 spaces are suffused with orange. Base slightly darkened. Black 

 spots as follows : — One in cell at, or slightly beyond origin of 

 nervule2. A spot (sometimes double) on discocellulars. A discal 

 row of 2 to 4 spots beyond cell in 6, 5, 4, and 3, lying nearly in 

 a straight line at right angles to costa. Sometimes a dot near
