bent-up front margin on either side of the median line. Scapular 

 shields hairy, small; cross-suture transverse. Wings very large 

 (forewing 27 mm. in length, by 4 J mm. in width; hindwing 16 J 

 mm. in length, by 5 mm. in width), below the base of the costal 

 and the entire length of the subcostal nervures deep yellow, 

 giving the front margin of the wing a conspicuous tinge of colour; 

 oblique nervures dark brown, the rest of wing dull ochreous. 

 Forewing : costal and subcostal nervures stout, running nearly 

 parallel to the apex; median nervure running through the upper 

 half of the wing, slender, number and position of nervelets very 

 variable, and rarely alike in the same pair of wings; submedian 

 nervure slender, running through the middle of the wing for 

 about one-half its length, number of oblique nervures variable (9 

 to 12), most or all of which are very stout, simple or bifurcated, 

 rarely alike in the same pair of wings. Hindwing : costal and 

 subcostal nervures similar to forewing, median nervure stouter 

 than in forewing, with several short, oblique nervelets running 

 towards the subcostal, the number, form, and position of the 

 main branches very variable, and usually differing in the same 

 pair of wings; submedian nervure as stout as median, oblique 

 nervures very stout and variable as to number and form, and 

 of ten differing greatly in 'the same pair of wings. Legs strong, 

 hairy, inner margin of tibiae fringed with numerous bristles; 

 tibial spines and claws long. Abdomen nearly cylindrical, 

 broadly rounded at the tip, covered with fine golden pubescence; 

 cerci short, hairy. 



!Soldier.— Head reddish-brown; thorax and antennae brownish- 

 yellow, base and apex of each antennal segment, from the second 

 to seventh, white- banded; legs and rest of insect stramineous. 

 Length, 3 J mm. Head large, rounded behind and on the sides, 

 sloping abruptly to the base of the snout (head wider, and more 

 rounded than in E. pastiiiator)^ a few fine hairs on tip of the 

 snout, and long, scattered bristles on the rest of the head. An- 

 tennae 14-jointed, moderately long; 1st joint moderately long, 

 stout, nearly cylindrical, with a few hairs; 2nd less than one-half 

 the length and width, nearly cylindrical, with a few short hairs; 

 3rd shorter than 2nd, more hirsute; 4th to 6th about the same
