 costa ; the line from outer fourth runs to termen beneath apex, the line from 

 costa, immediately before apex, follows termen to below middle. The ocellus is 

 above the anal angle and consists of two broken horizontal lines of gray and 

 white. Between the middle of wing and dorsum are oblique strigulse of white, 

 from the inner third to anal angle. Before this strigulation is a reddish-brown 

 patch. Cilia gray-brown, dotted with pale fuscous. In some specimens these 

 whitish lines are nearly obsolete, the entire surface of wing being a dull mottled
