 oval discal patch of the fore wing ijrolongcd into a band 

 whicli reaches the costal margin (except for a brown line 

 along tiie costal margin itself) and also reaches SM^, some- 

 times continuing to the hind margin. This band varies in 

 width and exact shapo, but may always be characterized as 

 sinuous-edged proximally, projecting in middle distally, and 

 more or less attenuated posteriorly. Proximal hind-marginal 

 white patch of fore wing reduced or almost wanting, proximal 

 white spot in cell occasionally (as also in other races) minute 

 or obsolete.
