irregular line of dark fuscous scales edged brownish-ochreous 
suffusion beneath rising from near base in middle, running nearly 
parallel to costa to 5 but narrowly interrupted at then obtusely 
angled and running very oblique downwards to above torn us and 
then again obtusely angled to tornus; a short fine similar line 
rather near and parallel to dorsum from ^ to |, then angled down¬ 
wards but not reaching dorsum; a brownish-ochreous shade irre¬ 
gularly sprinkled dark fuscous rising from middle of costa and 
running very oblique to junction of veins 7 and 8 , thence obtuse- 
angled r to termen near tornus, lower part becoming a fine dark 
fuscous stria; a fine interrupted fuscous stria before upper half of 
termen : cilia pale ochreous. Hindwings whitish-ochreous, dorsal
