In this, on the end of the cell, is a small blackish spot edged laterally with oblique whitish marks and between this and the apex are two fine black lines. The plical and second discal stigmata are linear and black and there is a small whitish mark on the costa before the apex connected with the extremity of the fourth strigula.
