 white; near base of primaries a spot on inn n- m irgiti, an ither at 

 origin of upper median nervule ; a compressed bar across cell and a 

 curved line beyond, the two partly enclosing a round fuscous spot; on 

 costa, crossing the sub-costal nervules, a long, rectangular white spot, 

 followed at a slightly obtuse angle, by four large sub-quadrate spots 

 reaching from near hind margin to a point below the cellular bar, and 

 thence by two small spots perpendicular to inner margin, the whole 

 forming a zigzag band completely crossing the wing ; on the margin 

 a series of obsolete points and spots. Secondaries have a white point 

 near base and a conspicuous m-arginal series of spots, of which the two 

 at outer angle are largest, both excavated posteriorly ; the others more 

 or less lunate; on the disk a large spot followed by three or four 

 smaller, and together with the foremost marginal spot forming a 

 straight band across the wing ; fringes fuscous and white.
