 median nervule, where it ceases ; a small black spot at the end of the cell, a 

 cluster of black scales forming an indistinct submarginal spot between the 

 upper and middle median nervules, the space from the outer third of the cell, 

 and thence over the disc to the black apical band, and nearly as far as the 

 posterior angle, bright orange.
