an oblique striga from costa ; antemedial line indistinct, slightly 

 angled outwards below costa, oblique to submedian fold, then angled 

 inwards on vein 1 ; claviform moderate, defined by black, acute at 

 ■extremity ; orbicular and reniform defined by black, strongly below, 

 the former oblique, emitting a streak from lower extremity confluent 

 with the latter which is produced to a point above and emits a grey 

 and black streak from its lower extremity, an oblique black striga 

 from costa above it ; postmedial line nearly obsolete, oblique from 

 costa to vein 7, then highly dentate, oblique below vein 4; 

 subterminal line almost obsolete, defined above middle and in sub- 

 median interspace by a brown shade on its inner side, excurved 

 below costa and at middle and angled inwards in discal and 

 submedian folds, with slight black streaks beyond it above veins 7, 

 6, 5, 4 and longer streaks above and below submedian fold some 

 slight points on termen towards apex and streak in submedian fold with 

 point beyond it on cilia ; a fine pale line at base of cilia. Hind 

 wing fascous brown, the interspaces of basal and inner areas rather
