iu the middle, and two larger pyriform and oblique ones on the occiput. 

 Antennse brown, slender, nearly as long as the wings. Palpi brown. 

 Wings narrow, with the apex dilated and elliptical ; the anterior bright 

 blaeliish-brown, sprinkled with round golden-yellow spots ; the posterior 

 grey, with long coucolorous fringes. Legs brown, the posterior pair 

 fawn-coloured. Superior appendices in the form of a short oblong 

 plate, with a tubercle at the base. Between these appendices there is 

 a flattened plate, almost quadrate ; inferior appendices in the form 

 of a broader plate, slightly turned inwards, somewhat denticulate on 

 the superior edge.*

This large species is darker and brighter coloured than any known 

 species. The antenna) arc longer, and in this respect approach the 

 genus Plectrocnemia of Stephens, but they are more slender, and the 

 wings narrower, than in the single known species of that genus 

 (P. conspersd).

 the occiput, and two others which are puuctiform, more in front near 

 tlie ocelli. Antennae as long as the wings, somewhat stout, pilose ; 

 the basal joint ovate, larger and stouter than the rest ; the second

(• p. flavostictus belongs to the first group of Polycentropus, as explained in tlio Ent. Mo. Mag. 

 Vol. I., page 27 ; viz., that in which the discoidal cell is open in the posterior wings, with the two first 

 coetuUe anastomosing near the middle. The arrangement (but not the form) of the appendices is also, 

 similar to that found in the British species of tliis group. — R. McLachlan.)
