 with blackish ; at one third from the apex another line, also l)lackest

 third line the wing is slightly darker. Hind wing pale grey, with 

 two strong dark lines, the first, nearest the base, straight, the second 

 curving ; hind margin darker grey, with traces of paler undulating 

 lines.

 central spot dark. Expanse of wings 38 miUim.
