 the hind angle. Base, costa and apex dusted with black, and a 

 small linear basal spot below median. A faint black spot in 

 middle of cell and sometimes a blackish dusting at end of cell 

 on discocellulars. A little beyond end of cell two faint black 

 spots in 4 and 5, and sometimes a third nearer to cell in 3. Just 

 below median in 2 a faint spot, and one in lb rather nearer 

 margin. These spots are very variable in intensity. 



H.-w. rosy red (brick red in old examples) dusted with black
