dull brown streaks above the base of the inner margin. A black spot below the median vein before the interior 
line which is double, oblique, and slightly sinuate from the costal margin to the median vein, then standing 
straight. Rings and reniform macula with blackish centres and whitish ochreous rings encircled with black; 
rings round, the reniform macula a narrow lunule. A hazy dark brown median line, oblique to the median 
vein, then sinuate, inwardly curved in the submedian area. Exterior line obsolete above the middle, double
