 upper portion deeply excavated on its outer side, a twin spot between it and the costa, 

 a round spot below it in the first median interspace, a small round spot outside, near 

 the base of the second median interspace, two dots below in the interno-mediau

 with one on each side and with two small spots in the cell inside them, and four out- 

 side them, the upper three close together, all the spots with l^lackish-brown edges ;
