 with ochreous on anterior border and smoky diffusion on posterior 

 border ; two ochreous dots near base and a Vjlack dot at f of vein 

 6, a series of black dots along vein 2, in some specimens a smoky 

 diffusion at apex, with a black patch against -ith band .^nd diffused 

 patches along same band near inner margin; a lighter space beyond 

 this leaves a lunular-shaped hindmarginal dark fascia ; the ^ 

 almost without markings except the fourth band which is more 

 ochreous or fuscous, and the veins which are ochreous ; a hind- 

 marginal row of black dots : cilia ochreous-fuscous. Hind wings 

 as forewings, with a black fascia at ^, and a broad diffused smoky
