small dark fuscous spot in disc before middle, a second in disc beyond 

 middle, and a third almost directly beneath first on fold ; first and second 

 connected by a clear whitish-ochreous line, beneath which is a fourth 

 similar spot between them ; a small dark fuscous spot on costa at f , its 

 apex suffusedly confluent with second discal spot ; a very indistinct suffused 

 strongly curved dark fuscous line from f of costa to anal angle, beneath 

 closely approximating to hindmargin : cilia dark fuscous-grey, mixed with 

 whitish-ochreous. Hindwings dark grey ; cilia grey, with a dark grey line

An inconspicuous but distinct species.
