 both wings from just below the apex of the primaries to the anal angle of the J 

 secondaries ; this line is faintly bordered outwardly with yellowish. On the j 

 costal margin of the primaries about two-thirds from the base a small cluster I 

 of black scales. A very small crescent-shaped transparent spot at the end of 1 

 the cell on the primaries, and a small black spot on the cell of the seconda- , 

 ries. Underneath paler, with the markings of the upperside repeated, but ■ 

 the transverse band is very indistinct on the secondaries, and at its upper j 

 extremity on the primaries it turns abruptly inwards to the costal margin, 

 forming an acute angle. Head, thorax and abdomen fawn color speckled
