 on costa opposite the centre of the first three, from which an 

 arched line bends round from costa, arches along middle of wing 

 and is shortly and sharply bent back on itself to outer dot on 

 inner margin. A dot at one-fifth costa subtends an oblicpie line 

 to one-third inner margin, a small discal ring at one-third costa, 

 and another obliquely l)ehind ; a discoidal ring at half costa con- 

 cave posteriorly ; a line runs behind this between veins two and 

 three bends at a right angle to vein one. and then forming an
