subcostal nervure, then straight across the cell, forming the inner margin of the orbicular, 
which is pale brown with a narrow black line along its outer margin, and with two pale 
brown lunules outwardly bordered with black below it, thence from median nervure to inner 
margin in the shape of a reversed S ; reniform pale brown, with a narrow black margin, 
except below, where it is merged in a broad pale brown band, thickly irrorated with black 
scales, and reaching to the inner margin, the inner margin of this band concave and edged

The hairs covering the head, thorax, abdomen, legs, and palpi tinged with bluish grey.
