to the apex ; and the median fascia is nearly straight, and enlarged posteriorly as a 

 quadrate sutural spot ; the sutural vitta anterior to the fascia is gradually dilated near

the fascia and near the scutellum. The scutellar area remains reddish ; and there is a 









reddish spot at the base on each side.
