band on the ultimate and penultimate joints, the antepenultimate is 

 distally white, then a broad yellow band occupying most of the joint, a 

 narrow basal brown band, and the remainder of the palpi heavily scaled 

 by brown with some intermixture of yellow scales. Proboscis light, base 

 heavily brown scaled, then a mottled portion extending to the distal third, 

 which is covered with light yellow scales, except a narrow brown band at 

 its extremity, labella light orange ; clypeus testaceous ; eyes brown. 



Thorax : prothoracic lobes testaceous, covered with light and brown 

 flat spatulate scales ; mesonotum light and delicate, with two small 

 submedian or laterad brown spots (not scaled) about one-third the length 

 of the mesonotum from the head, sometimes another pair just cephalad- 

 laterad to these, a suggestion of a brown median line, the whole (except 

 spots) covered with white slender hair like curved scales, a few small flat 

 curved or spatulate scales scattered throughout, more noticeable laterad, 

 especially cephalad of the wing joint, and- at the nape growing into a tuft 

 of long flat curved spatulate scales, a dark median spot in front of the 

 scutellum ; scutellum dark in the middle, side light, brown bristles ; 

 pleura light, with some brown lines ; metanotum light, with median brown 

 stripe. 



Abdomen light or dirty gray, sparsely covered with long flat spatulate 

 white or yellow scales and white or light yellow bristles, heavy lateral tufts 

 of long brown broadly truncate scales on most (6) of the segments, the 

 last segment more heavily white scaled. 



Legs : coxae light, sparsely covered with long spatulate white scales, 

 and white bristles : trochanters light, mostly brown scaled ; femora of the 

 fore legs somewhat thickened a,t the base, in all legs covered with irregular 

 bands or spots of brown and white, and have a very narrow white apical 

 band ; tibiae mottled in the same way, first tarsal (metatarsi) joint also 

 mottled, and has narrow apical light bands more marked on the hind 

 legs; remainder of tarsal joints on fore and mid legs more or less distinctly 

 mottled and having narrow apical light bands ; on the hind legs the second 

 tarsal has a broad apical white band, the third broad apical and basal 

 white bands ; the fourth and fifth marked in the same way ; ungues sim- 

 ple and equal. 



Wings light, and mostly light scaled, on the costa are two tiny basal 

 dark spots, four large brown spots, and a tiny brown spot between the 

 two more proximal larger spots ; all of which extend on the first long 

 vein, and an analogous intermediate spot on the first long vein. Wing- 

 field somewhat spotted, but mostly light scaled ; a dark spot on each fork
