 on either side of petiole ; tubercles pronainent, directed out- 

 wards ; dorsal mark extends to apices of tubercles, is sharply 

 constricted at central pair of impressed spots, tapers towards 

 spinners, throwing off a few transverse bars, has orange-red 

 tints, with dull-yellowish shading, few black marks in centre ; 

 lateral margins longitudinally wrinkled, large irregular-shaped
