 a large postbasal patch across the suture of the elytra composed of olive-clay spots 

 separated into dots laterally, dilated on suture forwards and backwards, ill-defined, 

 a similar transverse patch before ajiical declivity, the apical area more or less

 but the brown markings deeper in tint and therefore more conspicuous ; two or
