J?. Mesothorax without a pale lateral stripe; second alidoioinal tergite 

 distinctly black at the sides, this colour extending backwards in some individuals 

 to the third or fourth segment. Line 4 of forewing strongly accentuated by nerve- 

 dots, and fringe also with black nerve-dots. External row of spines of first pro- 

 tarsal segment single. Cavity of palpus sharply defined, the scaling round it 

 regular (I'l. LIX. f. 16) ; PI. LIX. f. 15 represents the end of the first segment as 

 seen from the inner side, the second segment broken off ; PI. LIX. f. 27 gives 

 a view of tlie inner surface of the entire palpus. Scaling of antenna olive 

 towards base. 



S . Tenth abdominal tergite gradually narrowed, convex above, apex sinuate, 

 the angles rounded ; sternite obtusely pointed. Clasper with a patch of about teu 

 enlarged scales, arranged in two or three oblique rows, nearer apex than base of 

 clasper ; harpe short (PI. LIL f. 20), obtuse, without free jjrocess, no teeth. 

 Penis-sheath (PL LVIIL f. 4. 5) : the teeth mostly four-pointed, few of them 

 three-pointed. 



Early stages not known.

d ? . Cavity at end of first segment of palpus sharply defined, the scaling 

 regular. External row of spines of the first protarsal segment single, or doubled 

 at base. Of the lines on the forewing only lines 1 and 5 are marked, seldom 

 also line 2, besides the obliijue apical line, which joins line 5. The pale lateral 

 band of head and thorax is obliterated, being vestigial before the antenna ; no 

 lines on the abdomen, but a black basal lateral patch sometimes indicated. 



S. Tenth abdominal segment as in capensis, but the sternite rather more 

 ti'ianguUir. Friction-scales of clasper not numerous, large; process of iiarpe 

 (PI. LII. f. 24) very long, slender. Armature of penis-sheath similar to that 

 of the following species, but the left row of teeth less extended (PI. LVIII. f 12), 

 not beginning apically, but laterally.
