 denticulate central shade in the middle ; submarginal line more or 

 less regularly cuneiform, preceded and followed by fulvous, dusted 

 with greyish silvery ; costal space between 2nd and submarginal

 pointing to the base on the subcostal, median, and submediau veins ; 

 this line is edged internally by spaces of pale ground-colour, 

 entirely without dark atoms, most broadly in the 2 curves ; 2nd 

 line, M"hich is twice as far frona the 1st on the costa as on the 

 inner margin, also denticulate outwards on the veins, and forming 

 a series of small curves between them and one larger one above 

 the inner margin, approaching the lower of the two curves of the 

 1st line; discal spot dark fuscous; space between the 2 lines 

 much dusted with fuscous, especially towards costa and inner 

 margin, and sometimes almost suffused with fuscous ; the 

 2iid line is followed by a series of pale spaces similar to those
