 above and below the upper median veinlet, being distinctly indented opposite the 

 discocellular and less so at a short distance inward ; a discal transverse moderately 

 narrow excurved interrupted macular band, followed by a slender submarginal

 a prominent broad whitish inner-discal band, which is more or less tinged with
