 short, transverse, black-edged fascia extends almost to inner margin ; 

 between this fascia and that at basal fourth the ground color is golden- 

 ochreous, this color also between the outer metallic fascia and apex; 

 from costa, in the area between the two fasciae, an elongate greenish- 

 fuscous shade streaked with white and extending nearly to middle of
