Wing with costa jetty black, interrupted by five white spots, 

 the three outer and larger of which involve also the aux. and I, 

 while the remaining two are mere dots near base of costa. 

 Under the long black costal area there are two white dots on II. 

 Kemaining veins mostly white, but beautifully beaded with black 

 interruptions ; fringe black with small white interruptions at 

 each longitudinal junction. 



The two last hind tarsal joints with the apex of the third pure 

 white ; the remaining joints and those of the other legs are 

 apically white banded ; and together with the tibiae and femora, 

 are elaborately adorned with brilliant white dots on a jetty 

 ground, among which three on the hind first tarsals form com- 

 plete rings.

 black, exactly the same length as the palpi, the apical halves of the 

 two last joints of which are pure white, and the remaining joints 

 spotted in the same fashion as the legs ; antennjE black, two-thirds 

 the length of proboscis ; with white verticils, and at the base, white
