 inner marginal area ; the postmedial line is not well denned, but is 

 traceable as a fuscous curve from the costa to a black angular mark 

 placed almost at the extremity of a blackish longitudinal line from 

 the base of the wing ; submarginal line fuscous, parallel with margin, 

 except towards costa ; fringes white, preceded by a fuscous line and 

 four black dots towards the inner angle. Secondaries white with a 

 slight fuscous tinge.
