 grey, mottled with tawny brown. Fore wings leaden grey, 

 mixed with some whitish scales and transversely streaked 

 and banded with umber-brown to two-thirds their length, 

 the apical third white, slightly shaded with grey, and having 

 numerous short black lines running longitudinally through it; 

 the brown transverse streaking is somewhat plentiful on the 

 basal third, at the outer edge of which a thicker band, much 

 sinuated outwardly, forms the oblique margin of a basal 

 patch in which the grey ground-colour of the wing is much 

 mixed ; scarcely beyond the middle is a broader band of 

 brown, much widened beneath the costa, but again narrowed 

 towards the dorsum, this is bounded on each side by leaden 

 grey ; beyond it there are five pairs of geminated oblique 

 white streaklets along the costa, the space about their ends 

 being tinged with chestnut-brown, through which one or two 

 leaden grey lines are visible ; a minute black dot lies within 

 the chestnut-brown apex ; the white outer third of the wing 

 possesses a row of short black dashes towards its inner edge, 

 and a curved row of similar dashes above it reaching to the 

 middle of the termen, and some shining silvery grey scales, 

 set in a sprinkling of grey and brown scaling, lie on the 

 white space above the tornus ; cilia white at the tornus, with 

 a slender greyish line running through them above to the 

 apex and a dark line along their base on the upper half of
