A second line is formed of white irroration which is strongly curved outwards. The hindwings are light grey.
|
|
The apex is closed. The aperture is narrow above but broadening below. The columella descends obliquely, curved outwards and produced. The peristome is simple, rising high above the vertex.
|
|
The siphonal canal is very short. The simple and entire outer lip is obsoletely, widely notched and curved outwards. The lip is reflexed and slightly callous near the upper extremity. The columella is straight.

On the hind wing only the three posterior ocelli in a straight line, the rest strongly curved outwards. In the female the median or posterior ocellus on the upperside of the fore wing is always larger than in the male. Dry-season form.- Male and female.
|
|
The species exhibits sexual dimorphism in both shape and colour. Males have narrower wings and a relatively straight outer margin forming a sharp and fine pointed apex. The forewings of the females are broader. The apex is also fine pointed, but the outer margin is curved outwards.

Greenidea ficicola is a species of aphid. It was described by Takahashi in 1921. Its color is yellowish-brown to green to dark brown, and it usually has a body length of 1.7-2.2 mm. It has long, hairy siphunculi (at least one-third of body length) dark brown curved outwards distally.
|
|
The forewings are rather dark fuscous with a transverse ochreous-whitish line almost at the base and a transverse whitish-ochreous line before the middle, somewhat curved outwards on each half and indented in the middle. There is also a suffused ochreous-yellow patch occupying the apical fifth. The hindwings are grey.Meyrick, Edward (1912–1916).

Later, P. Davis rebuilt the aircraft with several alterations. The fuselage was lengthened by 8 in (203 mm), chiefly by moving the cockpit further forward, at the cost of a 7 lb (3.2 kg) increase in weight. The trailing edge of the rudder was curved outwards and a very small dorsal fillet added. Minor undercarriage changes were also made.

Originally a house dating from the 15th century. The facade faces to the south in a narrow alley- way and the building is at a right angle to the High Street. It has a close studded timber frame of four bays with rendered nogging and a plain tile roof. The first floor is jettied and is coved (curved) outwards with eaves above.
|
|
The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are reddish-brown with the plical and second discal stigmata small and dark fuscous. There is some fuscous suffusion towards the dorsum about one-fourth and an undefined fascia of fuscous suffusion crossing the wing about two-thirds, strongly curved outwards in the disc. There is a curved subterminal series of fuscous dots.

Unlike Ornithosuchus, Dasygnathoides did not appear to have a palatine-pterygoid fenestra as the homologous area of bone is curved outwards. This indicates that, in fact, it is not an ornithosuchan at all. The partial vertebra is found in the same piece of stone as the maxilla. It has a well- developed transverse process and is probably a dorsal or anterior caudal vertebra.

Crocanthes micradelpha is a species of moth of the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in the northern parts of Queensland in Australia. The wingspan is about . The forewings are orange-yellow with a small blackish spot on the costa at one-third from the base and a broad, purplish-fuscous, hindmarginal band, occupying one-third of the wing, the anterior edge darker, and slightly curved outwards.
|
|
An oblique antemedial pale of ochreous line present, with diffused red-brown band on its outer edge. A sinuous medial line angled on median nervure. Reniform large and indistinct. A red-brown diffused postmedial band, on which is a dark line slightly curved outwards beyond the cell, and at vein 2, it is very irregularly curved inwards to lower angle of cell, then descending to inner margin.
|
|
The costal edge is ochreous-orange and the plical and first discal stigmata are indicated by two very obscure somewhat lighter ochreous-brown spots, the second discal by a similar 8-shaped spot centered with two dark fuscous dots. There is an obscure ochreous-brown subterminal line, the central third somewhat curved outwards. There is also an interrupted blackish terminal line. The hindwings are grey.
|
|
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are whitish grey slightly tinged violet and with the costal edge white. The stigmata are dark grey, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a very obscure cloudy somewhat dotted grey line from four-fifths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, curved outwards from one-fourth to four-fifths of its length.

