rom the base, followed by one slightly larger, one beyond the 

 middle, which is again followed by two small and one larger,

 spots are six distinct ones and one small one, arranged as follows : 

 one above and one below the fold, before the middle of which the 

 lower one is considerably nearer to the base than the upper one ; a 

 transverse line of three beyond the middle parallel with the slightly 

 oblique apical margin ; beyond these one distinct spot below the 

 middle of the apical margin, but not touching it, and above this 

 one small one rather indistinct ; cilia shining leaden grey with a 

 bronzy tinge. Under side pale brownish fuscous. Hind wings 

 brownish fuscous, showing two pale spaces radiating from the base 

 to about half the width of the wing ; cilia white, tinged with fuscous
