cell (where it tinges two short transverse fulvous fasciae that converge and 
join the fulvous discal ban! above third median nervule), and in inner- 
marginal area as far as inner edge of discal band ; this band, beginning 
narrowly close to costa near apex, widens as far as inner margin ; 
lowest hind-marginal spot large, double ; near end of discoidal cell an 
elongate black spot, before which is an indistinct very small blackish
