6 and 2°. Head, yellowish white; labial palpi, twice marked 
with blackish externally. ‘Collar,’ yellowish, with two super- 
lateral brownish linear marks; tegulae, yellowish, edged with 
brownish hairs. Abdomen, above, whitish, stained with yellowish; 
second and pre-anal segments marked across with brownish. In 
the male, the intervening segments are also shaded with brownish, 
while the abdomen is more tapering, slenderer, and longer than in 
the opposite sex. Beneath, the body parts are silvery white; 
anterior legs marked with blackish on the femora outwardly, while 
the tarsi and short tibiae are constrictedly annulate with black. 
Anterior wings, pale yellowish testaceous, with a slight purplish 
hyaline reflection, particularly observable in the male, and much 
stained with dark scales externally. At base stained with yellow; 
an arcuate, brownish, basal line, followed by a similar, broken, 
lunulated extra-basal line which lies midway between the basal and 
ante-median lines; this latter is arcuate, continued, and even. 
Beyond it, the median space shows three distinct annulate spots: 
two on the disc, of which the outer, the larger, more irregular and 
distinct, and the third, situate below the median nervure and super- 

posed by the first spot, is smaller and spherical—both these latter 
are adjacent to the ante-median line, while the outer, second spot 
is removed towards the outward extremity of the discal cell. On 
internal margin, the median space is washed narrowly by the 
external dark shade which spreads straightly upwards (and is lim- 
ited internally by an obsolete line apparent on the under surface) 
over the median nervules and median space externally, and, reach- 
ing no higher than opposite the disc, extends evenly outwardly 
to external margin, A post-median, finely dentate, outwardly
