almost reaching M just proximal to the hinder angle of cell ; 
proximally to these, two much smaller round white spots, 
the anterior (indicated, though minuter and less conspicuous, 
in splendens) placed in the cell near its end, the posterior 
(larger and slightly more proximal) in the angle of M with 
M?; white inner median area clearer than in splendens, its 
anterior extension prolonged, almost confluent with the 
reniform ; terminal area as in splendens. 
Hind wing almost entirely glossy white, only with the 
hair-scales and fringe of abdominal margin light brown, 
and with a row of dark vein-dots slightly nearer the termen 
than those of splendens ; a blackish terminal line, thickening

Fore wing beneath similar to that of splendens, but lighter.
