Expanse about 38 mm. Sepia black with white markings. F.-w. 
with a white mark in cell sometimes clavate extending from near 
base, widening and curving over downwards and outwards to end of 
cell, sometimes divided into two, the basal part remaining only as 
a dot. On inner margin a white mark in la and 1b, the marginal 
part rather wide and the inner edge forming a continuous straight 
line with that of h.-w. discal band. A large continuous white 
discal band from 2 to 9, its outer and inner edges regularly curved, 
proximally concave, distally convex. Beyond this a pale line, 
faint or well developed, followed by a narrow white line which is 
usually expanded into a spot near apex. Two delicate submarginal 
lines, more or less interrupted in area 3, especially beneath. 
H.-w. with a broad discal band about 5 mm. wide, both edges 
rather straight, and nearly parallel, extending from inner margin 
to 6, this followed by a pale line and three submarginal lines. 
Underside. The clavate mark in f.-w. cell better developed than 
above, and sometimes with a faint pale transverse line beyond it. 
Base at costa faintly white. Other marks as above but marginal 
pattern whiter, and interruption of lines more obvious in 3, and 
often in 6, 
H.-w. with a conspicuous curved white band at base of costa, 
extending to middle of same, followed by two narrow lines, the 
lower rather longer than the upper. Other markings as above but 
marginal lines more developed. ;
