 4 very thin, o heavier, reaching together with the tip of the wing, all tbe lines

S ? . Antenna of ? with very faint indications of combs of ciliae. (Spurs 

 of midtibia nearly ecjual, the external one very little shorter than the internal. 

 Thorax without grey middle Hue, mesothoracic tegula with tawny line. Abdomen 

 with a lateral band on segments 3 or 4 to 7, tawny, streaked with ochreous scales. 

 A blackish i)ostcostal cloud near apex of cell, fourth line the heaviest, lines 1 to 3 

 abbreviated in front, less so behind, line 5 rather heavy, broken at R^, interspace 

 between 5 and 6 from R^ to SM- somewhat ochraceous. Underside of wings reddish 

 tawny, more or less shading into ochreous distally, brown marginal band sharply 

 defined, prominent. 



S. Tenth tergite broader than in the jjreceding species, much less compressed 

 apically, truncate-sinuate, angles rounded ; steruite also broader, obtusely rounded, 

 middle of apical margin projecting a very little. Process of liarpe curved uinvards 

 at end, compressed, slender. Dorso-apical margin of penis-sheath produced into a 

 sharj) dextro-lateral tooth : on the left side tiiere is a small ridge bearing a few 

 teeth, the armature being similar to that of (/rrmen (PI.. LVII. f. 7).

c? ? . Antenna of ? andromorphic. External spur of midtibia a little shorter 

 than internal one. Colour of thorax and head characteristic : the dark brown 

 dorsal border of the mesothoracic tegula continued over pronotum and head. 

 Mesonotum and abdomen with a brown mesial line ; abdomen, besides, with a 



subdorsal line and a broad dorso-lateral band. Forewing with a blackish patch

 four instead of three lines proximally of the main line ; line 5 interrupted, heavy, 

 stopping at R- or a little beyond, and reappearing behind, internal margin shaded 

 with black in distal half, especially between lines 4 and 0.
