 black, edged with white. Forewiiuj with a linear mark at the end of the cell, and a 

 discal series of spots ; the posterior two geminate, sometimes absent ( ~ sangra), the

 from the top is more or less oblique ; no spot inside the cell. lUndunng with four sub- 

 basal spots in a line, farther from the base than usual, and consequently nearer the 

 discal series, which consists of two spots in a line below the costa, and six spots in a 

 curve, a little farther outwards, the second of these from the lower end placed a little
