darker oblique streak from the costa not far from the base, reaching to 
the fold; along the fold are three dark fuscous spots, and on the dise 
are two others obliquely above the second and third of the fold, the 
last being a little beyond the middle of the wing ; the pale hinder fascia 
is not very distinct, it is angulated; the hinder margin and apex of 
the costa are varied with pale and dark fuscous; cilia pale fuscous. 
Posterior wings pale greyish-fuscous, with paler cilia.
