  two 
  black

  marked 
  

   outside

  white 
  before 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the

  stands 
  a 
  large 
  black 
  spot, 
  

   bordered 
  with 
  white 
  before 
  and 
  behind, 
  followed 
  by 
  an 
  irregular 
  series 
  of 
  about 
  

   five 
  black 
  white-bordered 
  spots 
  running 
  towards 
  the 
  anal 
  angle

  hind

  white 
  dashes

  on 
  

   the 
  basal 
  half

  several 
  large 
  black 
  spots, 
  partly 
  bordered

  two 
  irregular 
  rows.

   irregular, 
  the 
  spot 
  at 
  the 
  end

  the 
  cell

  the 
  fore 
  wings
