l)rown ; subbasal line represented by a white striga from costa ; 

 antemedial line indistinct, white, oblique, nearly straight, confluent 

 with the orbicular, which is purplish white defined on outer side by 

 an oblique white bar connected with lower extremity of reniform, 

 which is brownish with some white in centre and with white 

 aunulus, slightly angled inwards on median nervure to the orbicular, 

 the cell between the stigmata suffused with blackish extending to 

 costa; postmedial line indistinctly double filled in with white, bent 

 outwards below costa, then minutely dentate, oblique and obso- 

 lescent below vein 4, some white points beyond it on costa; 

 subterminal line indistinct, whitish, defined on inner side by slight 

 dentate black marks except on inner half where it is almost 

 obsolete, slightly angled outwards at vein 7 and excurved at 

 middle; a terminal series of slight black points from apex to 

 vein 3. Hind wing whitish suftused with ochreous brown ; cilia
