irregular spot ; just beyond fascia, a small vitreous spot 

 marking junction of first and second median nervules, and a 

 transverse row of suffused blackish-brown spots from the 

 former nervule to sub-median nervure ; on costa, between 

 fascia and apex, an oblique vitreous marking crossed by 

 four nervules, and followed by some brownish - black 

 clouding- ; a sub-marginal brownish fascia, to which succeeds 

 the rather narrow, but even, pale hind-marginal border. 

 Hind-wing: dark basal region well defined; a broad, 

 central, sub-diaphanous fascia, marked by a double grey 

 streak at end of cell, and outwardly by a fascia of ground- 

 colour (of which a small portion forms a spot near costa) ; 

 ground beyond this slightly tinged with ferruginous ; 

 border as in fore-wing, but paler. Under-side. — Fore- 

 wing : dingy yelloioish-ivhitish ; vitreous marks brownish- 

 edged ; a pale-ferruginous spot close to apex, and a suffused 

 stain of that colour at anal angle. Hind-ioing : yellowish- 

 white ; a sub-marginal, suffused brownish fascia, before 

 which are some thin, very indistinct brownish lineolae.

Semi-transparent creamy -white, with vitreous hands and 

 spots : base in both wings, and apical region of fore-wing, 

 ferruginous-ochreous. Fore-iving : basal ochreous rather 

 broad, well-defined, irrorated with fuscous atoms; touching 

 it, in discoidal cell a sub-vitreous spot, separated by a 

 fuscous-ochrcous line from a sub-vitreous band of three 

 contiguous spots between sub-costal and sub-median 

 nervures ; a broad median vitreous band of six spots (of 

 which the two costal are suli-linear, the two central large 

 and sub-quadrate, and the two lower small and irregular in 

 shape) extends from costa to sub-median and is edged 

 internally by a thin fuscous-ochreous line, and externally 

 by the fuscous-ochreous of apical patch, which encloses a 

 small, round, vitreous spot between first and second median 

 nervules ; colouring nearer apex itself pale-ferruginous, 

 enclosing a short vitreous streak of four spots, on costa, and
