rriilhoriiolc Io1)o.m obsoloti'. rattii;lii very small, broad and short, lu-lthor archi'il nor 

 tnmld. c-onslstlnK of a nearly circidnr basal plucv, with a very short and sk-nilcr poste- 

 rior lobe, half as lonst as tho basal portion, binntly polntod. tin- sides strongly hol- 

 lowed at the base. 



Kore wings (40: 11) fnlly three-fonrtlis as long again as broad, the rostal margin 

 slightly convex at the basal and apk-al Mfth, scarcely bent with the niUldle portion, 

 which is nearly straight, the outer angle abrupt but softened; outer margin nearly 

 straight and Inclined at an angle of 4.')° with the middle of the costal border, above 

 the middle subcostal nervule receding slightly In a gentle curve: Inner margin 

 straight, the outer angle well rounded. Costal nervure tenulnatlng a little beyond the 

 miihlle of the upper border; subcostal nervnre with three branches, the llrst arising 

 shortly before the middle of the outer balf of the cell, a little nearer the apex of the 

 cell In the 9 """• '" '■'"^ i< the second arising scarcely fj) or a very little ($) 

 beyond the tip of the cell; the third at about two-llfths the distance from the apex 

 of the cell to the outer margin, forked at the extreme lip in the (f. Cell half as 

 long as the wing and nearly four times as long as broad. 



Illnd wings with the costal margin a little ex|)andcd and roundly angnlated next the 

 base, heyouil gently and regularly convex, the outer angle Inconspicuous. C)nter mar- 

 gin pretty well rounded, more fully In the ^ than in the $, and with a greater pro- 

 portional fulness above than below as compared to tlie other sex. Inner margin 

 nearly straight, the outer angle broadly rounded. Costal branch strongly curved out- 

 ward from Its base ; vein closing the cell striking the subcostal nervure a little nearer 

 Its second divarication than It does the median nervure beyond its second divarication. 



Fore tibiae about threc-llfths the length of the middle tibiae; fore tarsi scarcely 

 shorter than the fore femora and more than three-fourths the lengtli of the other 

 tarsi; hind femora live-sixths (J) or two-thirds ( 9 ) ns long as the nnddlc pair. 

 Basal two-thirds of femora with rather a dense fringe of hairs, long at the base of 

 the femora and growing shorter outward. Tibiae furnished rather sparsely on all 

 sides with not long and slender spines, scarcely arranged in definite rows, and at the 

 tip with a pair of moderately long, not very slender spurs. First joint of tarsi a 

 little longer tlian the three succeeding together, the fifth equal to the second, the 

 third and fourth consecutively a little shorter; all the joints furnished rather abun- 

 dantly with short anil very slender spines, placed in longitudinal rows, of which four 

 are on the under surface, an a|)ical pair on each joint scarcely longer than the rest; 

 claws moderately large, slender, compressed, rather strongly divaricate, gently and 

 regularly curved, bifid nearly to the middle, the upper branch considerably the longer, 

 both finely pointed ; paronychia exceedingly delicate, so as not to be noticed at first 

 sight, consisting of a lamella, broad at base and tapering delicately, not quite so long 

 and partially concealing the claw on a side view, finely pointed ; pulvlllus wanting. 



Second segment of abdomen twice as long as the first and considerably longer than 

 the third; beyond regular, the eighth being equal to the seventh, slightly notched in 

 the middle of Its posterior margin above in the male. Upper organ of male appen- 

 dages pretty large, stout, tapering throughout, curving a little, the hook and centrum 

 about equal, the apex of the centrum bearing beneath a stont, compressed landna, 

 — the combined lateral arujs. Cla-sps much broader than long, roundly and broadly 

 produced at the upper outer portion, and inclined upward as well as backward. 



Egg. Ijirgest at or a little below the middle, and tapering above, at first gradually, 

 afterwards with Increasing rapidity, to the truncate summit, which is much less than 

 half as broad as the base, which is Itself considerably smaller than the middle of the 

 egg on account of the ba.sal tapering in the lower fourth ; Interspaces between the eggs 

 broken up by cross lines Into quailrangular cells, about twice as broad as high. Only 

 alcoliolii specimen-- seen. 



Mature caterpillar. Head moderately small, very regularly ronndcil, broadest at 

 the npperllmltof the ocellar field, but scarcely narrower on the sides above it, scarcely
