 more or less distinctly in numerous scalloped parallel lines, a basal, extra 

 discal, and outer being more especially distinct; a scalloped marginal line, 

 black ; hind wings corresponding in colours and lines with fore wings, the 

 discal line forming a row of dentate black lunules ; beneath in general
