outer ends, the upper five being short, the others elongated, that between the lower 
median and submedian divided by a black curved line ; beyond is a submarginal row 
of nine rounded spots. Hindwing with greyish-white cell area, elongated broad 
discal streaks, a submarginal row of two upper irregularly-oval spots and four lower 
dentate-lunules, and a large quadrate chrome-yellow anal spot; the abdominal 
margin densely clothed with ochreous-white hairs, the fold when open displaying a 
lengthened pale ochreous scent-organ. Underside dull ochreous-brown; markings

rounded spots outside end of the cell also more or less obliterated, the discal streaks 
much narrower and shorter, the upper two absent, the submarginal spots somewhat 
smaller. Hindwing with the cell and discal streaks narrower, the cell streak and
