third moderately irrorated with dark fuscous-grev, irroration tending to 
form transverse strigulae, which become coarse towards costa. 01 whitish, 
touched with pale ochreous, irrorated with light ochreous-brown, more so 
posteriorly, especially along costal half; irroration on lower half tending 
to form transverse striae. An oblique transverse blackish spot from costa 
beyond base to fold; another such spot, somewhat shorter, on x / 4 of costa; 
a black or dark fuscous transverse fascia from middle of costa to beyond 
2 / 5 of dorsum, rather narrow, with upper third broader, vertical, forming 
a blunt posterior projection just above cell; lower two-thirds of this fascia 
narrower, inwardly oblique, with a moderate, angulate projection above 
dorsum anteriorly; moderate irregular light tawny spots below middle of 
disc; before and beyond transverse fascia, posterior spots larger; costa 
between transverse fascia and apex with three blackish dots; a strongly 
inwardly oblique black or dark fuscous mark from 2 / 3 of dorsum to about 
i/ 3 of wing breadth halfway between transverse fascia and termen; top of 
mark bent, pointing towards tornus; dark fuscous-grey irroration and 
strigulation, stronger along costal half, reaching posteriorly as far as vein 
9, interrupted in disc beyond cell, distinct again towards termen where it 
is tinged with bronze; a dark fuscous-bronze dot in apex. Cilia white, 
barred with black opposite costal markings, apical third around apex and 
along upper half of termen dark grey, basal third except extreme base 
around apex and along second fourth of termen with a black line. Hind 
wing with veins (5 and 7 closely approximated towards base; sordid 
whitish, tinged pale greyish-fuscous posteriorly, more distinctly so towards 
apex; cilia sordid whitish, on costa before apex touched with ochreous. 
Limen T-shaped, transverse bar with rounded extremities and a 
sclerotized median body with rounded upper edge, this part and stalk ol 
the “T” finely corrugated. Ductus bursae narrow. Cestum, a bent plate 
reaching into bursa copulatrix. Ventrite below limen with a narrow 
transverse fold at each side (Slides No. 788 D, holotype, paratype No.
