upper outer end of the discoidal spot, the next four conjoined and in an outward curve,

 the seventh is curved and is well inwards and is attached to the eighth, the lower 

 portion of the series curving well inwards on to the abdominal margin ; both wings 

 with brown terminal line, a sub-terminal series of brown spots, and between them a 

 series of somewhat lunular brown spots attached to the terminal line, a rather large
