 orbicular and reniform large, pale, indistinctly defined, the former round, 

 the latter somewhat angled inwards on median nervure and with some pale 

 points on its edges ; traces of a medial line, oblique from costa to median 

 nervure, then slightly waved, the area beyond it tinged with fuscous ; post- 

 medial line bent outwards below costa, then dentate, excurvecl to vein 4, 

 then incurved ; a subterminal series of slight pale points defined on inner
