J 9 . Resembling in colour sericeipptinis ; much smaller ; the submargiiial line 

 fif the Ibrewiug nearly as in maculifera ; both sexes without dorsal line on the 

 abdomen, but the 6 has a dorsal jiatch on segment 8. The subbasal costal patch 

 of forewing is wider than the posterior patch. The discal line of the forewiug 

 stands nearer the cell than in ochraceu, and the cellular i)ortioii of the distal 

 submedian line extends to the lower angle of the cell. 



6- The eighth abdominal sternite is mesially rounded (PI. XXII. 29). The 

 liarpe (PI. XXXI. f. 15) resembles that of sericeipennis, but the distal process 

 {pc) is shorter, not curved ventrad, the cone pm of the submesial dental ridge is 

 not quite si> high, acutely pointed, the tip turned ventrad. The pt^nis-sheath 

 (Pi. XXX. f. 8) differs marke^ily from that of serkeipfnnis ; the dorsal proc-ss 

 is short and ditferentiv shaped, and is armed with a tiense row of teeth exrended 

 to the end of the process ; the ventral teeth, situated at the edge of a fold of the 

 membranaceous part of the penis, are larger ; there are two very heavy ones, 

 preceded distally by a number of small ones ; the ridge, or fold, is turned dorsad 

 in the specimen from which the figure was taken ; this position is owing to the 

 duct protruding partly from the sheath. The tenth sternite agrees with that of 

 sericeipennis. 



?. Vaginal plate with the ridge in front of the cavity mesially produced into 

 a long broad lobe, which is asymmetrically sinuate in the specimen dissected ; 

 cavity large, its hinder wall mesially raised to a transversely carinate tubercle ; 

 distal edge of plate broadly rounded ; the plate agrees best with that oi maculi/era> 

 but the mesial lobe is much broader.
