 reaches nearly to the dorsum, accompanied throughout on its 

 outer edge by a pinkish-ochreous line followed by steel-grey scales ; 

 a patch of steel-grey scales a little before the middle of the costa 

 scarcely reaches beyond the upper margin of the cell, and is 

 followed beyond the middle by a small pinkish-ochreous costal dot 

 connected by some steel-grey scales with an inwardly oblique 

 pinkish-ochreous line reverting towards the middle of the dorsum, 

 black-margined on its inner edge and with steel-grey scales 

 externally ; some spots of steel-grey scales lie a little above the 

 tornus, others being scattered around the termen and the inner 

 extremities of a series of pinkish ochreous spots which, to the 

 number of about seven, follow the margin of the wing at the base 

 of the costal and tenninal cilia and are separated by some dark 

 fuscous scales ; cilia subochreous along their base, outwardly with 

 two slender grey lines running through them except at the tornus
