Isochrome female:
Body and wing markings similar to those of male,
as
described by
Fraser
(1936). The black basal half
of
wings has its outer border rather markedly convex, ending at hind margin of wings at the level of node, but, beginning at the costal border
2-3
cells distal to that
level
. The cells at
the
costal and hind border
of
the black basal area are partly hyaline, and some of the cell middles within the black body arc paler, dark brown.
So far the female of this species was known only from the
commonly
occurring heterochromatic form.
Measurements (in mm) and nodal index of the isochromatic female: length of abdomen= 20.0; hind
wing
= 24.5; antenodals: fore
wing
= 11

; hind
wing

Distribution:
India; Ceylon; Nepal to
Indochina and Northern Thai in
the
cast.
