  black, 
  with 
  

   two 
  bands 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  shading 
  into

  interrupted 
  by 
  a 
  short 
  black 
  line 
  running 
  up 
  the

   nervure 
  ; 
  and

  more 
  widely 
  interrupted

  is 
  interrupted 
  by 
  

   two 
  black 
  stripes, 
  and 
  its 
  outer 
  portion 
  between 
  the 
  lowest 
  median 
  nervule 
  and 
  

   the 
  submedian 
  nervure 
  is 
  edged

  about 
  seven 
  more 
  white

  two 
  

   rather 
  irregular

  an

  with 
  a 
  very 
  broad

  the 
  third

  much 
  resemblance 
  to 
  several

   in 
  colour 
  and
