length, are of a greyish-yellowish or yellowish-brown colour. 
There may be no dots whatever, or only a few brown dots 
about the right border, or many scattered all over the surface 
irregularly, or some of these may be arranged in three trans- 
verse rows, or besides other scattered sparse dots, there may 
be two or three obscure transverse bands of brown blotches. 
They are narrower and more cylindrical than the (. piperata, 
Solander, though probably only a variant.
