B (alba), uniform white.

C (tritaeniata), yellow with 3 brown bands, the middle one sometimes lost.

D (trizona), white with 3 bands.

E (interrupta), like D, but the bands interrupted and reduced to rows of spots.

F (confluens), like D, but the bands more or less widened and confluent.

G (fusca), uniform brown by widening and union of the bands, except for a white sutural line.
