 wings dark fuscous, faintly mottled with white, black and brown scales, 

 the last most prominent on apical half of the wing and tending to form 

 indistinct longitudinal brown lines; black scales form small illdefined 

 spots on the cell and more prominently on costal edge just before apex; 

 cilia ochreous fuscous. Hindwings light fuscous with light ochreous 

 fuscous cilia. Abdomen fuscous with light ochreous underside. Legs dark
