 crossing cell to median ; the discal lines are continued across secondaries, the 

 outer one often projecting roundly on second sub-costal nervule ; a short sinuous 

 line at anal angle ; on middle of hind margin a large sub-oval patch, the ground 

 of which is dark brown, sprinkled with whitish scales ; within this, in upper

 of silver dashes each, and in lower median a silver serration, and a bar in sub- 

 median.
