A transverse, median, slightly sinuate band, projecting a little

A conical sutural band reaching the scutellum and dilated 

 behind as far as the third stria proestcms. 



A transverse bisinuate fascia extending along the suture in a 

 narrow triangle on the anterior part, and behind in a narrow

The transverse band very broad, produced triangularly

A posterior subquadrate patch reaching the fourth stria and 

 connected behind with the outer margin by a narrow line . . . . venator. 



A posterior subquadrate patch reaching the fifth stria . . . . incertiis. 



A posterior patch, slanting from the suture to the seventh 

 stria, and rising a little from there to the outer margin . . . . iiosticcilis. 



The posterior patch extending from the median part to the
