Tmaco.—Male. Wings moderately broad. Forewing subtriangular ; costa very 
convex, apex acute, exterior margin very slightly oblique and sinuous, posterior 
margin slightly convex towards the base; costal vein much swollen at the base and 
terminating near middle of the costa ; subcostal arched near its base, the first and 
second branches emitted before end of the cell; the cell short and very broad ; 
discocellulars inwardly oblique, upper angled close to the subcostal, lower radial 
from slight angle above the middle ; the two upper median branches emitted from 
end of the cell, the upper median much arched ; submedian bent close to the median 
at the base, thence slightly recurving to the posterior angle. On the upperside 
between the basal interspace of the lower median and the submedian is an incon- 
spicuous rounded black glandular patch, which, as seen under the microscope, is 
clothed with laxly-raised short black scales,* with many-toothed tips, and by longer 


* We possess three specimens, from different localities, in which these scales have been removed from 
the patch on both wings during the life of the insect, thus leaving the entire patch quite bare,
