 fourth interrupted in the middle, its hind part blending with the 

 pale brown tinge of the wing : hind-wings with three dark brown 

 bands ; first irregular towards the hind border, emitting an inter- 

 rupted branch towards the hind border of the first ; third apical, 

 interrupted in front ; some brown dots towards the base along the 

 subcostal region and along the hind border ; an oblique blackish 

 streak on the hind border along the post-costa and the branch of the 

 cubitus; disks of some of the areolets in the bands more or less
