 costa at -^ to tornal patch, with a rather short inwardly oblique 

 downwards-recurrent line from its apex nearly reaching fold, one 

 along fold from base to middle of wing, one rather short inwai'dly 

 oblique from beneath apex of this not quite reaching dorsum, 

 and one along dorsum from base to tornal patch ; a whitish- 

 ochreous tornal patch extending gradually attenuated and becoming 

 silvery- whitish along termen to apex, anteriorly edged by a silverj-- 

 metallic mark whose apex is followed by a black dot and marked
