292 LEPIDOPTERA. 



curved up to far above the head, aud with the tips curled 

 back, grey-brown ; tibiae of front pair of legs furnished each 

 with a large tuft of long yellow-brown hair-scales, which can 

 be expanded like a fan or laid together close to the limb at 

 will ; tarsi thickly covered with scales almost to the feet ; 

 head and thorax smooth, brown-drab ; fascicles thin, white ; 

 abdomen slender, smooth, grej^-drab; anal tuft very narrow. 

 Fore wings broad and obtuse ; costa gently arched ; apex 

 bluntly angulated ; hind margin faintly curved, very little 

 oblique ; anal angle prominent ; dorsal margin straight ; 

 colour dull drab thickly and coarsely dusted all over with 

 brown ; first line slender, erect, rather bent above the middle, 

 grey-brown ; second line of the same colour, more distinct, 

 placed in the middle of the wing, erect, but forming a strong 

 curve outwards above its middle ; subterminal line more 

 conspicuous than either, brown, almost straight and complete 

 from the costa before the apex to the dorsal margin before 

 the anal angle ; it is, however, more dusted aud less definite 

 than in the two following species: reniform stigma represented 

 by a rather erect curved streak or crescent, which often is so 

 united with the curve of the second line as to form a rounded 

 loop ; extreme hind margin edged by a slender brown line ; 

 cilia olive-brown dappled with paler. Hind wings rather 

 long, the hind margin curved and a little sinuous, dusky- 

 white, clouded from the base with smoky-brown, cut off by a 

 partial central darker transverse line which arises on the 

 dorsal margin ; beyond it is another, rather longer and 

 edged outwardly with white ; cilia smoky whitish-brown 

 with a dull brown basal line ; costal region shining white. 

 Female similar, but with simple antennae and untufted legs ; 

 the abdomen slightly thicker and more pointed. 



Underside of the fore wings dull yellow-brown dusted 

 with paler; dorsal margin yellowish-white ; a faint angulated 

 pale brown transverse line lies beyond the middle. Hind 

 wings yellowish-white ; the central spot small, dark brown ; 

 beyond it are two slender transverse smoky-brown lines ;
