fuscous between these, and with a larger oblique spot in middle indicating 

 central fascia ; an irregular thick blue-leaden transverse stria beyond this, 

 furcate on costa ; between this and apical spot two pairs of white striae variably 

 developed,sometimes partially obsolete, sometimes united into a broad white 

 fascia including a thick irregular blue-leaden mark from tornus reaching half 

 across wing, and a thick upwards -oblique dark fuscous streak from middle of 

 termen ; a triangular apical spot of ferruginous-brown scales with dark fuscous 

 tips, preceded by a leaden-metallic streak : cilia leaden-grey with blackish basal 

 line, and indications of blackish bars. Hindwings with 6 and 7 stalked ;