This required the wheels to be overhung outside their bearing further than was usual, but this was not a problem on a light locomotive. The motion was also easily accessible for lubrication and maintenance. Because the slide valves were mounted outside of the frames, the smokebox curved outwards at the bottom to contain the steam pipes. The locos were early adopters of a Wakefield mechanical lubricator.
|
|
The , where the two halves of the lower jaw connected at the front, was particularly short. The rest of the lower jaw was fragile; the hind third was much thinner than the front, with a blade-like appearance. The front part of the dentary curved outwards to accommodate the large front teeth, and this area formed the mandibular part of the rosette. The dentary–like the snout—had many foramina.
|
|
Its thickened, black or dark brown surface is composed of incompletely developed peridium walls and spores, and covers the ochre- to olive-brown interior. The endings of the single sporangia are slightly rough up to distinctly curved outwards and spherical. Their diameter is from 0.4 to 0.8 mm. The distinctive, spongy hypothallus is occasionally membranous, but often multi-layered and produces a permanent subsurface for the fruit body.
|
|
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are yellow with a broad purplish-fuscous hindmarginal patch occupying the posterior third of the wing, the anterior edge hardly straight, sinuate beneath the costa, then very slightly curved outwards to the inner margin. Near the anterior edge of the patch are two transverse lines of reddish purple, not reaching either margin. A few black scales are found around the anal angle.
|
|
The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are fuscous suffused with brown, especially towards the middle of the disc and three indistinct darker fuscous transverse series of cloudy dots starting from small distinct spots on the costa, the first curved outwards above the fold and inwards below it, preceded by pale raised scales in the disc, the second at first very oblique outwards, strongly curved in the disc, obsolete towards the dorsum, the third curved outwards on the upper half, forming a straight shade on the lower half. A clear round white discal dot is found at three-fifths, partially edged with dark fuscous, and connected with the first line by a longitudinal suffused dark fuscous bar. There is also a very undefined sinuate subterminal line indicated by slight whitish suffusion and edged posteriorly with darker suffusion, as well as some slight whitish suffusion towards the apex and a terminal series of dark fuscous marks.
|

Eremophila eversa is a shrub growing to a height of with rough branches covered with short milky-white hairs. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stem and are crowded so that they overlap slightly. The lower part of the leaf is pressed against the stem while the upper half is curved outwards. They are elliptic to lance-shaped, covered with hairs like those on the branches, thickened along the edges, long and wide.

Like traditional American skyscraper design, articulated setbacks are used to separate and taper the vertical shaft of the main body as it rises, similar to the Empire State Building. The tower bears some resemblance to IFC 2 in Hong Kong. Subtle features characteristic in Art Deco design are embedded within the corners of the base and the central main shaft of the tower. Each of the outer corner setbacks are curved outwards.
|
|
The forewings are light pinkish cinnamon, broadly suffused, especially on the basal and the costal area, with glossy fuscous black. The reniform is distinct, in- and out-wardly confined by a sub-triangular black suffusion. The medial line is fuscous, curved outwards from the costa to vein seven, then straight to vein two, then slightly bent inwards to vein one, then indistinct to the inner margin. The postmedial line is double, fuscous and nearly straight, waved inwards on veins one to nine.

Flowers have two tiny sepals and four petals. The flowers are bisymmetric: the two outer petals are spurred or pouched at the base and curved outwards or backwards at the tip, and the two inner ones with or without a crest at the tip. In Dicentra, all leaves are in a basal rosette, and flowers are on leafless stalks. In other genera with bisymmetric heart- shaped flowers (Lamprocapnos, Dactylicapnos, Ichtyoselmis, Ehrendorferia), leaves grow on stems as well as from the root.
|
|
The forewings are pale brassy-yellow, with fuscous markings. There is a fine slightly outwardly curved line from one-fourth of the costa to one-fourth of the inner margin and a second from beneath the costa in the middle, curved outwards and slightly sinuate beneath, ending on the innermargin about the middle. The third runs from the costa at three-fourths to the inner margin at three-fourths. There is a faint fuscous subterminal shade and a fine line along the termen.

Stanhope lens with case, early 1800s A Stanhope lens is a simple, one-piece microscope invented by Charles, the third Earl of Stanhope. It is a cylinder of glass with each end curved outwards, one being more convex than the other. The focal length of the apparatus is at or within the device so that objects to be studied are placed close to or in contact with the less curved end. Because its construction is simple and economical, it was popular in the 19th century.

