below near extremity : antemedia] line double, dark, rather diffused, 

 the two lines widely separated on costal half, oblique, waved, bent 

 inwards to inner margin, the outer line angled outwards below 

 costa and just below median nervure ; orbicular whitish defined by 

 black, more distinctly on outer side, small, somewhat elongate 

 elliptical ; reniforra large, defined by black, with black lunule on 

 inner edge of centre with diffused brown mark beyond it ; a 

 diffused oblique brown striga from costa to reniform and traces of 

 an oblique sinuous line from lower angle of cell to inner margin at 

 antemedial line ; postmedial line double filled in with white, bent 

 outwards below costa, then dentate, excurved to vein 4, then 

 incurved, crossed by a short black streak in discal fold from just 

 before it and a longer streak in submedian fold from well before it, 

 some brown suffusion beyond it and some white points on costa ; 

 subterminal line absent : a series of small black spots on termen 

 and base of cilia, which are white, and double spot at submedian 

 fold. Hind wing whitish suffused with reddish brown, the terminal 

 area darker ; a diffused brown postmedial line excurved to vein 4, 

 then incurved and defined by whitish on outer side ; a series of 

 small blackish spots on termen and base of cilia which are white ;

 above inner margin, the outer line angled outwards below costa ; 

 orbicular and reniform defined by fuscous, the former whitish with 

 slight rufous centre, rather oblique elliptical, with a black streak 

 from it extending into the reniform which has a rufous centre : a 

 diffused oblique fuscous line from costa to reniform and traces of 

 an oblique sinuous line from lower angle of cell to inner margin
