in the interspaces and inwards on the veins, in cell almost to base ; 

 orbicular elliptical, fuscous, its centre and circumference defined by 

 black except above, closely approximated to the reniform, which is 

 represented by a strongly curved ochreous lunule bidentate above, 

 incompletely defined by rutbiis, and with two black lines on its 

 inner side ; postmedial line I'epresented by a double series of black 

 points with traces of a highly dentate line between them, bent 

 outwards below costa, then oblique ; subterminal line ill-defined, 

 somewhat dentate, ochreous with some brown suffusion on inner 

 side, hardly traceable on the ochreous area. Hind wing ochreous
