the two cells thus formed having a transverse, nearly percurrent, line in the middle

 reaching the clavus sends out a narrow fork at an obtuse angle, the space on the clavus 

 between this and the main band being pale yellowish white with a green tinge ; at the 

 commissure the main band starts back at right angles (thus forming a broad V), and at 

 the inner margin of the subcostal cell forks, sending one broad, short, branch across the 

 subcostal and another on to the first apical cell. The exterior area forming the contents 

 of the "V" is subhyaline, the veins suffused with pale yellowish brown ; the apical part 

 of the subcostal cell, between the last mentioned fork, is hyaline. The apical part 

 (obliquely) of the tegmen is smoky, with a paler spot ; wings smoky, veins dark fuscous.
