space from the median nervure and its first branch to the inner margin (except the line 
of the submedian nervure which is black), and a small double spot near the anal angle 
brick red. 
he first of the three bands crosses the cell very obliquely (uniting with the rufous 
margin), and is followed by a small spot; the second band beyond the middle is of four 
spots, the fourth apart from the vest; the third band near the apex is of four larger 
spots. Posterior wing with a horizontal band of black (deeply dentated on its outer 
edge) before the middle, the outer margin also black, with many minute points of white.
