angle of cell, where there is a white spot; the submarginal line 
pale, with some dark streaks between it and the oblique line. 
In the form angulifascia the colour of the male is ochreous, with 
the oblique line chestnut and bent down to middle of inner margin 
instead of running to the base; the female is uniform fulvous, with 
white speck at angle of cell, the line single, bent, and running to 
the base. In plusioides there is an indistinct angled antemedial 
line; obscure orbicular and reniform spots; the postmedial line 
angled below costa, curved beyond cell, then double and running to 
middle of inner margin ; an obscure apical streak with dark sagittate 
marks below it; an indistinct dentate submarginal line; colour 
dark vinous brown, the area beyond the oblique line tinged with 
fulvous. Ina Nilgiri form the oblique line is almost straight from 
the angle below costa. In sagittata the colour is duller and more 
uniform brown, with the line more uniformly excurved round cell ; 
the palpi often somewhat shorter.
