 arising on the costa, and ending suddenly on the disc ; this is followed by a 

 very much angulated white line, which extends to the inner margin, and to 

 which two other white streaks are attached, one reaching to the apex, the 

 other almost to the hinder angle of the posterior margin, and forming by
