Generaliy similar lo Ihe type of the subgeuus, L. mahgasija, difTering 

 as follows : 



Size smaller, especially the wings. Antennal flagellum longer, entirely 

 iight yellow ; head dark grey, pale giey adjoining the eyes and on the an- 

 terior part of the verlex. Mesonolal praesciilum hrownish grey with but 

 three dark brown stripes , the médian stripe being entire. The wing- 

 pattern is generaliy similar to L. malagasya , subhyaline, wilh interrupted 

 brown bands at the level of the origin of Rs , at the cord and at the wing- 

 apex, but the interspaces which are uniformly'whitish in /«ft/rtgy/syrt are hère 

 heavily dotted with pale brown, and the brown bands are more broken up 

 so the gênerai edect of the pallern is of an abondant dotting with a heavier 

 clouding at the crossbands. Venalion : R'2 + ?, shorter and less arcuated; 

 ceW ist M<2 less elongate, the basai defloction of Cui just beyond midlenglh. 



Abdomen dark brown, darkest sublaterally, the caudal and latéral mar- 

 gins of the tergites very narrowly paler brown.

 stigma. 



Mak. — Length, 10 mm.; wing, about i3 mm. 



Described from an alcoholic spécimen. 



Mouthparts very smali ; palpi dark brown , the basai two segments more 

 yellowish. Antennae of the maie very elongate, greatly exceeding the 

 entire body, when entire presumably being at least four times as long as 

 the body ; first scapal segment very large , as in E. tumidiscapa Alex, and 

 other related species; antennae pale brown basally, flagellum dark 

 brownish black, the first segment a liltle paler basally; the llagellar seg-
