Face greyish with white pubescence, a dark brown spot is 

 present usually, between the antennae and the eyes, but in the 

 series of specimens is often absent or indistinct, the palpi long and 

 slender, pale yeUow with black pubescence. Antennae reddish 

 yellow, short, the first joint short, stout, not so long as the first 

 annul ation of the third joint, the second joint very small, with its 

 upper and lower borders produced to a narrow process crowned 

 with black hairs, both joints with black pubescence, the third 

 joint with the first annulation remarkably broad, flattened out, 

 on its upper border with a distinct angle about half-way up and 

 distinct black hairs on the upper side nearly the whole length 

 (these are denuded to a great extent in the type), they are also 

 visible on the lower border, the three last annul ations almost bi- 

 equal, forming a short apex, some black hairs also visible on them ; 

 between the antennae a dull brown spot is visible. Forehead 

 greyish with some black markings. Frontal callus triangular in 

 shape, its lower margins touching eyes, shining, brown ; the 

 paired spots large, black, not reaching the frontal callus and only 

 touching the eyes at one point in the middle of their outer border, 

 the unpaired spot small, round. Thorax brown with three distinct 

 grey stripes, the outer ones interrupted in the middle, and the 

 sides also grey, breast brown with grey tomentum. Scutellum 

 covered with grey tomentum. Abdomen brown, same shade as 

 thorax, with a narrow median grey tomentose stripe most distinct 

 on the first three or four segments and with round grey tomentose 

 lateral spots, pubescence whitish, short, but when not denuded 

 fairly abundant ; under side brown with grey tomentum and pu- 

 bescence. Legs pale reddish yellow, the femora with some grey 

 tomentum, the fore tibiae brownish, hardly incrassate, pale at base, 

 the middle and posterior tibiae brown with the usual pale 

 rings, the hind tibiae with no distinct heavy fringes of hair, the 

 fore tarsi brown, paler at apices, middle and posterior tarsi 

 more largely pale, the pubescence on femora and pale parts of legs 

 whitish, otherwise black. Wings pale brown, the stigma darker, 

 yellowish brown, veins brown, three rosettes distinct, the apical 

 band single, lineal, starting from a pale blotch at apex of the 

 second vein and reaching across apex of wing in a sinuous course to 

 the posterior branch of third vein, the first four posterior cells with 

 small pale markings at their apices, the fifth with a large pale 

 irregular-shaped blotch filling up the apex, occupying more than a 

 third of the whole space of cell , three more pale bands are visible 

 in the cell towards the base, the small transverse bands at inner 

 border distinct and regular, in axillary angle the curved pale line 

 is V-shaped. 



Group VL 



Third joint of antennae not very broad at base, the first joint 

 short, stout or cylindrical, often only half as long as the third joint 

 or at least never longer than third joint which is usually long and 

 slender.
