reddish, margined dorsad, along the occipital margin, with yellowish ; 

 ocelli ruby-red, with some yellow ; tegulae pallid. Antennse white, the 

 dilation or exfoliation (only) of the scape, the base of the pedicel 

 dorsad, and the first funicle joint black. Venation pallid yellowish. Legs 

 white, with a tinge of yellowish, the apical tarsal joint darkened. 



Mesopleurum slightly reticulated. Marginal cilia of fore wings short, 

 those of the caudal margin of the caudal wings longer; stigmal vein 

 capitate ; area of the fore wing proximad of the oblique hairless line or 

 streak densely ciliate, as in the larger portion of the wing apicad of the 

 streak, excepting at the caudal margin, proximad ; the oblique hairless 

 streak does not extend quite to the caudal wing margin, and is broadest 

 at its caudo-proximal end ; spurious veins inconspicuous, not breaking the 

 ciliation of the wing. Tegulse longitudinally rugulose. 



Scape as long as the pedicel, and the first three funicle joints com- 

 bined ; pedicel obconic, not quite twice as long as it is wide at apex, 

 nearly as long as the combined length of the first two funicle joints, which 

 are subequal and shortest of the antennal joints, and narrower than the 

 apex of the pedicel ; funicle gradually widening to the club ; funicle joint 

 3 longest of the funicle joints, slightly shorter than the pedicel, wider than 

 joint 2 and narrower than joint 4 of the funicle; the latter still longer than 

 wide, shorter than the preceding joint but wider ; funicle joints 5 and 6 

 subquadrate, shorter than joint 4, and distinctly narrower than the 

 proximal club joint. Basal joint of the club longest of the three, the 

 intermediate joint shorter but widest, and the apical joint shortest and 

 narrowest, obtusely conical. Antennae pubescent.
