two black strife from costa ; a black spot at base and a black fascia 

 below the cell with a white point on it ; the fascia connected with 

 a spot in cell before antemedial line, which is represented by two 

 strige from costa, an oblique striga across cell, and two striae from 

 inner margin ; claviform very large, defined by black on inner side, 

 its lower edge bent downwards to vein 1, a small black spot in its 

 extremity ; medial area black except costal and inner areas ; 

 orbicular and reniform pale green, the former rather quadrate with 

 black spot in its lower part, the latter rather constricted at middle, 

 with black point in upper part and triangular spot in lower connected 

 by a slight line ; medial line represented by black strise from costa 

 and cell ; postmedial line with two points on costa, bent outwards 

 and obsolete below costa, then double, the inner line bounding the 

 black area, the outer interrupted, oblique from vein 6 to 2, strongly 

 incurved below reniform and double at inner margin, with slight 

 oblique green streak before it above vein 1 and some black points 

 beyond it on costa ; subterminal line represented by an oblique 

 black bar from costa, some small dentate niarks at middle and 

 a large mark at vein 2 ; a terminal series of small black lunules 

 with blackish bar before them at veins 6, 5, and larger spot at 

 vein 2 ; cilia chequered white and black interrupted by a white 

 line. Hind wing whitish suffused with fuscous brown, the terminal 

 area fuscous, broad at costa, narrowing to tornus ; cilia chequered 

 fuscous and white ; the underside white with some black on costa 

 at base and apex, a slight streak in base of cell, a discoidal spot and 

 waved postmedial line showing through to upperside.

 oblique to submedian fold ; claviform defined by black, acute at 

 extremity and with streak from it to postmedial line ; orbicular 

 and reniform lai'ge irrorated with white and defined by black, 

 incompletely above, the former round, the latter with irregular 

 outer edge with small white spots on it ; medial line indistinct, 

 waved, oblique from costa to vein 2 ; postmedial line indistinctly 

 double, bent outwards below costa, then strongly dentate and 

 produced to black and white points on the veins, strongly incurved
