 represented by blackish spots at costa, on lucdiiiu vein, at the base of first median

 row of small spots, those between veins 3 and 4 and on either side of vein 7 the 

 largest, and a flattened scmielliptical blotch on inner margin from one-fifth to 

 three-fifths; below the apex beyond the two larger spots of the subraarginal row 

 are two bluish white wedge-shajied marks : the fovea in the S is white: fringe
