white streaks, divided by the vein, in the disc, obliquely placed; costal black line 
thick; outer marginal band very narrow ; veins prominent. Hindwing with a longer

these very oblique, the two upper ones small and in a curve inwards. Hindwing with 
the usual three sub-basal black spots in a line ; the discal series as usual, but the middle 
mark linear and very oblique ; both wings with an indistinct sub-terminal, grey, 
lunular line ; a very fine marginal line, with markings between them, composed on the 
forewing of short grey linear marks, and on the hindwing of small black spots.
