above orange-red with blackish marginal band about 2 mm. in breadth, towards the anal angle gradually narrowing to a point, almost confluent basal dots and large discal dots, broadly separated from the basal and united into a nearly straight median transverse band, the dots in cellules 2 to 4 triangular and occupying the entire base of their cellules; the spot in 3 is thus placed much nearer to the distal margin than the others, which almost touch one another at the apex of the cell. Under surface like the upper, but much paler, particularly on the hindwing. Abyssinia.
