rather paler and their black spots are smaller than usual.

costa very slightly convex; apex pronounced; inner margin thinly 
ciliated; costal nervure short, ending about middle; subcostal nervure 
four-branched, — first and second nervules emitted before extremity of 
discoidal cell, — third and fourth at origins much nearer to extremity 
of cell than to apex (fourth ending at apex) ; discoidal cell of moderate 
width, rather short ; upper radial nervule joined to subcostal nervure 
at extremity of cell ; disco- cellular nervules almost vertical, — lower
