Underside of forewings brownish cinereous, towards costa speckled with ochreous; 

 a yellowish blotch on costa beyond central fascia, and a pale submarginal line marked 

 by yellowish dashes on the veins: hindwings brown, speckled with ochreous through-

Fweii/ings : dark grey-brown with deejier lirown markings; basal patch narrow, 

 edged by a curved line, and crossed by two fine lirown lines; central fascia with its 

 inner edge nearly vertical, its outer edge obliquely curved outwards to vein 6, then 

 vertical to below vein 4, oblique inwards to vein 2, and again vertical to inner margin ; 

 containing a dark cell-spot and three transverse lines, which are rarely distinct in 

 the S , the edges of the fascia generally deeper brown; the pale band before the 

 fascia traversed by three fine brown lines ; the pale band beyond it generally obsolete, 

 exce^jt from costa to vein 6, wliere it is sometimes white with a brown line through 

 it, but more often represented by a single fine pale line; submarginal line pale, 

 rarely distinct, slightly waved; apex of wing with a deep brown spot, preceded 

 obliquely by another between it and upper angle of central fascia; pairs of black 

 marginal spots at end of veins; fringe deep brown. 



In the ? the central fascia is crossed at middle by a paler grey-brovni sjjace.
