Legs with the femora and tibiae brown, traces of a pale knee 

 spot ; on the under surface of femora are also pale patches ; 

 first tarsals with three creamy bands, one apical, second and 

 third tarsals with very broad apical yellow areas above (not true 

 bands), last two tarsals all brown; in the mid legs the pale 

 apical areas are only on the first and second tarsals, and the 

 other two pale first tarsal areas indistinct ; in the hind legs 

 the apex of the first tarsal pale above and traces of the other 

 two pale spots, the greater part of the second tarsal white

 small, equal and simple. 



Wings with the costa with four yellow spots which spread 

 evenly on to the first long vein, and a small apical yellow spot 

 where the lower branch of the first sub-marginal cell joins the 

 border, extending on to the fringe ; the rest of the veins dark 

 scaled except for a pale area along the greater part of the third 

 vein, a trace under the first costal spot on the upper branch of 

 the first sub-marginal cell, another at its base on the stem, one at

 the lower branch of the fourth and both branches of the fifth 

 join the fringe ; first sub-marginal cell longer and narrower than 

 the second posterior cell, its base slightly nearer the base of the 

 wing, its stem more than half the length of the cell ; cross-veins
