subbasal line double, black filled in with whitish, from costa to 

 submedian fold, with short black streak beyond it below the cell ; 

 antemedial area suffused with red-brown and with black streak 

 above inner margin ; antemedial line double filled in with whitish', 

 angled outwards below costa, oblique from below cell to vein 1 

 where it is angled outwards, then bent inwards to inner margin ;

vein 1, the area between the lines occupied by a semicircular red- 

 brown patch not reaching costa, its upper edge excised by a semi- 

 circular yellowish patch edged with whitish and extending to just 

 below median nervure representing the orbicular and reniform ; a 

 diffused brown patch on postmedial part of costa with some pale 

 points on costa; traces of a red-brown subterminal line, excurved
