another similar spot, slightly anterior, subtriangular, in disc just above 
middle ; a rather broad vertical blotch of sparse, coarse retination slightly 
beyond the preceding spot, connecting this spot with dorsum beyond 
middle; three larger blackish dots along third fourth of costa, a moderate 
elongate-ovate suffused grej r spot below those, an erect, grey, black-edged 
spot below preceding and beyond cell and another somewhat longer similar 
spot, slightly oblique, below preceding, to dorsum before tornus ; an erect- 
ovate grey preterminal spot, from vein 3 to 7, edged with blackish scales, 
and with white vertical streak in centre; posterior J / 4 of wing more 
distinctly retinate with grey. Cilia white, an antemedian row of blackish

oblique, from below first costal dot to above dorsum; a second similar
