 caudal tibia fuscous. Antenna- dnsky yellowish, the cbib and ilist.al two fnnicle joints yellowish 

 white. Fore wings with a straiglit-margined brown stripe across if at the subniarg'inal vein 

 just out from apex where the stripe itself is accciitcl in tlic f,,rm of a deeper colored roun.l 

 .spot by a roundish cluster of hooklet-like black spines: distad a very large subspherical 

 brownish spot across the wing from the postni.arginal vein, the mid.lle of its proximal margin 

 narrowly joining tlie middle of the proximal stripe so that when looking up the wing (apicad) 

 the large spot looks not unlike the bag of a gas balkxm attached to the basket below it. Thorax 

 with polygonal reticulation (scaliness). the scutum with olmaire thimble punctures. First

Female: — Difters from Lrlapx Haliday in that tlie anteniuv arc l.i-joiuted with two 

 very short ring-joints, the club only l' jointed. ScutclUim witli a ]iunctate cross-suture at 

 distal two thirds. I'eticjie of abdomen distinct, plaiidy longer tluin wide, segment 2 occupying 

 about half the surface. Parapsidal furrows curved, converging caudad, not quite complete 

 caudad and tending to join tliere obtusely, barely missing caudal margin; the short, semi- 

 circular parapsides are thus narrowly connate caudad, the scutum obtusely conical distad. 

 Distal segment of abdomen long-conical, over half the length of segment 2, the ovipositor 

 slightly exserted. Mandibles tridentate. Antenna' inserted on a line with the ventral ends of 

 the eyes. Marginal cilia of fore wing sliort. M.-ixillary [lalpi 4-joinle(i. tlie last joint much 

 fhe longest; labials .'J-jointcd.
