Imago (16 : 7, 9). Head covered above rather densely with rather short, equal, deli- 

 cate, pale rufo-brownisli hairs, more rufous beliind than in fi'ont of the antennae ; eyes 

 broadly bordered posteriorly with dirty white scales, tinged, especially above and away 

 from the eyes, with brownish yelloAV. Palpi on the basal half and lower portion of apical 

 half, white; the erect hairs of the upper surface, except near apex of palpi, pale; 

 sides of apical three-flfths of middle joint pale luteo- fulvous ; apical joint tlirougliout 

 a little darker, darkest above. Antennae dark brownish fulvous above, fuliginous 

 toward the base of each joint, beneath luteo-fulvous, the apex of each joint on the 

 upper outer surface witli a white spot; basal two-tliirds of club black above, cov- 

 ered with brownish fulvous scales; beneath like the lower surface of the stem; 

 apical third of club (the last six to eight joints) very pale clear yellow, immaculate; 

 tongue luteous. 



Prothoracic lobes covered with pale mouse brown hairs, considerably tipped with 

 ruf o-broAvnish ; thorax covered above with rufo-fulvous and olivaceous hairs, beneath 

 with shorter, dirty white ones; fore legs covered with long white hairs, excepting on 

 the upper surface of tibiae and tarsi, where they are luteo-fulvous ; other tibiae and 

 tarsi, and to some extent the anterior portion of the femora, dull, pale brownish ful- 

 vous ; spurs ruf o-luteous tipped with pale rufous ; spines ruf o-luteous ; claws ruf o-

Wings above dark, more or less obscure tawny, marked with blackish brown. Fore 

 icings with two transverse sinuous series of more or less rounded pale spots on the 

 outer half of the wing; the inner series consists of a I'atlier regularly sinuous series of 

 six medium sized, subequal, subtriangular spots, their apices outward, the lower double; 

 the upper three are in the two lower subcostal and the subcosto-mediau interspaces in a 

 slight curve opening inward, at right angles to the costal margin and midway between 

 the first divarication of tlie median and the apex of the wing; the next two are nearer 

 the base of the Aving, in the median interspaces, the lower a little within the upper; 

 the lowest is in the medio-submedian interspace, in the middle of the outer three-flfths 

 of the interspace, its inner border on a line with the outer border of the spot above; 

 the outer series consists of five smaller, quadrate spots, occupying the same interspaces 

 excepting the medio-submedian; the upper one is a little less, the one next below a 

 little more, than half Avay from the spots of the inner row to the outer border; the
