 just distally of lower angle of cell, somewhat incurved behind M', thin in front, 

 ending in a costal dot ; parallel with this line a row of dots, the costal dot being 

 situated halfway between first line and apex ; a marginal spot below tip of wing, 

 produced discad into an oblique line ; a heavy marginal double spot M' — SM- ; all 



these lines and spots deep brown. Hindwing : a carved line and a row of dots 



on disc ; distal margin brown.
