 in some specimens pinkish grey, in some reddish yellow, irrorated

 bands, pale reddish brown ; reniform represented by a brown dot on 

 a pinkish ground ; hind wings pale pinkish testaceous, with a medial

 others the markings are very distinct ; and the brown irrorations 

 cover the outer part of the wing, giving the wing a brown colour, 

 and altogether altering the appearance of the insect.
