 broad, its inner edge sharjily angled in cell before the small concise black cell- 

 dot ; the white baud preceding it traversed by a grey line ; inner edge formed 

 of two, outer of three dark lines, plain on costa, marked in the paler inner 

 marginal half of wing by dark dashes on veins ; similarly the pale band following 

 with its central line marked by a black dash between two whitish ones ; sub- 

 marginal line very tine, dentate-lunnlate ; a blackish marginal line interrupted 

 at the veins ; fringe grey, slightly darker mottled.

 followed by an olive-grey line ; the broad interval between basal line and fascia 

 traversed by an olive-grey band ; the outer line is followed by a broad white 

 band, edged externally by a grey line parallel to outer line; marginal area

 close to and at anal angle touching the margin; the outer line in the sinus is 

 more thickly marked with black, and the submarginal grey shade with darker 

 grey beyond the cell; cell-spot black; fine black marginal dashes between the 

 veins ; fringe white.
