spot below knees on tibie, distal two thirds of hind tibia, distal half of other tibie and the 
tarsi which are yellow. Fore wings deeply embrowned from a little proximad of the origin of 
the marginal vein nearly to apex where there is a narrow apical clear portion. Nearly all of 
second femora pale yellowish except a concolorous band around before apex, the other 
femora yellowish near base.
