 acute, termen bowed, oblique, finely dentate; fuscous; mark- 

 ings dark fuscous, obscure; a small basal patch; a median 

 fascia containing a darker discal dot beneath mid-costa, 

 limited anteriorly by a nearly straight line from ^ costa to 

 ^ dorsum, posteriorly by a line from | costa, strongly bent 

 outwards in disc, with an angular prominence between veins 

 7 and 8, and another between 3 and 4, thence sinuate to 

 I dorsum ; an indistinct pale subterminal line ; a terminal 

 line interrupted by pale dots on veins; cilia fuscous. Hind-
