The basal line is usually marked by a dot on the costa; but tiiat is not always present. The I tiiiiisverse anterior line is marked by a distinct black cot. al spot and by a small angulated mark below the cell. Occasionally there is a dusky shade on the inner margin.

The transverse posterior line is usually broken, but occasionally it is almost continuous, sinuate, and as a whole follows the outer margin. When the line is broken it con- sists of a series of somewhat lunate spots opposite the cell, and a lunate inaik in the submedian interspace, which is crossed by a more or less obvious black dash, though this may be entirely wanting.
