About Sarangesa purendra Moore, 1882
This is the species Sarangesa purendra, first described by Frederic Moore in 1865 (published under this name by Moore in 1882). Moore's original description of the butterfly reads as follows: The upperside of the wings is greyer than that of Sarangesa dasahara, and has paler mottled markings. The fore wing has a continuous, semidiaphanous white streak that crosses the cell near its end, plus a continuous small spot above this streak, three small conjoined spots before the apex, and three spots on the disk. The middle discal spot is large and quadrate. The cilia are alternated with grey. The underside of the wings is paler. The fore wing has the same markings as the upperside, plus an extra small white lower spot on the disk, and a basal streak below the cell. The hind wing has a small whitish spot in the middle of the cell, and a less distinct curved series of discal spots.
