Supra means above. So the ridge is above the squama. Picture "fly 4" is getting close to it, but you have to bent the squama it bit downwards to see the ridge. the ridge is visable from a dorsal view. If you have access to specimens of Miltogramma punctata that could be helpfull because that species has clearly visible hairs on the ridge.
