intense in certain directions^ but in others disappear almost com- 

 pletely. Genitalia of the male thick, rather erect, obliquely trun- 

 cated, the claspers bent against each other in an upward direction, 

 like pincers ; when at rest the pointed ends are crossed, forming a 

 rather short tube. Head dark reddish-yellow; the muzzle very long, 

 ending in three points, of which the central is scarcely longer than 

 the side ones. Front next the eyes glimmering white, the muzzle 

 brown below. Antennae short pale yellow, the joints totally bare ; 

 the first lengthened as usual, the second very short, the others 

 diminishing in length and breadth towards the end. Palpi yellowish- 

 red, the last joint darkened and distinctly ringed. Lower part of the 

 muzzle, proboscis, and palpi tolerably covered with hair. Legs 

 brownish yellow, the points of the femora and articulations of the 

 tarsi brown. Wings hyaline, naked, the whole surface shining 

 strongly ; the mediastinal cell and the lower half of the hinder basal 

 cell with perpendicular small folds, so that they appear shagreened. 

 All the veins bordered with brown, as well as five very distinct brown 

 spots ; the first on the base of the basal cells ; the second a little 

 beyond the hinder basal cell, lying close to the discoidal cell, which 

 from this point sends a short vein downward; the third on the origin 

 of the radial vein; the fourth as a double spot round the stigma; 

 the fifth beyond the stigma. A whitish lunate patch, in which the 

 veins are totally faded, reaches from the fore part of the edge of the 

 wing to the discoidal cell. Basis and fore edge of wings tinged 

 reddish-yellow ; the hind part of the border of the wing with a pale- 

 brownish edge, which is less intense round the veins. Poisers yellow. 



Length, 8 lines.

 bordered with remarkable little hairs at the apex. Palpi four-jointed,
