 curved line, and an irregular postmedial line, which is bent inward to lower end of 

 the cell and thence descends to posterior margin near end of inner line ; the inter- 

 mediate area from the costa to the median vein pale yellow and opalescent, the 

 traversing veins being ochreous ; a brown punctiform spot in middle of cell and an 

 oblique streak at the end ; bordering the discal line is a submarginal straight row 

 of yellow oval spots, the four lower of which are very small : hindwing pale yellow 

 at the base. Cilia cinereous-brown. Body purplish-cinereous ; sides and front of 

 thorax, head, base of palpi, and legs yellowish ; a band on fore tibise, and streak
