 base, and another on subniedian fold at ^ ; three transverse series 

 of obscure marks formed by a blackish irroration ; first straight, 

 from J of costa to J of inner margin ; second from middle of 

 costa very obliquely outwards to J of disc, thence sharply angulated 

 and continued to middle of inner margin, crossing first on fold ; 

 third from 4 of costa very obliquely outwards to near apex, thence 

 curved round near hindmargin to anal angle : cilia grey-whitish, 

 basal half barred with fuscous. Hindwirigs grey, somewhat
