ous in 3, faintly ochreous-tinged in 2. Leg's wliite ; anterior pair with coxae and 

 anterior surface of femora and tibia ochreous in 6. Forewings triangular, costa 

 gently arched, apex rounded, termen bowed, slightly oblique, more so in ?; white; 

 in 6 sometimes a fuscous spot at tornus, or whole apical and terminal area suf- 

 fused with dark-fuscous; cilia white, in dark examples of the S they may be fus- 

 tous. Hindwings with termen rounded; white; in 6 sometimes with a broad 

 dark-fuscous suffusion over terminal half; cilia white, in dark examples of the 

 c? they may be fuscous. Underside white; in c? a costal streak and apical blotch 

 more or less fuscous, sometimes extensively suffused with dark-fuscous as on 

 upper side. 



The c? is very variable in the amount of fuscous suffusion, but some is 

 always present on the underside of the forewing. This will distinguish it from 

 the c? of A. chionitis, which has an ochreous costal streak from base on underside.

A development of Euproctis, thu venation df the forewings being, that of 



Euproctis and Parthe^ia; the former ha-s 3 and 4 of the liindwings sometimes 



stalked. In the long anastomosis of 8 with cell, it differs from both, and agre."
