There are three ochreous-white fasciae, becoming silvery-metallic on the lower half, the first from the costa at one-fourth, outwardly oblique, the second median, vertical, including a dark fuscous dot above the middle, the third from three-fourths of the costa, inwardly oblique, interrupted in the middle.
