 brown, the postmedial area irrorated with whitish except towards 

 cnsta ; a black streak below base of cell ; subbasal line represented, 

 by double black stride from costa ; antemedial line double, obsoles- 

 cent on costal half, excurved in submedian interspace and bent

 black fascia from it to postmedial line ; orbicular and reniform 

 rather pale, indistinctly defined by black, the former narrow and
