There are also three oblique, transverse rows of similar spots from one-fourth of the costa to about one-fourth of the inner margin, one from the middle of the costa to before the middle of the inner margin and another from near three-fourths of the costa to beyond the middle of the inner margin. The hindwings are fuscous.[3]
