complete or interrupted fascie#, and a discal spot ; extreme 
basal portion of inner margin yellow; first fascia from base of

thence dilated to inner-margin, where it contracts abruptly ; 
second from costa at one-fourth obliquely outwards, angled 
inwards in disc, and abruptly interrupted at fold, where it 
sometimes anastomoses with first, thence it is continued by a 
yellow spot on fold, and a second spot obliquely beyond this 
on inner-margin beyond middle ; third from middle of costa to 
anal angle, sometimes entire, sometimes twice interrupted ; 
fourth broad on costa at four-fifths rapidly narrowing to a 
point just beyond anal angle; a yellow spot in disc between 
second and third fasciz ; hindmargin edged with dark-fuscous ; 
cilia on costa first yellow, then dark-fuscous, beyond apex 
ochreous, towards anal angle bases crimson-red, apical halves
