There is an elongated brown spot on the cell near the basal third of the wing and a triangular brown spot on the end of the cell immediately before the fissure, indistinctly connected with an elongate brown spot on the costa above the end of the fissure. A similar spot occurs near the middle of the costa of the first lobe. The hindwings are pale fuscous, with the fringes a little darker tha
