 small olive costal blotch beyond ; the pale ochreous ground-colour of the marginal 

 fifth is striated with olive, and shows the veins across it pink ; along vein 4 this 

 pale ground projects inwards to cell, where it is joined by an oblique pale streak 

 from before middle of costa, which is incurved from vein 5 aud runs vertically 

 to the submedian fold ; the cell-spot ochreous ; along inner margin are some fine 

 ochreous striae, and au ochreous spot at one-fourth suggests the termination of 

 an inner line; costa with fine ochreous points; the lunules of the submarginal 

 line contain externally some olive-green spots, from which streaks of green scales 

 run to the dark olive marginal line ; fringe pinkish ochreous, mottled with olive
