 distance between the spot and the posterior margin, runs, curved outwards, a distinct 

 irregular band from the costa to just beyond the middle of the inner margin, and 

 beyond that a marginal row of elongated lunules, curved inwards. Secondaries with 

 three distinct irregular bands, the 1st as referred to above, the 2nd and 3rd at about
