 base of wing. On the secondaries the arrangement of Hack

 except that there are only two black dots and the discal spot 

 between tlie central series and the base of the wincc- Frinjjes 

 pinky grey. Under surface whitish ; discal spot on all the 

 wings black, larger than above and followed by a transverse 

 series of short black dashes on the nervules ; two outer series 

 of dots as on upperside, but those of primaries obscured by 

 a band of grey.
