23. Epilampra adjuncta. 



Testacea, fusro conspena, slrigu fronlali picea lanceolata ; anteniue 

 corpore noii breviores ; prolhorax antice nan truncatus, laleribus sub- 

 dHatnlis subum/nlalis, margive postice jlexo ; ulce abdomen longe 

 superiinU's ; aUc poslicce lestaceo-cinerece, alas anlicas paullo 

 superanlis. 



Testaceous, fusiform, smooth, shining, minutely and rather thickly 

 hrown-speckled. Head extending a lilile beyond the prolhorax, front 

 will) a piceous streak which lapers towards the face. Eyes fciruginous, 

 wide apart. Antennae slender, minutely setulose, as long as the body. 

 Pidthorax not truncated in front; sides slightly dilated and angular; hind 

 border with three curves. Legs moderately stout; femora with a lew short 

 slender spines. Fore wings with the veins hardly prominent; humeral 

 area slightly punctured ; costa slightly rounded for more than half the 

 length from the base. Hind wings testaceous-cinereous, extending a little 

 beyond the fore wings. Length of the body 10 lines ; of the wings 24 

 lines. 



The prolhorax is more rounded on each side than that of £. sabulosa, and 

 of E. alligata. The eyes are more approximate than those of E. subconspersa, 

 from which il may also be distinguished by the piceous streak on the front. 

 It resembles^, crocea very closely, but cannot certaiuly be identified with 

 the description of that species. There is no pale streak behind the humeral 

 trunk, and the covered part of the right fore wing is not wholly red, but is 

 merely speckled with that colour.
