defined, this passes and becomes darker round an ochreous discal 

 spot above median vein ; a very fine ochreous faint line beyond ^ 

 costa obliquely to opposite f costa, thence as a well-defined 

 ochreous line to ^ inner margin, denticulate in costal half and 

 bordered anteriorly by an interrupted smoky-fuscous line ; a 

 faint interrupted sinuous ochreous-fuscous line from just before 

 apex of costa to | inner margin, more distinctly ochreous and 

 forming an ochreous dot or indent opposite discal spot; hind- 

 marginal wavy black line : cilia fuscous, barred and tinted with 

 ochreous and darker fuscous. Hindvvings as forewings, with 

 median ochreous line continuous with that of forewings from h 

 costa to f inner margin, with a dark fuscous line on anterior 

 border ; an ill-defined faint line waved and dentate from f costa 

 to ^ inner margin ; a hindmarginal smoky-fuscous line ; cilia as 

 forewings.
