 thorax, and abdomen ochraceous ; palpi externally brown ; abdomen beneath and

Col. Swlnhoe, in Tr. Eiit. ,Soc. 1904. p. 519, sinks this species to inaequilinea 

 Warr. ; but that s])ecies has the angulation of both wings in the middle very much 

 more decided than the present : iimi-qmlinea itself, however, must sink to (jumppen- 

 hrnji Moeschl., described as a Hi/posidra, Abh. Sowk. (ie>i. xv. p. 90. tig. 5 (1889).
