Imago (6: 24, 26). Head covered with moderately long, blackish brown hairs, 

 varied by narrow streaks of wliite scales and hair.s ; eyes encircled with a moderately 

 narrow border of snow white scales, which reach the base of the antennas in front, 

 but fail of reaching it, by the diameter of the bas.il joint, behind : those of eitlier side 

 are nnited by a transverse, slightly curved band of similar scales just above the base 

 of the tongue; the compressed and slightly elevated tuft of hairs on the summit of 

 the head has a median line of slightly longer white or dull white hairs. The b.Tsal 

 joint of the antennae is tightly encircled by a cup of scales, snow white externally 

 and above, dark brown elsewhere; antennae covered with blaclc scales, annulated, on 

 the lower fourth of each joint of the stalk and on the basal three or four joints of 

 the club, with snow white scales ; the edges of tliese annulations are rather even at 

 base, very irregular at apex ; club black with a bronze tinge on the upper surface, 

 mouse brown, most delicately flecked with very short minute gray hairs on the under 

 surface of the male, the Iiase of each joint more or less distinctly banded witli yel- 

 lowish brown, which sometimes expands so as to occupy nearly or quite all of the 

 lower surface ; the whole basal portion of the under surface of the club is profusely 

 flecked with white scales, which run u]) liighest on the outer side ; the terminal three 

 or four joints of both sexes are entirely honey yellow, sometimes slightly infuscated, 

 but at all times have a fulvous appearance to the naked eye. Palpi covered with 

 snow white scales on the inner face and under edge of ba,sal and middle joints, on 

 scarcely so much as the lower half of the outer face of the middle joint, on the base 

 of the upper and sometimes of the inner portion and on the extreme apex of terminal 

 joint, elsewhere with very dark slate brown scales. Tongue luteo-fuscous, edged ex-
