 patches ; basal half of wing with velvety black transverse striae between the 

 veins, coalescing into a blotch between median and snbmediau veins : an oblique

 below subcostal vein ; between the veins this bar is marked by yellowish white 

 horizontal streaks, and beyond cell by a round white spot which nearly interrupts 

 it ; at three-fonrths of inner margin another black bar reaching vein 4; before the 

 anal angle a series of black spots, separated by the pale veins and above vein 2 

 becoming bifid, reaching as far as vein 6; apical area filled with fine transverse brown 

 y-shaped streaks between the veins ; marginal area tinged with rosy ; marginal 

 line diffuse, bright rosy, with black spots at the vein-ends, running out through 

 the pale yellow fringe.
