 exposed. Thorax pale brownish grey or whitish ochreous.

 sometimes showing on its upperside ; several small flecks of 

 slightly raised blackish scales are scattered about the wing- 

 surface, especially at the basal fourth and about the apex of 

 the costal triangle, and there are also some blackish dots on 

 the apical fourth ; the costal patch is generally mottled with 

 greyish fuscous ; cilia pale reddi.<h brown, ochreous, or 

 whitish ochreous, sometimes with a slight shade along their

 the middle of the wing ; two distinct, straight, slender, oblique 

 lines cioss the wing, pointing outwards from the costa to the 

 dorsum; the tirst leaving the costa at one-thiid from the base 

 reaches the dorsum at nearly two-thirds from the base, and is
