ochreous-brown streak along inner-margin from base to anal 

 angle, posteriorly attenuated, containing some blackish scales on 

 inner margin ; this streak is margined above by a blackish streak, 

 commencing at base as a slender line and dilating gradually to 

 anal angle, where it is as broad as the inner-marginal streak in 

 middle, thence continued along hind-margin to apex, its upper 

 edge obtusely dilated about middle of hind-margin, produced into 

 apical cilia as a short straight projecting bar ; base of costa 

 slenderly blackish ; a small cloudy subcostal blackish spot before 

 middle ; two slender blackish oblique streaks from costa, first 

 beyond middle, very short, nearly obsolete, second midway 

 between first and apex, longer, its apex confluent with the hind-

 obscure lines round it fuscous.
