above the discoidal spot, an outwardly oblique spot below it a little on the inner side, 



and a rather longish spot in the next hindward interspace below the middle cell spot, 



a discal band of seven conjoined spots, straight down the wing, but somewhat sinuous, 



the uppermost spot small, the fourth pushed a little outwards, the fifth and sixth 



somewhat lunular, the sixth the largest, the seventh small and indications of another 



attached spot below it ; a sub-marginal complete band of conjoined spots. Hindwwg 



with four sub-basal spots, the third a little outwards, the fourth well inwards, near the
