red-brown medial line, oblique to the discoidal spot, then 
incurved ; postmedial line indistinct, brown, oblique to 
vein 6, strongly incurved and slightly waved below vein 4 ; 
a slight waved dark subterminal line defined on inner side 
by white from costa to vein 3 below which it is bent inwards, 
then erect and white defined on inner side by a rufous shade 
to tornus ; a fine waved dark terminal line. Hind wing grey

white below vein 5, a black-brown subbasal spot below costa, 
sinuous medial fine, brown striae before and beyond the 
discocellulars and point at lower angle of cell, postmedial 
fine excurvecl below costa, bent inwards below vein 4, then 
erect and sinuous, lunulate white subterminal fine defined 
on outer side by brown striae, oblique below vein 4 ; hind
