tooth below cell, a small inward one just below this ; also a blackish spot 

 outwardly at costa, on cell, and towards inner margin, giving the relics of 

 an outer marginal black line. Outer line with large, deep teeth inwardly, 

 at cell, and below it, these coalescing with the inner line in a whitish 

 streak ; between these, three even teeth outwardly ; submarginal line 

 whitish, scalloped, or showing only in whitish dashes at end of veins ; 

 margin with dark lunules between the veins. Hind wings ochre-fuscous, 

 darkest at margins; beneath nearly colour of hind wings, the lines of fore 

 wings faintly showing. 



There is some variation in the specimens ; in some the cross-lines 

 are less diffuse, the angles more even, and a double black discal spot 

 apparent on fore wings.
