Beyond these is a submarginal row of sjiotswhich begin in the usual line of anteapical spots aboutfour-fifths the distance from the base to the apex, butthe two spots opposite the cell are nearer the outer mar-gin, and from these they gradually run nearer the mar-gin, till the last one is close to the posterior angle, asshown in Fig. 91.
