 large, occupying nearly one-third of the dorsum, nearly as high as the width of 

 the base. The tip is pointed. The black abdominal spots are nearly circular 

 in shape ami arranged in transverse and longitudinal rows. In longitudinal 

 rows the arrangement is as follows: a single spot in front of each eorniele, a 

 row of six large spots and one small spot on each side, just inside the base of 

 the cornicles, another row betwien the cornicles and the tubercle on each side 

 consisting /)f six .spots each, two median rows of smaller .spots, each consisting 

 of three each in front of the tubercle (the spot in each row just in front of the 

 tubercle very small and often not present), and one small .spot ju.st In-hind the
