 spots near the margin in the second median and lower discoidal 

 interspaces, the latter the larger. Hind wings with the tail

 submarginal dots in the first three interspaces ; brown, 

 mottled and striated with dark brown and with ochreous grey, 

 the latter colour predominating on the upper portion of fore 

 wings, and costal, basal, and abdominal areas of hind wings j 

 on the fore wings the yellow-grey forms bands from the costa 

 downwards, and there are four submarginal white spots ringed 

 with brown from the apex downwards ; on the hind wings
