with closely set reddish-brown transverse striae; a broad interrupted straight 
transverse line from one-third costa to one-fourth dorsum ; a dark median line

numerous white dots from three-fifths costa to four-fifths dorsum; between 
these lines is a large suffused pale ochreous spot ; a subterminal line of dark
