Fore icing with areole moderate or rather long, rather 

 narrow, all the subcostals stalked from its apex ; mostly 

 walnut-brown, with fine white irroration ; base of costa 

 blackish, the white scaling strong in the rest of the proximal 

 area, developing into an ill-defined white line at the edge of 

 the median area, which runs very obliquely outwards from 

 costa, is acutely angulated subcostally, and then very oblique 

 inwards to hind margin; median area very broad, costally 

 mixed with white, its edges slightly darkened; an indistinct 

 dark cell-mark and traces of a dark median line near to and 

 parallel with the antemedian, but not angulated subcostally, 

 touching the cell-mark ; a very irregular white line distally 

 to the median area, angulated at R 1 , slightly sinuate inwards 

 between R 1 and R 3 , very near the termen between R 3 and M 3 , 

 rather deeply sinuate inwards between M 2 and SM 2 , again 

 angulated on SM 2 ; a white subapical and slighter central 

 suffusion distally ; a white line close to termen, slightly 

 receding therefrom at costa; a dark terminal line; fringe 

 whitish brown or almost white, with darker and redder spots 

 opposite the veins. 



Hind wing with SC 2 and R 1 quite shortly stalked ; red 

 nearly to base ; two white distal lines corresponding to those 

 of fore wing ; terminal line and fringe as on fore wing.
