$. Forewing with cell-spot proximally rounded, discal spots well 

 defined. Hindwing with discal band filling outer two-fifths of cell

 defined; the spot at inner margin touches vein 2 and is confluent 

 with the black ground-colour. The discal area of the band is white 

 as in meridionalis, though more or less clouded with dark scales 

 over a short area proximally of the spots.