The series on both forewing and hindwing margined inwardly and outwardly by silvery purple lunular lines, on the forewing curved inwards, on the hindwing curved outwards; the ocelli on forewing confluent, black, non-pupilled, on the hindwing black with disintegrate silvery-speckled irregular centres on a brown ground. Female similar: forewing on upperside with an oblique broad white discal band, hindwing with a postdiscal incomplete series of black spots. Underside similar to the underside in the male, markings and ocelli larger. Lethe europa tamuna de Nicéville is a race described originally from Little Nicobar.

A transverse S-shaped mark is found beyond the middle towards the dorsum, but not reaching it. A discal dot is found at three-fourths and there is an irregular transverse line from about three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, curved outwards from near the costa to three-fourths, whence a sharp projection proceeds to touch the lower side of the preceding discal dot. There is also a slender streak along the termen. The hindwings are white and thinly scaled with the costa and apical fourth fuscous, darker towards the apex.

Convex mirror lets motorists see around a corner. Detail of the convex mirror in the Arnolfini Portrait The passenger-side mirror on a car is typically a convex mirror. In some countries, these are labeled with the safety warning "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear", to warn the driver of the convex mirror's distorting effects on distance perception. Convex mirrors are preferred in vehicles because they give an upright (not inverted), though diminished (smaller), image and because they provide a wider field of view as they are curved outwards.

Brugmansia suaveolens is a semi-woody shrub or small tree, growing up to tall, often with a many-branched trunk. The leaves are oval, to long by wide, and even larger when grown in the shade. The flowers, which tend to be white in colour, are remarkably beautiful and sweetly fragrant, about long and shaped like trumpets. The corolla body is slightly recurved to 5 main points, but the very peaks in the true species are always curved outwards, never rolled back, and these peaks are short, only long.

The forewings are blackish fuscous, slightly purplish tinged. There is an orange median band, greatly dilated downwards, the anterior edge running from one- fourth of the costa to one-fourth of the dorsum, straight, somewhat irregular, the posterior edge running from before the middle of the costa to three- fourths of the dorsum, twice curved outwards above and below the middle. The hindwings are blackish fuscous with a rather irregular orange blotch resting on the median third of the costa, narrowed downwards, reaching more than halfway across the wing.Transactions of the Entomological Society of London.

|
The forewings are yellow ochreous with fuscous lines. The first is indistinct and the second is black dotted on the costa, followed by three semi- transparent whitish dots on the upper third and abruptly curved outwards on the middle third, thence strongly broken inwards and obsolete to beneath the middle of the disc, where it is continued to the inner margin. There is a fuscous discal mark, preceded by a quadrate semi-transparent whitish spot, beneath which is another similar anteriorly dark-edged spot preceding the second line. There are three dark fuscous dots on the costa posteriorly.

The eastbound platform was long, while the westbound platform was slightly longer. The platform layout was almost identical to that at Caledonian Road, but the two tracks curved outwards in the middle of the station to accommodate the extra width of the lift shaft bases. The platform tiling was carried out by George Woolliscroft & Son of Hanley, Staffordshire, and was made up of white with maroon and brick red patterning. Most of the tiling has since been painted over in grey, but a small section remains untouched and can be seen at the Finsbury Park end of the former eastbound platform.

These required a lot of riveting and also some complicated mechanical detail where they met the transverse frames. Knowler's design replaced the internal stringers with external corrugations in the hull plating which needed no riveting and avoided the stringer-frame intersection. They were spaced a few inches apart, so (on each side) there were five above the chine and four on the two step planing bottom. The hydrodynamic novelty was less subtle: most flying boats had used hulls which in cross section curved outwards from the keel rather than take a simple V-form, chiefly to reduce "dirty" upward spray.

The forewings are creamy white, with a brown spot at the extreme base of the costa, a narrow brown fascia near the base slightly curved outwards. A wide reduplicated brown wedge-shaped fascia occupying two-thirds of the costal and one-half of the dorsal space beyond the middle of the wing, its central space showing the pale ground colour in more or less amalgamated longitudinal streaks. Its inner edge straight, its outer edge obliquely parallel to the apical margin. Before this, running from the apex to within the anal angle is another narrow brownish oblique fascia.

