A very fine white line is found along the submedian fold from the base to the middle of the wing and there is a white line from two-thirds of the costa to four-fifths of the dorsum, the discal portion forming an acute angle inwards, the area beyond this wholly dark fuscous streaked with white irroration on the veins.
