A. Basal fascia consisting of 3 yellow dots near the scutellum, 

 and a lai'ge humeral patch, 2 — 4 flexuous, narrow, 5 — 6 confused 

 together (2 — 3 generally approximate). 



B. Basal fascia reduced to 3 or 4 yellow dots, 2 — 3 united in a 

 broad band, or 2 — 5 confused inextricably. (This is the described 

 form and the most abundant).

 narrowed at the suture, 4 — 5 united, near the apex.
