 little narrowing towards the inner margin. Hind wings with a 

 forked black discal line, which is white-margined towards hind 

 margin ; marginal line white, very pure from anal angle of hind 

 wings upwards till vein 2 of fore wings, from thence more sordid 

 till the somewhat paler apex of fore wings. Fringes grey, with a 

 black basal and a slender white discal line. Under side paler, pure 

 grey; four discal spots, and an angular discal line darker. Legs
