ringlets, which are very variable in size and shape, and are in some 

 cases partly confluent, and in one variety those in the fifth are 

 partly shaded with brown ; the borders of the costal ringlets, and of 

 a reniform discal ringlet, are darker than the others in the wing. 

 The ringlets are still more variable and irregular in the hind wings, 

 which are occasionally nearly wholly pale brown.
