costa and overspreading the middle of the wing; the hindwings are whitish, with 
greyish fuscous reticulations towards the apex, and a series of black points at the base 
of the cilia. The 2 varies considerably in the development of transverse fuscous 
reticulations, or strigulae, on the forewings.
