 indistinct rather oblique lines, the first straight, from about one-third

 shade sinuous, obsolescent. 



Hind wing coloured nearly as in obsolescens, but with the fuscous 

 shade broader and rather darker. 



Underside of both wings rather more yellow than in obsolescejis, 

 with the red tones brighter, slightly more extended, especially on the
