vein 4; a waved subterminal line white from costa to termen at vein 2; some white at apex; an oblique 
black bar on discocellular; median shade fulvous, rising from a black costal spot, and bent in middle; 
black terminal spots with rufous between them; hindwing white, with brown and rufous suffusion; the
