 two-thirds of vein 2, where it is shortly curved downwards, forming a beak, 

 and then rurves inwards to base of median vein ; tlic subcostal vein shortly 

 brown at base. 



Jlimlviiui : blacker: the orange area confined t(i a small blotch close to base 

 between inner margin and median vein, running out ahmg the latter for one-third
