 narrowly edged with white. Foreiolng with a small white subapical costal dentate 

 spot ; cell crossed by two more or less slightly-defined blackish slender sinuous 

 subbasal lines, two lines across the middle, each continued below the cell to 

 submedian, and two short waved lines enclosing the discocellulars ; followed by two 

 transverse iuner-discal somewhat recurved sinuous lines, a more slender medial- 

 discal sinuous line, and then an outer-discal more-defined dentated line ; between 

 the two latter lines is a row of very obscure dusky dentate speckled spots ; beyond 

 is a slender submarginal sinuous line, nindwing with the costal border greyish- 

 white ; the subcostals slightly grey lined ; cell crossed by more or less slightly-defined