Satrapodoxa is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Satrapodoxa regia, which is found in Guyana.funet.fi The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are black with a subdorsal streak of orange suffusion from the base to near the tornus and three pale blue-metallic streaks, the first from the base of the costa along the submedian fold to one-fourth, the second from the costa at one-fourth to just beyond the apex of the first and the third from the middle of the costa nearly to the middle of the dorsum, somewhat curved outwards.
|
|
The plical and second discal stigmata are dark fuscous and there is a small cloudy violet-fuscous spot on the middle of the costa, where a strongly curved series of dark fuscous dots runs to the dorsum at two-thirds. There is a rather larger flattened-triangular violet-fuscous spot on the costa at three-fourths, where a series of dark fuscous dots runs to the dorsum before the tornus, indented beneath the costa and curved outwards in the disc. There is a terminal series of dark fuscous dots. The hindwings are grey, paler towards the base.

The diverse twilight-zone flora near the entrance of Rawhiti Cave makes this cave nationally significant. Over long periods of time, plant growth on the cave formations causes them to grow towards the sunlight as more calcium carbonate is deposited regularly on top of the plant growth. This phenomenon, called phytokarst, is most evident on the larger stalactites near the cave entrance, which are strongly curved outwards due to the heavy moss and fern growth on their sunlit sides.Information panel "Rawhiti Cave – a nationally significant phytokarst", Department of Conservation NZ Apart from the short walking track to the viewing platform, the cave is undeveloped and in its natural state.

Petal color may be white, pink, or purple, often with darker color on the nose. Many species have a pink form and a white form, but a few have only one color, such as Cyclamen balearicum, which is always white. The dark color on the flower nose varies in shape: Cyclamen persicum has a smooth band, Cyclamen hederifolium has a streaky V, and Cyclamen coum has an M-shaped splotch with two white or pink "eyes" beneath. On left C. persicum (without auricles); on right C. hederifolium (with auricles) In some species, such as Cyclamen hederifolium, the petal edges at the nose are curved outwards into auricles (Latin for "little ears").

The forewings are whitish ochreous, with a few scattered dark fuscous scales posteriorly. The plical and second discal stigmata are dark fuscous and there is a blackish-fuscous streak along the costa from before the middle to near the apex, cut by a very oblique white strigula beyond the middle. A fine white subterminal line is found from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, rather acutely angulated in the middle, the upper half faintly curved outwards, followed by brownish suffusion, the lower straight. There is also a small black rhomboidal spot on the termen beneath the apex, edged with some whitish suffusion.

The forewings are pale greyish ochreous with the costal edge yellow ochreous. There is a small brown spot on the costa beyond one-fourth and a larger one in the middle, and a rounded-triangular blotch about four-fifths. There are also brownish interrupted lines or series of cloudy dots crossing the wing from each of these, the first irregular, the second very strongly curved outwards, the third moderately curved, the disc between the second and third in some specimens suffused with light brownish. There is a dark brownish transverse mark or pair of dots on the end of the cell and a terminal series of dark fuscous dots.
|

A streaked morph of the nominate subspecies of tawny eagle. In flight, the tawny eagle appears as a large raptor with a noticeably protruding head on a long neck, with a deep chest, long and broad wings with a somewhat narrower seven-fingered hand. The trailing edge of the wing is slightly curved outwards, indenting at the junction of primaries and secondaries, whilst the rounded, medium-length tail is usually held spread. The deep beats of the kinked wings can make their flight appear rather heavy and slow but they are quicker and more expansive in wing movements and often less forceful-looking than larger Aquila like steppe eagles and can be very agile when chasing other raptors to rob them.

The locks were built to allow wherries to use the navigation, and so were . However, they were unusual, in that the side walls curved outwards in the centre, to provide an extra of width. So that wherries could reach his maltings, a local maltster named Patrick Stead increased the water levels above the point where the New Cut and the Town River joined, by building an additional lock near the junction. The day-to-day running of the navigation for the first four years was the responsibility of Samuel Jones, who appears to have overseen the construction of the navigation while Langley Edwards was elsewhere, and who was appointed as lock-keeper, toll-collector, warehouse-keeper and surveyor of works by the Commissioners.

