aiitPnnae black, ralpi clull whitish at base, becoming tiiigea more and more with yel- 

 lowi-ili toward the tip, os|),'c-ially on tin: outside, and on the upper lialf of the front 

 largely supplanted away from the eiliies by blotches ((f) or tieeks (?) ot blackish 

 fulisinous scales; down the outer and inner ed^es of tlie outer side a scries of long, 

 blackish l)ristles. increasintr in abundance toward the tip; viewed from above, the 

 palpi are clothed as the upper surface of the head; terminal joint blackish brown. 

 Antennae very dark purplish brown above, at the base of the club more or less llecked 

 with yellowish scales ; beneatli nacreous, shadinsr into pale orange toward the brown 

 and where raeetin;; it in front the joints are orange at tiieir base and blackish at their 

 tips; the apical three-flfths of the under surface of the club Is blackish; tlie crook is 

 brownish yellow, darker toward the club, psiler apically. 



Thorax covered above witli l)rownish olivaceous iiairs and dark brown scales, the 

 prothorax similar to the upper surface of tlie head but of a deeper yellow and with 

 many black scales in the middle; beneath, the thorax is covered with pale, dirty yellow 

 hairs, sometimes tinged witli greenish dusky; femora maroon brown in a median band 

 on the inner side, elsewhere pale orange ; tibiae yellow flecked with brown above and 

 on the inside; leaf-like appendage of fore tibiae pale, glistening, brownish yellow; 

 tarsi brownish yellow, marked rather heavily with brownish above, especially toward 

 the apices of the joints; spurs yellov.dsh, tipped with luteous or reddish lutcous; 

 spines reddish luteous; claws slightly darker; pad dusky. 



Wings above rich dark brown; inner margin of tlie fore viiwjs rather scantily pro- 

 vided with dull olivaceous hairs; at right angles to the costal margin, scarcely beyond 

 the middle of its outer half, a subcostal series of three dull wliitish spots, sometimes 

 scarcely tinged with yellowish, each about half as long again as broad; besides these, 

 there is a small, triangular spot at the base of the upper median interspace and in the 

 lower median interspace a pretty large, square ( ? ) , or oblique, transverse, rhomboidal 

 ( ,J ) spot a little within the upper median one ; there is rarely a minute spot at the 

 lower edge of the subcosto-median interspace, on a line with the median spots and not 

 infrequently a more yellowish, often faint, small, triangular one in the same line on 

 the submediau nervure, its apex toward the base of the wing; there is also often a 

 small, round spot ( ?), or longitudin.al dash {$) sX the lower edge of the cell a little 

 within the last divarication of the median nervure. Discal stigma of male(43 : 17) 

 formed of an inconspicuous, exceedingly slender, scarcely bent or arcuate, blacki.sh 

 streak, extending from the last divarication of the median to the middle of the basal four- 

 flfths of the submediau nervure; it is but twice the breadth of the antennal stalk but 

 appears wider from being accompanied on either side by a narrow, blackish cloud. 

 Outer margin edged with blackish brown. Fringe considerably paler than tlie ground 

 color, infuscated next the base. Hind xmnrja rather abundantly provided with dull 

 olivaceous hairs, especially below the middle of the cell, but not reaching the 

 outer border; some paler yellowish, obscure flecks are occasionally seen in an arcuate 

 series in the middle of the outer two-thirds of the wing, between the upper subcostal 

 and middle median uervules, at least in the ? . Outer margin and fringe as in the fore 

 wings. 



Beneath dark brown, the upper half of the fore wings and the whole of the hind 

 wings tinged with ruddy purplish. Fore wings with the markings of the upper surface 

 repeated, and below the lower median spot more or less flushed with pale; outer mar- 

 gin edged narrowly with blackish. Fringe much as above but tinged sliglitly with the 

 hue of the under surface. Hind vnngs with an extra-mesial, bout series of small, dull, 

 pale yellowish spots, rather distinct in the $ , scarcely perceptible in the $ , extend- 

 ing from the middle of the costo-subcostal to the medio-submcdian interspace, the 

 innermost spot just below the middle of the lowest median nervule; the series is bent 

 at the lower subcostal nervule and the spots increase in size away from it; a small, 

 faint, pale spot sometimes occurs near the tip of the cell of the ?. Outer border 

 edged narrowly with blackish ; fringe as above. 



Abdomen dark brown, sides covered with olivaceous hairs; beneath pale yellow, in- 

 terrupted w ith dusky at the base of the joints. Upper organ of male appendages
