 the scales of the spots somewhat raised and occur as follows: Base broadly metallic, 

 from costa to dorsum, outer edge inwardly curved. Fascia at inner third nearly 

 straight, not wider on dorsal than costal margin, constricted at fold, and nearly 

 separated into two spots of about equal size. Dorsal dash at outer third narrow, 

 oblique outwardly to middle of wing, the metallic scales overspread the cilia, equalling 

 in size and shape the spot on wing. Costal dash at apical fourth, obliquely inward 

 to cell, thin angulated outward to anal angle, where it expands into a triangular 

 blotch, roughly shaped like the letter S. Hind wings and cilia of both gray brown, 

 not metallic.
