at tlie origin of tlio upper discocellular, aud continuiug parallel witli it to the hind 

 margin of the coll halfway between the forkings of the median vein, continued 

 obscurely through the submedian space ; the outer line runs in a parabola from the 

 costal vein to the upper median, skirting but not touching the end of the cell, and, 

 crossing the base of the upper median space, disappears above the last ocellus. 

 Ocelli six, all perfect, large, with white pupils surrounded by black and ochreous 

 and set in a lax'ge violet- whitish ring ; the first ocellus is within the line of the 

 others, and is extremely large, the next three subequal, the next lai'ger, the sixth 

 geminate, with two separate white-pupilled black spots in a yellow field ; two wavy 

 submarginal pale lines."
