The anal angle also has the darker brown scaling. The pm line is distinct near the costa and inner margin, but becomes weak in between. It meets the inner margin in relative close proximity to the am line. The closed subreniform spot is large and connects to the pm line via a thin line. Image courtesy of Marie Winn, New York. |
