Imago (6 : 19, 22). Head covered above and behind with long, overarching, coarse, 

 brazen t.awny hairs, with a few scattered white ones ; in front with black scales, inter- 

 spersed sparsely with dark brownish red hairs ; a rather broad band of snow white 

 scales encircles the eye and basal antennal joint, excepting the back of the antennae; 

 it is slender in front of and above the antennae, and the two are nearly connected by 

 a similar band just above the tongue. Basal joint of antennae naked, blackish; stalk 

 and base of club black, conspicuously annulated with white at the base of each joint, 

 more broadly beneath than above, extending in a confluent, angulated streak over the 

 whole under surface of the base of the club, and sometimes prolonged delicately to 

 the colored tip; rest of club dark velvety brown, the terminal two or three joints 

 luteous. Basal and middle joints of palpi gr.ay, with intermingled black and white 

 scales, greatly elongated into a tuft, frequently with an infusion of long, luteo-ferru- 

 ginous scales, the black scales the longer; above, and also the terminal joint black, 

 with but few intermingled white scales ; extreme tip white. 



Thorax covered above with exceedingly long, fine, tow-colored hairs, sometimes 

 tinged with a very pale greenish blue, the patagla with very pale brown, dull hoary 

 and a few scattered dull ferruginous scales ; beneath, covered profusely with moder- 

 ately long, hoary hairs, with some interrupted, short, brownish ones. Legs blackish 

 or dark brown, the femora almost entirely concealed by a profusion of snow white 

 scales and tufts of rather long, white, and testaceous hairs on the under border, the 

 tibiae with a similar covering of white scales, especially on the inner side, but less 

 frequent, the outer side having generally one or more distinct dark patches ; tibiae 

 above with a slender annulation of white scales at the tip of each joint and a few 

 scattered scales in the middle of the upper surface of the basal joint ; beneath yel- 

 lowish brown ; spines black ; claws dark reddish yellow. 



Wings uniform dark, glossy, slate brown, with a very faint olivaceous reflection; 

 either occasionally the base of the costal border of the fore wings, more or less of 

 the anal angle, and sometimes the tip of the lower median nervule of the hind wings 

 tinged delicately and faintly with ferruginous {$)■■, or, occasionally, the base of the 

 costal border of the fore wings, and more or less of the centre of the outer half of 

 both wings (on the hind wings especially toward the anal area) tinged distinctly but 

 rather delicately with tawny ferruginous, the veins blackish ( $ ) ; fringe dark brown, 

 with a central whitish line, most conspicuous near anal angle of hind wings, the 

 darker parts sometimes interrupted with whitish at the interspaces, and especially on 

 the upper half of fore wings ; internal border of hind wings with a fringe of pale 

 browTi hairs, tawny at the anal angle; discal spot of fore wings of male very long 

 (1.75-3 mm.), three or four times as long as broad, subfusiform, rounded at either end, 

 blackish brown. The upper half of the cross vein connecting the first and second in- 

 ferior subcostal nervules of the fore wings is bent strongly inward In passing upward, 

 partaking to a certain extent the downward curve of the veins at this point, seen in 

 the male. Costal margin of hind wings slightly concave, its outer angle abrupt, 

 scarcely rounded, the outer border slightly and roundly angulated in the middle, even
