 on veins 2-5. A second faint curved line about 2 mm. beyond, 

 darker on costa and ending just perceptibly on vein 2. A sub- 

 marginal row of dots on the veins. Hindwing paler; cell closed 

 by a well-marked discocellular spot ; some submarginal spots which 

 are faint at the apex and well-marked posteriorly.

 costa near base, a thin streak on costa at end of cell, a large black 

 subapical costal spot, a small apical spot and two below it. An 

 ill-defined narrow oblique band almost joined to the subcostal spot 

 and ending faintly on vein 2. Hindwing with a streak in the cell, 

 a discocellular spot, a costal streak above it, and submarginal spots 

 better defined than above.

 base on inside. Abdomen yellowish above, fuscous below ; a black 

 dorsal stripe and two lateral rows of black spots on ventral segments.

 the absence of the broad dark stripe on thorax and by 

 having a dorsal stripe on abdomen instead of a row of 

 spots.
