by a Mack spoi in the cell partially conjoined to an oblique mark 

 below the cell each with a silvery blue bar on it, the medial band 

 constricted below the cell and produced at lower extremity ; a broad 

 oblique fulvous yellow postmedial band from below costa to below 

 vein 3 near termen with a spot below it above vein 1. and Bour 

 rather elongate spots beyond it between veins 8 and 1 ; a white 

 spot below base of costa and small subbasal patch of silvery blue 

 seales ; a rather lunulate silvery blue discoidal bar, streak on medial

 developed, the black markings on medial area reduced to two small
