(99) In the patterns of the elytra of the species of Rhyparida, to ensure 

 a perfectly straight suture, the markings are usually shown a little to the 

 left of their true positions, as seen from a slightly oblique direction. Many 

 other species and varieties of Rhyparida. in addition to those shown, have 

 elytral markings, but these are often so vaguely limited (although the 

 markings themselves are often very conspicuous) that they do not lend 

 themseves to illustration by plain black and white methods. Parts of 

 the legs, and especially the apical portions of the tibiae, look very 

 different from different points of view. Compare figs. 109-111, 123, 124, 

 127, 128, 135-137, 153, and 154.
