Head and thorax ronghly scaled ; palpi nptnrned, long, and roughly scaled ; 

 eud segment naked ; antennae long, with very fine short cilia ; legs, forelegs 

 with the tibiae roughly scaled with long hairs, a horuy cliitinous hook from 

 its socket with the femora ; midleg with long heavy tufts of coarse carled scales 

 on the femora and tibiae, tibiae with one pair of spines; hindlegs with hairy 

 tibiae having two pairs of long strong spines. Nenlation : primary with vein 3 

 from near the angle, 4 and 5 from the angle or its close vicinity, 6 from below 

 the upper angle, 7 from just beyond the angle, 8, 9, and 10 stalked from 7, the two 

 former near the apex, the latter from nearer the angle than the apex, 11 from near 

 the middle of the cell, strongly depressed so as to nearly touch 7, rising to the 

 costa just in front of 10 ; secondary with 4 and 6 from the lower angle, 5 and 6 

 from the upper angle, a large patch of androconia from vein la to 3. Primary 

 with wings long, wide, of moderately even width ; costa nearly straight ; termen 

 with a slight, even curve ; inner margin produced into a slight arch a third from 

 the base. Secondary triangular, with the termen truncated, quite straight from 

 apex to vein 1 ; costa slightly arched upwards.

c?. Head and thorax ochreous brownish grey, the thorax having a dark patch 

 on the centre and the patagia ; both wings ochreous brownish grey, with dark 

 brown bars and patches. Primary with two or three dark spots and speckles 

 at the base ; a very broad antemediau dark bar below the cell, followed by a second 

 similar one ; a dark patch in front of the toruus, bisected by an ochreous line 

 between veins 1 and 3 ; a subterminal spot between veins 3 and 4, edged by an 

 ochreous line ; a subapical patch between veins 6 and 8, bisected by a twice-scalloped 

 ochreous line ; a small dark spot in tbe cell, with a dark patch at the end of the 

 cell, bisected by a curved ochreous line; termen darkly spotted, the spots with 

 ochreous external edging. Secondary with a dark postmedian bar edged externally 

 with an ochreous line ; preceding this is a trace of a median patch ; between veins 

 3 and 4 a dark spot edged externally with an ochreous line ; termen darkly spotted, 

 spots with ochreous external edging ; the wings are more or less irrorated with 

 dark rough scales, and the ochreous veins interrupt all the markings.

 vertex, end joint lougish, naked ; antennae finely and minutely bipectinate ; legs 

 with hairy tibiae ; hindtibiae broadly flattened and inflated, with a heavy tuft of 

 hairs. Neuration : primary with cell very short, veins 3, 4, and 5 in male 

 converging at three-quarters and lying almost touching each other to the lower 

 angle, 6 from the upper angle, 7, 8, 9, and 10 stalked; secondary with two 

 internal veins ; veins 2, 3, 4, and 5 from the lower angle of the cell, the three 

 latter stalked from one point, and bent upwards from beyond the cell, which is 

 very short and broadish ; veins G and 7 from the upper angle, tlie former bent
