 large, with whitish annuli, their centres often defined b}' fuscous, 

 the former oblique elliptical, sometimes conjoined to latter in- 

 feriorly ; postmedial line indistinct, dentate, reduced to a series of 

 points on the veins or almost obsolete, excurved from costa to 

 vein 4, then incurved ; subterrainal line whitish, defined by rufous

 oblique from costa to lower angle of cell, where it. is angled ; post- 

 medial line represented bj' an indistinct excurved pale part from 

 costa to vein 6, then by a series of short black streaks on the veins 

 interrupted by white points and closely approximated to the 

 subterminal line, which is pale defined by fuscous on inner side,
