Imago (55:10). Head moderately small, densely clothed with scales, which are 

 elevated to high tufts behind the anteunae, and furnished also with numerous hairs, 

 above very long and arching forward, behind longest and downward, in front rather 

 long, diminishing in lengtli downward. Front flat, above a very little sunken down 

 the middle, and at the upper extremity a distinct, narrow, rather shallow, longitudi- 

 nal groove; on the lower two-thirds a little full down the middle, at the bottom 

 sliglitly tumid, barely surpassing at a single point the front of the eyes ; less than half 

 as high again as broad, of the width of the eyes as seen in front ; upper border 

 not raised, the corners considerably hollowed in front of the antennae; lower border 

 rather broadly rounded, the sides straight. Vertex scarcely elevated in the middle, 

 laterally buttressing the antennae, well separated from the occiput by a broad, pretty 

 deep, transverse, nearly straight sulcation, deepest in little pits in the middle and 

 behind the antennae; occiput slightly but broadly sulcated along the middle longitu- 

 dinally. Eyes not very large nor full, naked. Antennae inserted with their posterior 

 edge in the middle of the summit, separated from each other by a space equal to the 

 width of the second antennal joint; half as long ag.ain as the abdomen, composed of 

 thirty-one joints of which twelve form the strongly depressed, elongated club, which 

 is about three times as broad as the stalk, four times as long as broad, the first four 

 or five joints increasing very gradually in size, beyond which the club is equal and ter- 

 minates by the rapidly decreasing size of the last two or three joints, which form a 

 very short but pointed cone. Palpi very slender, rather less than half as long again as 

 the eye, the apical joint fully half the length of the penultimate, clothed only with re- 

 cumbent scales, while the rest are densely clothed with erect scales, much the longest 

 beneath and thinly fringed below with long, straight hairs projecting forward and 

 upward. 



Patagia comparatively broad and oval at base, the posterior half forming an equal, 

 slender, straight, very bluntly pointed lobe, scarcely one-third as wide as the base; 

 the whole is fully three times as long as broad, the Inner border slightly hollowed just 

 before the middle, the outer deeply, at the base of the posterior lobe. 



Fore wings (39 : 21) three-fifths as long again as broad, tlie costal margin bent and 

 slightly convex in the middle of the basal third, beyond very nearly straiglit, the tip 

 scarcely curved downward, the outer angle abrupt, but rounded otl'; outer border 

 slightly and regularly curved, inclining at an angle of about 75° to the costal margin; 

 inner margin scarcely hollowed and angulated at the middle, the outer angle rounded 

 ofl'. Costal nervure terminating at the tip of the cell; subcostal with three superior 

 branches; the first arising at the middle of the outer four-fifths of the cell; the second 

 midway between the origin of the former and the apes of the cell ; the third at or barely
