 some whitish scales ; a small outwardly oblique blackish acute 

 triangular spot on anal angle, reaching nearly half across wing,

 between its apex and costa ; a blackish irregular very oblique 

 line from costa at three-fourths to hindmargin above middle, on 

 its lower half bordered anteriorly with dull leaden, preceded by 

 three ill-defined blackish spots; cilia grey, paler along base,
