are five marks on successive segments. On the dorsal edge of the sternites 

 are six corresponding marks, rather less distinct than the tergal mirks. 

 Hypopygium light yellow, fleshy apical appendages almost white. 



Wings : Hyaline or nearly so ; veins light brownish yellow ; very pale 

 brown clouds around the base of Rs, around cross- vein r, and in the middle 

 of cell Sc. Venation : Sc ending about opposite the origin of Rs ; Sc« 

 slightly retracted proximad of the origin of Rs, about one-half the length

of Scj. Rs moderately long, about twice the length of the basal deflection 

 of R,..5 ; cross-vein r at the tip of R„ which is abruptly upcurved beyond 

 it, very indistinct; R,.3 and R,., arcuated and parallel; cross-vein ;-//; 

 short, pale; basal deflection of Cu, about equal to Cuj ; Cuj fusing M 

 distad of the fork M.

 Paratype, 3 ^s. He Djerba, Tunis. (One in Museo Torino, two in 

 Cornell University.) 



Remarks : Some venational variation occurs in the paratypes. In 

 some Scj is exactly opposite the origin of Rs, and Scj is only a little shorter 

 than Sc, ; basal deflection of Cu, at the fork of M, or even slightly 

 proximad of it. (See figure.) The relative length of Cu^ and the basal 

 deflection of Cu, varies somewhat, Cuj, however, being generally a little 

 the shorter.
