Foren-iiiifii : ])ink. with faintly darker strigulations, and a few scattered dark 

 atoms ; costa minutely dotted with dark fuscous ; first line very obscure, denoted 

 by whitish dots on veins ; cell-spot minute, black ; outer line from costa close to 

 apex to inner margin at two-thirds, slightly darker, but marked sometimes In- 

 distinct wliite spots on veins, followed ou inner margin by a blackish spot : marginal 

 area more dusted with dark scales, and deepening in colour towards the fringe ; a 

 very faint deuticnlate line just before the margin, marked by pale vein-dots : fringe 

 deep pink.
