 to dorsum; third from midcosta to tornus, narrow, interrupted 

 beneath costa, its edges irregular and nearly enclosing a spot of 

 ground-colour on posterior margin; fourth subapical, very broad 

 on costa, narrowing to a point on termen above tornus; a yellow 

 line anteriorly edged with fuscous on apex and upper part of

Distinguished from the preceding by the purple colour of fore-
