short, transverse, from eosta near base not reaching middle of disc; a similar 

 line commencing posterior to termination of first line, to one-third dorsum; an 

 oblique line from one-fourth costa to mid-dorsum; a transverse line from two- 

 thirds costa to dorsum before tornus; a faintly outlined ochreous-whitish circle 

 beneath mid-eosta, often incomplete; usually a fine, oblique, ochreous-whitish line 

 from beneath this to dorsal end of post-median transverse line; a fine, reddish- 

 brown, subterminal, wavy line, indented in centre, becoming fuscous towards 

 tornus; a submarginal, interrupted fuscous line not reaching tornus; cilia brown,
