Wings: cells C and Sc light j'eUow, remainder subhyaline; veins 

 brown except where covered by spots; brown spots located as follows: 

 a rounded oval spot at base of Rs, a spot in stigmal area in cell 

 second Rj, a triangular spot along the deflection of R^+j. Vena- 

 tion: Sc, long, as in the subgenus; space on costa between Sc, and 

 R, shorter than the crossvem r— m. Rs extremely arcuated at its 

 origin, then running parallel with R, and in a direct line with R3; 

 R2 short, tending to be abortive; basal deflection of M,+2 shorter 

 than the basal deflection of M3; Mj+CUi shorter than r-^m.

 suture reduced to a narrow impressed line, shaped somewhat like an 

 inteiTogation point, anteriorly brown, posteriorly, and a rounded 

 area near the pseudosuture greyish-yellow, extreme cephalic margin 

 of the sclerite gray; a narrow dark brown median stripe; a broader 

 brown lateral stripe, anteriorly close to the median vitta, beyond 

 the pseudosuture divergent toward the lateral margin of the sclerite; 

 scutum light grayish-brown, lateral margin dark chestnut-brown, a 

 continuation of the broad lateral praescutal stripes; scutellum and 

 postnotum dull yellow, with a narrow, indistinct brown median 

 stripe. Pleurae yellowish, with a gray bloom; a dark brown stripe 

 extending from the sternal region of the head across the pleurte, 

 encroaching on the base of the fore coxa, and extending to beneath 

 the wing-basis. Haltcres short, stem yellowish, knob rather brow-ner. 

 Legs, coxae pal^ whitish-yellow; trochanters yellow (rest of legs
