rate with pale brown, more or less connected spots. In forewings 

 (both sexes) the discal cell is but little, if any longer than its pedicel, 

 and its upper edge is not concave before fork one, and the latter does 

 not go back so far on the discal cell ; in the liindwing the costal area 

 is fully as broad as in minimus^ and in male there is the same elongate 

 pouch near anal margin. 



The tip of abdomen of male has a tuft of black hair above, below 

 a large sloping area clothed with short bristles, this area is paler than 

 in mimmus but with dark outer corners; the median teeth are low 

 and very broad (quite unlike minimus) ; the lower plates are small. 



The hind tibia has the same long, curved, white hairs as in 7iiiniinus. 

 The tip of the abdomen of the female, from above, shows the usual 

 two spinelike processes very far apart and curved toward each other. 



Length of forewing of male, 13 mm.; width, 5 mm.; the female 

 scarcely larger.

Plate 29, Figubes 34, 41, 43 



Body brown, thoracic notum paler through the middle ; erect hair 

 mostly black, some appressed hair on face and vertex yellowish; 

 antennae with basal joint dark brown with black hair, beyond paler; 

 palpi pale brown ; legs pale with black spines, not very long. Fore- 

 wings brown, with many scattered pale spots, none very large, and 

 mostly not connected, few in costal area, hyaline thyridial spot rather 

 large; membrane with short black hair, veins with longer hair, 

 especially the anal veins. Hindwings pale gray, slightly darker 

 toward tip. 



Forewings very short and broad, broadly rounded at tip, costal mar- 

 gin convex, discal cell not as long as usual, but little longer than 

 pedical, fork one not width of discal cell back on discal ; apical cells 

 two and four about equal at base, forks two and three indenting the 

 anastomosis but little; liindwing with no scales visible, but a deep 

 elongate pouch in anal area. Tip of male abdomen shows the usual 

 sloping area, very broad, brown, covered with appressed bristles, 

 above it is a broad tuft of black hair ; below it are the two median 

 teeth, large, broad, truncate at tip, black at their margins, below it 

 the two processes directed toward each other, and tipped with stiff 

 reddish bristles ; the lower appendages or plates are broad and short, 

 longer on outer edge. 



In the female the tip of abdomen from above shows two rather 

 broad, somewhat quadrangular plates, each with a long curved spine.
