  nearly 
  to 
  the

  bright 
  ochraceous, 
  a 
  

   streak 
  in 
  the

  with 
  four 
  spurs 
  reaching 
  to 
  the

  nervure, 
  another 
  

   along 
  the 
  subcostal

  a 
  shorter 
  one 
  at 
  the

  with 
  the

  at 
  its

   three 
  sinuate 
  bars

  red, 
  the 
  first

  the

   crosses 
  the

  the

  the 
  subcostal 
  nervure 
  just 
  

   beyond 
  its 
  junction 
  with 
  the 
  first 
  subcostal 
  nervure, 
  crosses 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  

   and 
  terminates 
  on 
  the 
  submedian 
  nervure, 
  with 
  a 
  short 
  spur 
  which 
  extends 
  

   inwardly 
  along 
  the 
  median 
  nervure, 
  all 
  the 
  bars 
  narrowly 
  bordered 
  with 
  metallic 
  

   greenish-blue

  there 
  is 
  a 
  dark 
  patch

  subcostal 
  

   nervules 
  beyond 
  the

  the 
  middle 
  bar, 
  an 
  obscure 
  dark 
  red 
  oblong
