towards and over each side ; on the 2nd segment towards each 

 anterior corner is a circular spot of j^ellowisli- white scales ; tliis 

 pair of spots is duplicated on the 3rd and 4th segments, the scales 

 forming them being less yellow on the 3rd segment and nearly 

 white on the 4tli ; 5Lh segment bearing no white spots, but 6th and 

 7th each with a similar pair of white scale-spots ; sides of 2nd 

 segment with long yellow hairs anteriorly (as in 1st segment) and 

 black hairs posteriorly ; sides of remaining segments with thick 

 black pubescence. Venter black, with small closely impressed 

 black scales and thin black pubescence; sexual organs too con- 

 cealed for observation. Legi wholly blade, with ordinary pubes- 

 cence ; tibiae with obvious closely impressed small black scales and 

 two distinct rows of bristles on hind pair, with numerous others 

 more or less arranged in longitudinal rows ; hind femora with a 

 little soft black hair and a row of distinct, faii'ly hmg bristles on 

 underside. ^Y'mgs with about anterior half deep blackish brown, 

 the colour filling the marginal cell except the tip, thence running 

 parallel to the hind margin of the wing, filling half tl.e 1st 

 posterior cell ; thence retreating, tilling barely half the discal cell ; 

 thence extending to the hind angle of the w iiig, filling half the 

 anal and axillary cells. An oval spot at tip of 2nd vein, joining 

 the costa and also the extremity of the costal darkening ; a spot 

 at fork of 3rd vein, another over the cross-vein joining the 2nd 

 vein, and anotlier over the posterior cross-vein ; all the spots 

 concolorous and contiguous to the main expanse of colour. Alar

The wing-markings are very nearly similar to those of £'.«)iHrt»-