Geometry problem of the surface of a heptagon divided into triangles, on a clay tablet belonging to a school for scribes; Susa, the first half of the 2nd millennium BCE The United Kingdom currently (2020) has two heptagonal coins, the 50p and 20p pieces, and the Barbados Dollar are also heptagonal. The 20-eurocent coin has cavities placed similarly. Strictly, the shape of the coins is a Reuleaux heptagon, a curvilinear heptagon to make them curves of constant width: the sides are curved outwards so that the coin will roll smoothly when inserted into a vending machine. Botswana pula coins in the denominations of 2 Pula, 1 Pula, 50 Thebe and 5 Thebe are also shaped as equilateral-curve heptagons.

The wingspan is 26–28 mm. The forewings are white, tinged with ochreous except on the margins and with a light grey basal patch not reaching the costa, towards the dorsum with a spot of dark grey mixture, and on the dorsal half extended by light grey suffusion to a dark grey dorsal patch at two-thirds. The first discal stigma is light grey and there are two blackish-grey dots transversely placed on the end of the cell. There is an oblique light grey transverse shade from near the costa in the middle, curved outwards around these dots and there are two light narrow transverse slightly curved or nearly straight fasciae between this and the termen, not reaching the costa.
|
|
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are pale whitish-ochreous with a very small dark fuscous mark on the base of the costa, and a dot on the fold near the base, as well as a very indistinct oblique series of scattered dark fuscous scales and suffused marks from one-fifth of the costa to a black dot representing the plical stigma. The second discal stigma is black and there is a cloudy dark fuscous spot on the middle of the costa, where an indistinct cloudy fuscous shade runs to the dorsum at three-fifths, strongly curved outwards around the second discal stigma. There is a strongly curved fuscous line interrupted on the veins from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus.

This type of cuirass curved outwards in front at a steep angle which culminated at the groin, where it tapered into a small horn-like protrusion. All-over gilding or silvering was replaced by strips of blued or gilded steel, typically running horizontally across the pauldrons at the edge of each lame, and vertically down the cuirass and tassets, which emulated the strips of colourful embroidered cloth that were popular in civilian fashion. Some armours were provided with an extra pair of tassets for use at the barriers which were very wide, not unlike the form of a pair of trunkhose. The extant armours of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester and that of Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke currently display these tassets.

The British-Canadian mycologist Arthur Henry Reginald Buller determined that the asci are heliotropic—they bend toward light. As he noted, "I cut transverse sections though their pilei, examined these sections under the microscope, and at once perceived that in all the hymenial grooves and depressions the asci were curved outwards so that their opercula must have faced the strongest rays of light to which the ends of the asci has been subjected in the places where the fruit-bodies developed." This response to the stimulus of light is significant because it permits a fruit body to point and later discharge its asci towards open spaces, thus increasing the chances that the spores will be dispersed by wind. The paraphyses are thick and club- shaped, with diameters of 7–8 µm at their tips.

The use of gault brick helps it relate to the older buildings in the conservation area, even though its age, size and style do not conform to the typical pattern of the area: houses of up to four storeys with decorative exterior features, sash windows and large chimneys, mostly built in the 1870s and 1880s. The south and north elevations are curved outwards, and above the entrance on the north side is a "curious Art Nouveau-style plaster decoration" featuring stylised fleurs-de- lys, sunbursts and crowns. Further decorative plasterwork in the form of Tudor roses is visible on the east wall, which overlooks Hove Lawns. These expanses of grass, separated by paths leading from Kingsway to the beach, run westwards from the old boundary with Brighton as far as Courtenay Gate.

The wingspan is about 15 mm for males and 18 mm for females. The forewings are white, with scattered grey specks and with the markings light yellowish-grey, sprinkled with dark fuscous specks and with an oblique line from the base of the costa, reaching half across the wing. Three cloudy irregular somewhat interrupted lines run from blackish-grey spots on the costa, the first from one-fourth of the costa to two-fifths of the dorsum, curved, the second from before the middle of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum, forming a broad rectangular loop outwards in the disc, the third from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, curved outwards on the upper half. There is a small tuft on the fold representing the plical stigma, and a transverse tuft on the end of the cell within the loop of the second line.

The forewings are whitish, partially tinged with pale grey, and finely irrorated (speckled) throughout with blackish. There is a brown oblique fascia-like spot from the costa about one- third, somewhat dilated downwards, reaching to below the middle of the disc, containing a blackish suffusion towards its lower extremity. A roundish-brown blotch is found in the disc about three-fourths, including a longitudinal suffused blackish streak, and confluent posteriorly with a smaller brown blotch on the middle of the hindmargin. There is a sinuate fuscous line from the middle of the costa to the centre of the blotch at three-fourths and an ill-defined blackish-fuscous denticulate line from two-thirds of the costa to the inner margin before the anal angle, very strongly curved outwards so as to approach the margin throughout, followed on the costa by two or three small spots of brownish suffusion.

