antemedial line formed of short dark streaks from subcostal 

 nervure to submedian fold, where it is angled, then oblique 

 to inner margin ; a streak in end of cell ; a discoidal lunule 

 conjoined by the almost confluent streaks on bases of veins 5 

 to 3 with the postmedial line, which is formed of short 

 somewhat dentate black streaks, excurved from costa to 

 vein 5, then very oblique, and ending in a curved brown 

 streak below vein 1 to the antemedial line ; a highly dentate 

 brown subterminal line angled inwards at discal and sub- 

 median folds, at former to the postmedial line, the area beyond 

 it brown except at apex ; cilia brown, with a yellowish line 

 at base. Hind wing semihyaline white, with curved post- 

 medial series of slight fuscous spots in the interspaces from 

 costa to vein 2, the underside with the costal area irrorated 

 with brown, a dark spot in upper angle of cell, the post- 

 medial series more prominent, a terminal series of black 

 points from apex to vein 2.
