  the

  of 
  the

  with 
  a 
  grey 
  line 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the

  and 
  three 
  dark 
  grey 
  

   lines 
  across 
  the 
  disc, 
  the 
  outermost 
  being 
  on 
  the 
  margin 
  and 
  the 
  two 
  inner 
  ones 
  

   being 
  sinuate, 
  with 
  the 
  spaces 
  between 
  rather 
  paler 
  than 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  ; 
  

   in 
  the 
  interspaces 
  between 
  the 
  veins 
  near 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  is 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  

   hastate 
  dark 
  grey 
  markings. 
  The 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  likewise 
  crossed 
  by 
  three 
  

   dark 
  grey 
  lines, 
  with 
  the 
  interspaces 
  paler 
  than 
  the 
  basal 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  ; 
  

   the 
  outer 
  line 
  on 
  the 
  margin 
  very 
  narrow, 
  the 
  middle 
  line 
  very 
  deeply 
  indented 
  

   inwardly, 
  and 
  the 
  third 
  line 
  very 
  sinuate 
  ; 
  between 
  the 
  two 
  outer 
  lines 
  is 
  a 
  row 
  

   of 
  spots 
  resembling 
  an 
  inverted 
  T 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  fourth 
  irregular 
  line 
  crossing 
  the 
  

   wings 
  a 
  little 
  beyond 
  the 
  cell 
  and 
  curving 
  round 
  it 
  ; 
  two 
  spots 
  and 
  a 
  streak 
  in 
  

   the 
  cell 
  ; 
  one 
  spot

  three 
  spots

  greyish-black, 
  with 
  a

  wings 
  longitudinally, 
  and 
  extending 
  narrowly 
  along 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  

   of 
  the 
  cell, 
  thence 
  widening 
  over 
  the 
  middle 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  disc, 
  with 
  an 
  irroration 
  

   of 
  blue 
  scales 
  below 
  the 
  cell. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  dark 
  grey,

  the 
  apex, 
  cilia 
  of 
  both 
  

   wings 
  grey, 
  which 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  crossed
