beyond this light patch a spot of whitish scales on lower and upper angles, 
surrounded by a black edging, so as to form the figure 8, lower spot larger than 
upper; postmedial line fairly distinct, but diffused, double and fuscous-black, 
angled inwardly at stalk 7, 8, 9, 10, then curved obliquely to plical fold, then 
more erect and angled inwardly above 1 b and outwardly below 1 b; the outer 
line is only distinct on the veins; -some dashes of ground colour beyond it at 
costa; sub-terminal line rather diffuse, from near apex to tornus, somewhat 
incurved at vein 5 and plical fold, fuscous-black and followed by some light 
scaling, dentate outwardly on the veins; some terminal dark scales on the veins; 
cilia clove -brown with a few sayal-brown scales opposite the veins. Hind wing 
orange-cinnamon (xxix) with an indistinct medial line of lighter colour; cilia 
warm sepia (xxix) tipped with whitish.
