J jDuU fuscous-grey with a slight ochraceous tinge ; in both wings a 
hlachish terminal disco-cellular spot and roiu of disced spots {indistinct in 
hind-wing). Fore-wing : hind-marginal area beyond discal spots darker 
than basal area ; disco-cellular spot rather small, ill-defined inwardly ; 
between it and discal spots a dull suffused space of pale dingy-grey 
tinged with ochraceous, radiating on the basal portion of the three 
median nervules ; spots of discal row ill- defined, the first four con- 
fluent and forming a moderately broad costal bar as far as third 
median nervule, — the other four small, indistinct, separate, in a row 
inclining inwardly, between third median nervule and submedian 
nervure. Hind-wing : disco-cellular lunule, and median discal curved 
row of three or four spots indistinct or almost obsolete. Cilia dull- 
white, with rather narrow fuscous interruptions at extremities of ner- 
vules. Under side. — Hind-wing and apex of fore-wing dull hoary- 
grey. Fore-iving : basal area whitish-grey, scarcely separable from 
discal suffused space, which is dingy-whitish and much more ex- 
tensive than on upper side, forming a band beyond the discal row 
of spots ; this row and the disco-cellular spot are very distinctly 
defined on the pale ground-colour ; near base, two less distinct small 
fuscous spots, one in cell, the other below it ; outwardly edging discal 
dingy-whitish band, a row of somewhat ill- defined fuscous sagittate 
marks ; hind-marginal border pale-brownish from a little below apex. 
Hind-wing : disco-cellular spot (irregularly reniform), and chain-like, 
almost regular discal row of spots, very pale brownish, with a thin 
dark-brown edging line (stronger on inner edge of row), relieved ex- 
ternally by a thin white line ; in basal area, the traces of two highly 
irregular transverse rows of broken-up pale-brownish spots, of which 
the first and last spots of the outer row are least indistinct ; parallel 
to and not far from hind-margin an almost obsolete row of minute 
black sub-sagittiform spots ; hind-marginal border clouded with pale- 
brownish. 
^ Rather paler and slightly more ochraceous. Fore-win^ : discal 
pale space less obscure, not radiating on median nervules, but extend- 
ing more or less distinctly heyond discal row of spots. Hind-iving : 
spots not quite so indistinct. Under side, —Hind- wing and apex of 
fore- wing less hoary, more brownish-grey. Hind-wing : spots of basal 
area (except first and last of outer row) altogether obsolete; sagitti- 
form spots of submarginal row much larger and more distinct.
