 and fifth segments subequal, second longer than third. Pro- 

 notum lighter colored than head, with longer hairs, anterior margin 

 emarginate, slightly emarginate posteriorly. White " fleur de lis " 

 median marking on pronotum and white suboval marking on

 than to subcosta, branched to apex, cubitus occupying most of 

 the area of the wing; subbranches of cubitus not so thick as in
