DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIES. 271 



borders of the segments. Feet pale clay-yellowish. Wings 

 broad, blackish-brown, with large and small hyaline dots, unequally 

 distributed ; the costal cell is pale brown between the extreme 

 basis and a trifle beyond the humeral crossvein; next follows 

 upon the costa a square brown spot, and then a square hyaline 

 space, somewhat encroaching upon the stigmatical cell, so as to 

 include the end of the auxiliary vein, which runs perpendicularly 

 towards the margin of the wing ; the stigmatical cell is other- 

 wise tinged with blackish-brown and has, close to the anterior 

 margin, two hyaline drops ; immediately beyond the tip of the 

 first longitudinal vein, near the anterior margin, there is a hyaline 

 drop, reaching as far as the second longitudinal vein, the largest 

 in the whole picture of the wing ; in the vicinity of the apex of 

 the wing the drops are larger than in the middle and more close 

 together ; so that a row of clots, reaching from the tip of the 

 second vein to the posterior angle of the second posterior cell, and 

 moreover four dots along the margin of the wing, may be dis- 

 cerned; among the latter, the first lies in the submarginal cell and 

 is connected with a little drop behind the third vein; the second 

 lies at the extreme tip of the wing ; the last two in the second 

 posterior cell ; a second group of larger drops lies in the third 

 posterior cell, immediately below the stigma ; it consists of four 

 drops, between which the black ground color is more or less 

 faint, and of two other drops on the anterior side of the fifth 

 vein; between this group of drops and the fifth longitudinal vein, 

 there is, near the margin of the wing, a single larger drop ; the 

 posterior angle of the wing is brownish-gray, with several rather 

 large limpid drops; the middle of the wing shows only small and 

 isolated drops. The first, third, and fifth longitudinal veins are 

 very closely beset with rather strong bristles ; the second is 

 strongly curved ; the third and fourth diverge towards their end ; 

 the small crossvein is but little beyond the middle of the very 

 broad discal cell, and the posterior crossvein has a very steep 

 position ; the anal cell is drawn out in a narrow and very long 

 lobe.

Observation. — The six bristles upon the scutellum, as well as 

 the dense bristles upon the first, third, and fifth longitudinal 

 veins, distinguish T. poecilogastra from all the following species, 

 provided with a reticulate picture of the wings. It is very
