 fine pale yellowish line ; a dark fuscous or blackish costal spot at j, 

 and sometimes one near base, sometimes confluent ; a thick irregular 

 dentate dark fuscous line from this spot, not reaching dorsum, 

 usually cut by a fine white line on submedian fold ; a dark fuscous 

 or blackish transverse mark in disc at §, terminating beneath in a 

 round suffused spot, and two spots on costa before middle and at § 

 separated by a white space, the whole sometimes merged into a large 

 semioval dark fuscous costal blotch reaching f across wing ; two or 

 three dark fuscous subdorsal marks ; a series of dark fuscous or 

 blackish marks from i of costa to tornus, angulated above middle, 

 where there is a larger spot, and sometimes a dark fuscous streak 

 running from discal mark through angle to termen ; a waved-dentate 

 pale terminal line, preceded by a dark fuscous shade ; cilia fuscous, 

 with a darker basal line, sometimes barred with whitish. Hind-
