the wing is sparsely speckled with pale fawn, a few dark scales causing a deeper shade below the fold ; 
before the middie is a fawn-brown dorsal patch, sprinkled with darker scales and produced outward 
across the fold in long diffused streaks to the apex, some starting from the upper angle of the cell to 
which the suffusion extends; before the middle of the costa four or five transverse streaks appear to 
connect the narrow costal fold to the upper edge of the cell, and beyond the costal fold are five or six 
more distinct oblique streaks in a white ground, margined above and beneath by pale fawn, extending as 
far as the uncate apex ; along the termen to the tornus runs a line of pale fawn, margined above by an 
equally narrow line of dark fawn-brown; the cilia, both costal and terminal, are pale fawn, with a white 
line running along their base. Hwp. al. 26 mm. Hindwings and cilia shining, pale fawn-brownish.
