There is also a small black tuft on the fold in the middle and small blackish opposite spots on the costa at three-fourths and the tornus. A black dot is found in the disc at four-fifths and there is an elongate inwards oblique black mark from the costa near the apex, as well as minute linear black marks on the costa posteriorly and on the termen.
