Rule 94. Spaccata in dietro in volta. p87.
Translation of name: 
backwards turning spaccata
Translation: 

Beginning with the left foot in front in passo naturale, as in the figure, turn the body to the left side, and do as in Rule 89 [spaccata in dietro], taking care to turn yourself about half a palm more than in that rule. It is called this because you split turning and backwards.
