cousisting of a series of black points with yellow iuterruptious. 

 It begins at the junction of radius and subcosta and ends 

 at the spot where the anterior border curves backwards. 

 The outmost series of gradate veins is divided into two 

 portions, the first portion consists of 5 veins and begins 

 at the middle of the pterostigma. The second portion lies 

 more towards the base, it consists of 3 veins and ends 

 on the upper cubitus. On the lower cubitus are two cross 

 veinlets which are very dark black and have the ap- 

 pearence of large black points. All margins of the forewings 

 with grey villosity, which is the longest on the hindborder 

 near the base, 



Hindwings lanceolate, broader towards the apical part, 

 membrane grey, all veins yellow, costal area with simple 

 veinlets, black, in the enlargement near the base, they 

 are more distinct than in the rest of the costal area where 

 they are poiutlike. The pterostigma as large as in the fore- 

 wings, but only with some few black spots, its veinlets 

 are distinctly furcated. There are 3 gradate veins in the 

 lower part of the broad apical portion of the wing.

The male is distinct from the female by the broader 

 wings, by the darker and longer ciliated legs and by the 

 appendices.
