  A 
  grey 
  line 
  runs 
  from 
  the 
  costa 
  within 
  the 
  outermost 
  spot, 
  and 
  on 
  

   the 
  inner 
  margin 
  joins 
  a 
  grey 
  submacular 
  stripe 
  which 
  runs 
  from 
  the 
  costa, 
  and 
  

   is 
  angulated 
  outwards 
  about 
  the 
  middle.

  inner 
  

   margin, 
  throwing 
  off 
  a 
  branch 
  obliquely 
  downwards 
  and 
  outwards 
  at 
  one-third 
  

   of 
  its 
  length, 
  which 
  then 
  curves 
  upwards 
  and 
  bifurcates 
  before 
  the 
  costa; 
  below 
  

   this
