 obscure, white dashes ending in bluish metallic scales but not fusing 

 with the dorsal patch; on costa beyond middle three pair of short 

 white streaks (repeated upon under surface of wing), and continued 

 in bluish metallic streaks to the vertical bars of ocelloid patch, the

 ocelloid patch consisting of two vertical metallic bars inclosing five 

 or six longitudinal black lines interspaced with oclierous fuscous 

 scaling; termen narrowly bordered with ocherous fuscous; cilia
