 brown ; somewhat lanceolate, sinuate ; encloses a light-brown 

 mark, speckled with yellowish-white, basal half conforms 

 somewhat to outer sinuations, posterior half tapers rapidly ; 

 two brown lines, curving obliquely backwards, spring from the

 lateral margins display broad, thickly-flecked, sinuate bands; 

 upper third forms a yellowish-white border to the median

 somewhat ear- shaped lamellar process, projecting forwards 

 beyond the bulb, springs from the base of palpus clava, on its
