Not having seen specimens of this species I translate the 

 original description from (iermar and Zincken's Magazvn der 

 Entorrwloyie. Professor P. C. Zeller remarks in his monograph 

 that he had seen a single specimen from Zincken's collection. 



u Agrees in size and form with Chilo gigantellus, dirty ashen gray 

 with a silky lustre. The aslien gray palpi are as long as the thorax ; 

 the antenna' ashen gray, black beneath, with two rows of tine, short 

 lateral hairs. The anterior wings are more obtuse than pointed, of a 

 uniform dirty a-hen gray color above and beneath, with 8 row of 8-9 

 black points before the fringes, and a single similar point in the middle 

 of the upper surface. The posterior wings are hardly paler than the 

 anterior pair, and have on both Bides before the fringes a row of black 

 points, which are prominent and distinct near the apices, becoming 



fainter and nearly obsolete towards the anal angle. Head, thorax, abdo- 

 men, and the very long legs ashen gray. This specimen is a male, and 



the female probabli has pointed wings. Found near Savannah,
