 ochreous irroration, margined laterally by two dark violet-leaden streaks, and 

 containing a series of about four short black dashes ; a pale ochreous almost 

 marginal line crossing apex : cilia fuscous, with a black basal line. Hind wings 

 subhyaline, pale fuscous, with a narrow-lanceolate clear hyaline streak beneath 

 cell, veins blackish-fuscous ; a broad suffused blackish -fuscous terminal band ;

 line from base beneath submedian fold, sinuate downwards in middle, and 

 continued to middle of termen, dorsal area beneath this more or less striated 

 or suffused with whitish except towards base of dorsum and on a triangular 

 tornal patch representing ocellus, above which are two or three black dashes ; 

 costa black obliquely strigulated with white : sometimes an irregular black 

 blotch representing upper third of central fascia, narrow on costa, with an 

 irregular black streak projecting from it posteriorly, and more or less black 

 suffusion preceding it, but these markings are sometimes wholly obsolete ; a 

 short whitish longitudinal strigula resting on termen beneath apex ; cilia 

 ochreous-whitish, sometimes with a grey subbasal line, and one or two dots of

 or less indistinctly striated transversely with leaden metallic ; dorsal area 

 beneath this sometimes striated with whiiish ; upper portion of central fascia 

 usually forming a large trapezoidal blackish blotch, narrow on costa, issuing a 

 long irregular projection posteriorly above ocellus, in ^ often little defined ;
