 with white centre ; apical border pale reddish-orange, bounded 

 within by six ill-defined yellowish spots, limited by an inner series of 

 seven decreasing spots, the upper five rusty-brown, the lower two 

 black ; secondaries with a pale-centred rusty discocellular spot ; 

 seven discal spots in an irregular arched series, all rusty ; outer 

 border pale reddish orange, diffused internally ; body below creamy-

?. Altogether paler; primaries with the costa and base cinereous ;
