greyish, glossy, faintly clouded darker along the fold, towards the dorsum 
and in the apex. Cilia whitish, an interrupted dark grey antemedian shade.

along the costa by a moderate streak of a brown irroration with a sub- 
triangular somewhat smaller spot on the middle of the costa (possibly 
extending as a transverse vertical streak to the lower edge of the cell) ; a 
broad vertical transverse wedge-shaped patch from before 2 / ;l of the costa 
to well before the apex, reaching 4 / 5 across the wing, narrowed and be-

projection below the costa, posterior edge inwardly oblique above, with a 
rounded projection in the middle of the disc; a streak from above the 
middle, outwardly curved and parallel to that projection, running half- 
way between it and the termen, with dentations between the veins poste- 
riorly; an irrorated spot on the costa just before the apex, and a terminal
