the middle nearly to the apex, with five dark brown spots on the costal margin (the first four quite small, 
the fifth in the form of an elongated streak), the outer spot joined by a waved pale-coloured line bordered 
with black on the inner edge, and three indistinct waved lines crossing from near the costal margin to the 
inner margin, between the middle and the base; secondaries dark greyish-brown, palest at the base and

margin, and then gradually becoming narrower till it reaches the inner margin near the anal angle), an 
indistinct narrow white zigzag line on the outer edge of the second band; secondaries bright reddish- 
brown, lightest near the base, with a very indistinct line on the anal angle; underside uniform reddish- 
brown, crossed by dark lines indicating the dark bands on the upperside: head, thorax, and abdomen
