Pale postocular spots linear-cuneiform, not confluent with the pale 

 color of the rear of the head, being separated therefrom by a broad 

 bar of black across the rear of the head above. 



Middle prothoracic lobe in dorsal view predominately black, a yellow 

 or orange spot each side, no median twin spots or stripes. 



Width of black middorsal thoracic stripe about .87, of pale ante- 

 humeral about .26, of black humeral about .55 mm. 



Second lateral thoracic suture with a black stripe on about the 

 upper five-sixths of its length, continued as a thread of black to the 

 inferior end of the suture.

9 . Mesostigmal lamina largely black, with a pale stripe which 

 includes the dorsal tubercle and extends downward and slightly for-

 than the upper five-sixths of its length, continued as a thread of black

 parallel or narrowing caudad, and extending from the base to from 

 two- thirds to three- fourths the length of the segment.

 a distance about equal to to slightly greater than the length of Cu-A.

 at or near the fifth postnodal in 5 male and 8 female wings; M2 

 hind wing arising at or near the fourth postnodal in 10 male wings 

 and 8 female wings; Mia front wing arising at the seventh postnoda! 

 in 10 male wings and 2 female wings, at the eighth postnodal in 6
