 the fissures, and the inner lateral and posterior margins, l)lack ; a fuscous spot on lateral margins at 

 posterior angles, and a small central black spot on posterior margin. Mesonotum dark ochraceous, with

 membrane ochraceous; the transverse veins at the bases of the second, third, fifth and seventh apical 

 ai-eas infuscated. 



The rostrum reaches the posterior coxse ; the face is obscurely sulcate and striate.

This species is allied to the preceding, T. nliiru-osta, from which it differs by its smaller 

 size, the colour and shape — best explained by liguref — of the opercula, the fasciated abdomen, 

 and relative lengths of the first and second apical areas to tegmina, the first iu T. pri/cri 

 being about twice the length of the second.

<? . Body above greenish-ochraceous ; head with the margins of front and apical angles of vertex 

 fuscous ; the area of the ocelli, an oblique fascia on each side, and a small spot at inner margins of eyes, 

 black. Pronotum with two central fascite united posteriorly, the fissures, a spot on lateral margins, extreme 

 edge of posterior margin and a spot on each side of same, black. (The diseal coloration of the pronotum 

 in the specimen described is l)ro\vnish-ochraceous.) Mesonotum with a central linear fascia with a shorter 

 one on each side, followed by a small obconical spot and a sinuated sublateral fascia, black ; two small 

 spots in front of the cruciform elevation and the angles of same black. Abdomen with the posterior segmental 

 margins, a broad central dorsal fascia, and a macular lateral fascia, very dark fuscous ; extreme apex

Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation fuscous or ochraceous ; tegmina with the costal 

 membrane ochraceous; the transverse veins at the bases of the second, third and fifth apical areas 

 infuscated, and a marginal series of small fuscous spots situate on the longitudinal veins to apical 

 areas. 



Face globose, centrally sulcated except at base, where there is a slight callosity ; lateral striations 

 profound; rostrum slightly passing the posterior coxfe.

■■ Named after its late discoverer, Mr. n. J. S. Prver, who made his rosidouce in Japan nieuionible to naturahsts, and of 

 whom it was said, " It is no exaggeration to state tliat he had become tlie twiihority , /a<- He pr incept, on all iiucstious connected 

 with the birds, butterflies, and moths, wliilst at tlie same time he had acquired a njost extensive knowledge and store of facts
