striga, the inner line incurved and the outer line excurved below the cell ; 

 postmedial line rufous, double towards costa, excurved to vein 3, then in- 

 curved ; subterminal line rufous, incurved, from costa to vein 3, a rufous 

 terminal line ; cilia with a slight rufous line at middle. Hindwing semi- 

 hyaline white ; a double rufous medial line arising below costa, obliquely-

The Muscat specimen has the subterminal line of forewing continued to 

 inner margin and closely approximated to the postmedial line ; the post-

 stronger and the cilia of forewing tinged with rufous at apex and middle.
