The basal fascia is entire, the medial a little broader and evi-

 luteis. L. 7 lin. — 9 lin. 



Amazons, Pebas. 



The fasciae are well marked, uniform and narrow, the basal 

 forms a humeral spot, the 4th is confused with the apical mark- 

 ings. It is readily recognizable by the punctuation.
