  spot 
  1 
  is 
  larger, 
  crossing 
  the 
  

   median 
  nervure, 
  and 
  instead 
  of 
  spot 
  4 
  being 
  a 
  long 
  dash 
  on 
  the 
  

   inner 
  margin, 
  it 
  is 
  an 
  irregular 
  spot, 
  running 
  obliquely 
  upwards 
  

   across 
  the 
  submedian 
  nervure 
  towards

  the 
  apical 
  spot 
  is 
  

   broad,

  the 
  base 
  of