The uppersides of its wings are very pale brown in color, somewhat paler in the female, uniform, with the black spots of the underside faintly apparent by transparency. The undersides are white, with round black spots and markings as follows: forewing: a spot at base of wing followed in transverse order by two spots, again two spots, then an irregular row of five spots that crosses near the apex of cell, the lower two coalescent, beyond that another curved row of five spots, two of which are in interspace 3, then a complete curved series of outwardly-pointed and a terminal series of inwardly-pointed similar spots. The spots of the last series cross a well-marked but very slender anteciliary black line, and thus cause the white cilia to the wing to be alternated with black. Hindwing: similarly crossed by five rows, all of which are more or less curved outwards, of black spots, followed by a slender uninterrupted anteciliary black line.

The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are white, with scattered grey specks and a small blackish mark on the base of the costa and three blackish spots on the costa, where rise faint lines of grey irroration, the first from one-fifth of the costa, oblique, obsolete below the middle, the second from before the middle of the costa very obliquely outwards, bent and passing behind the discal mark to the fold, obsolete on the dorsum, the third from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, curved outwards on the upper half. A white tuft is found on the fold representing the plical stigma and there is a rather oblique strong black linear mark on the end of the cell, edged anteriorly with raised white scales. There is a curved series of faint small cloudy fuscous spots near the apical and terminal margin, one below the middle of the termen larger and more conspicuous.

Mounted specimen The adult moth's forewing is 13 to 16 mm (0.51 to 0.63 inches) long, and the wingspan is 25 to 30 mm (0.98 to 1.18 inches). Forewings are black slightly dusted with grey. Lines are whitish, the subbasal ending in a grey- edged black spot on inner margin; the inner is obliquely curved outwards; the outer is angled at vein 6, indented on 4 and angled inwards below vein 2, running upwards and outwards below reniform, then downwards again parallel to its former course, and finally running in to the inner line above inner margin. Orbicular stigma is a round black spot with grey outline; reniform large and black, edged externally by a white bar, which often emits a narrow pale line externally from its middle subterminal line sinuous, double, somewhat lunulate, with dark centre and pale-scaled edges, except at costa where it is single and white, preceded by oblong black spots separated by the pale veins.

Forewing: black markings similar to those on the upperside, but the black at apex and on termen replaced anteriorly by a dull faint wash of ochraceous or greenish yellow. Hindwing: basal two-thirds irrorated more or less thickly with black scales, with the exception of a short, very broad, inwardly oblique band of the ground colour, that extends from the middle of the costa to within the upper portion of the discoidal cell; the outer margin of the area irrorated with black scales is transverse from costa to interspace 5, thence curved outwards to vein 4 and obliquely to vein 1a. Antennae brown, paler at their apices; head fuscous; thorax and abdomen black; beneath: whitish. Female upperside similar to that in the male, but the black markings on the forewing broader, more conspicuous and extended lower along the termen than in the male; on the hindwing the black costal spot larger, with in most specimens a well-marked spot also in interspace 3, and in many a series of detached terminal black spots at the apices of the veins.

The wingspan is about 40 mm. The forewings are white, sprinkled with fuscous and a small dark fuscous spot on the base of the costa. There is an irregular cloudy fuscous line from one- fifth of the costa to one-third of the dorsum, strongly curved outwards and angulated below the middle. A white tuft is found on the fold before the middle of the wing, tinged with fuscous posteriorly, and a larger one in the disc beyond the middle and there is a dark fuscous spot on the costa before the middle, connected by two blackish dots with a strong rather oblique black bar in the disc at two-thirds, where a row of three or four undefined dots of black irroration runs obliquely inwards towards the dorsum and there is a larger fuscous spot on the costa at two-thirds connected by a curved series of three small spots with a transverse fuscous blotch resting on the dorsum before the tornus and there is a submarginal series of three or four subconfluent fuscous dots sprinkled with dark fuscous before the lower half of the termen.
