each side beneath lying above abdomen. Abdomen light grey, two 

 basal segments pale bronzy-ochreous. Porewings narrow-lanceolate, 

 apex acutely produced ; bronzy-brown ; very fine white lines as 

 follows, viz., one sinuate oblique from beneath base of costa to 

 ^, one short longitudinal from beneath apex of this, one just 

 beneath costa from near base to apical patch, one slightly oblique 

 longitudinal above middle from | to apical patch, with a short 

 inwardly-oblique downwards-recurrent line from its apex, one 

 along fold uot reaching apical patch and moderately interrupted in 

 middle, one along dorsum from base to beyond middle, and a very 

 short mark beneath fold beyond interruption ; a pale ochreous- 

 yellowish patch occupying | of wing, marked on costa anteriorly 

 with two short black whitish-edged transverse marks, costal edge 

 sometimes brown between these, and at tornal angle with a small

 yellowish, towards tornus tinged with grey. Hindwings grey ; 

 cilia light grey, towards apex of wing more or less tinged with 

 whitish-yellowish.

 Differs from the preceding and following species in having the

 one sinuate oblique from beneath base of costa to |, one just 

 beneath costa from near base to first costal mark, a third slightly 

 oblique longitudinal above middle from ^ to tornal patch, one from 

 beneath apex of first curved downwards along fold and thence to 

 join apex of third, one along fold from base to |, and one along 

 dorsum from base to beyond middle ; a pale ochreous-yellowish 

 blotch on tornus, anteriorly margined by a silvery- metallic mark 

 whose apex is followed by a black dot, above receiving two black 

 white-margined marks from costa, and posteriorly extended as an

 cilia pale greyish, becoming whitish-yellowish towards apex of 

 wing,

 it into a single curved line.
