 costa, not quite reaching the dorsum, is more conspicuous than 

 some more slender similar markings beyond it ; beyond the middle 

 of the wing the markings assume a longitudinal direction, but are 

 curved and interlaced so as to form enclosed patches of the ochreous 

 ground-colour, of which the most conspicuous is an obliquely 

 placed patch at three-fourths the wing-length, its lower extremity 

 directed inwards between two greyish fuscous lines, the lower of 

 which is reduplicated, the upper one being preceded by similar 

 curved lines running between ochreous patches ; near the apex is 

 a slightly curved narrow shining whitish fascia, dark-margined on 

 each side, and at the extreme apex is a dark spot followed by a 

 curved line around the termen at the base of the whitish cilia, 

 through which runs a dark uncate streaklet. Ex2). al. 6-9 mm.
