 the middle and entling in the iipex of a large triangular spot of the same 

 hue on internal margin. The large purple costal spot throws out a line 

 which is forketl just below it, one branch rimning obliciuely inwardly to the 

 triangular spot on internal margin, the other outwardly to before internal
