There is a blackish basal dot in the middle and an irregular more or less interrupted dark violet-fuscous line from one-fourth of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, posteriorly edged with ferruginous-yellow suffusion in the disc. A small dark violet-fuscous spot is found on the middle of the costa, the second discal stigma dark fuscous, and one or two dots tinged with yellow between these, as well as a somewhat curved blackish-grey line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, the apical area beyond this greyish violet.
