in middle, oblique outward from before one-third costa, sharply 

 angulated subcostally near the cellspot, then approximately vertical 

 to just beyond one-third hind margin, but angulated outward on fold ; 

 cellspot rather large (over 1 mm. in diameter), round, followed 

 posteriorly by a vague brownish patch ; postmedian line thick, at 

 about two-thirds, rather deeply inbent and thickened between the 

 radials, lobed outward at E 3 — M 1 , then gradually receding to behind 

 M 2 , so as to suggest a long shallow curve inward between M 1 and 

 SM 2 ; terminal dark line slight, interrupted ; fringe concolorous, 

 distally rather paler.

 at the radials slighter than the posterior one ; faint indications of 

 a thinner line beyond. 



Underside similar, but with the fore wing darker especially 

 proximally, its first line wanting, a whitish hind-marginal patch 

 developed opposite the cellspot.
