 shaded grey patch, expanding between apex and central angle of outer margin ; tip 



of wing more pointed than in slidta. Hindwing: as in stidta, but brown outer 



border anteriorly narrower. 



Underside as in stulta; lines weak. Forewing with a feebly marked, narrow, 



grey-brown outer border, and without oblique apical line, the border IJ to 2 mm.
