70 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



white with narrow basal brown band, penultimate also white with narrow 

 basal brown band, followed by a broad white band, and the remainder of 

 the proboscis brown, divided nearly in half by a narrow white band. 

 About the middle of the exterior brown section is a small yellow spot, and 

 there are a few yellow scales near the base of the palpus. Eyes brown; 

 clypeus brown. 



Thorax light brown, with white (frosty) tomentum, a dark median 

 line, and sparsely covered with golden-brown hair-like scales and a few 

 flat white ones on the cephalad end ; prothoracic lobes with brown flat 

 scales ; scutellum light laterally, and broad dark med'an line, hair-like 

 golden-brown scales and brown bristles ; metanotum brown. 



Abdomen very dark brown, rather heavily covered with brown 

 (golden brown in some lights) hairs. 



Legs : coxa3 and trochanters all brown, with a few white scales ; 

 femora and tibiae all dark brown, with distinct white spots (6 or 7) on the 

 sides ; metatarsi on fore legs basally and apically white banded, and a few 

 white spots, first three tarsal joints basally and apically white banded so 

 as to make rather broad bands, last joint brown, but giving light reflections ; 

 metatarsi and all the tarsal joints on the mid leg have narrow white apical 

 bands, sometimes the metatarsi have white intermediate spots, and some- 

 times the band on the last joint is lacking ; on the hind leg the metatarsi 

 and tarsal joints, except the last, all have narrow white apical bands, and 

 one or two white spots. These metatarsal and tarsal spots vary greatly in 

 individuals, there being sometimes only one small spot, sometimes several, 

 and sometimes the metatarsal spots are very large so as nearly to cover 

 the apical half of the joint. Oddly enough this occurs in one specimen on 

 one leg and not on the other. Ungues simple and equal. 



Wings markedly spotted, costa mostly dark, a light spot at the apex 

 extending on apex of ist longitudinal, and upper fork of 2nd long, vein, a 

 second spot a little exterior to base of 2nd posterior cell, a third at the 

 junction of the subcosta, a fourth at some distance from the third, and two 

 or three small ones near the base of the wing. The large spots all extend 

 on the I St longitudinal, and there are additional white spots on the ist 

 long, vein in the area between the third and fourth costal spots, and some- 

 times between the second and third costal spots, but so irregularly placed 

 as to be of little value for identification, the two wings of the same insect 

 varying markedly. The wing field is well spotted, about six light spots on 

 the 3rd long., and the other veins spotted in much the same way except 

 the stem of the 2nd posterior cell, which is dark. Fringe is mottled,
