 shortly and obliquely strigulated with blackish throughout ; a 

 small blackish subquadrate oblique spot on middle of costa, 

 between which and basal patch the costa is broadly suffused with 

 dark slaty-grey, except on extreme edge ; a triangular blackish 

 space at apex, extending along apical third of costa and upper 

 half of hindmargin, shading into ground-colour towards disc, 

 intersected by two or three oblique irregular partially confluent
