longitudinal bands are continued upon the relatively narrow forehead, 
but never coalesce there. Over the middle of the convex clypeus 
passes a broad brown band divided into two parts in the middle line 
by afine yellow line. Clypeolus yellowish. Upper lip black-brown, 
at the sides brown. Cheeks whitish. Inner lobe of maxilla shown 
in fig. 103. Maxillary palp without spurs, whitish, the first jomt 
and basal half of second joint brown. Eyes relatively small, black, 
frequently pale speckled or banded, hairless. Ocelli (fig. 35) very 
small, very near together. Occiput steeply descending, occipital 
margin rounded and emarginate in the middle. Antenne thin, 
about two-thirds the length of the wing, black-brown, the three 
first joints reddish brown; rather sparsely pubescent, somewhat 
more densely towards the apex; the lengths of the eleven (anten- 
nary) joints of the flagellum in millims. are: 0°09, 0°12, 0°14, 
0°12, 0°11, 0°09, 0°08, 0°08, 0°05, 0°05, 0°06. 
Thorax brown, with golden scales in the middle, some silver 
scales at the side, most of the scales lost. Abdomen of dried speci- 
mens brownish. Legs brown, the following parts clear brownish 
yellow: the apices of the coxe, the trochanters, the extreme 
apex of the femora below, the extreme base of the tibiz, the apices 
of the tibize and first tarsal joints, and the very short spurs standing 
out on all sides of the posterior,tibie. The length of the anterior 
tibia is 0°47 mm., that of the middle tibia 0°47 mm., of the hinder 
tibia 1 mm. 
The lengths of the tarsal joints of the fore foot in millims. are 
0°3, 0°05, 0°08; of the mid foot 0°33, 0°05, 0°07; of the hind 
foot 0°52, 0°06, 0°08. The ratio of the hind tarsal joints is there- 
fore as 64: ?: 1. First hind tarsal joint with about 18 ctenidi- 
obothria. Claws (fig. 58) relatively small, one tooth before the 
apex, which is very long and acute, before the tooth about 7 seti- 
form hairs. Femora, tibie, and first tarsal joints squamous. 
The venation is illustrated in fig. 30. Pterostigma very short and 
small, far removed from the ramification of the radial ramus, the 
distal portion of the subcosta remote. Peduncle of the radial fork 
nearly equal to the length of r,;,. The basal portion of the 
radial ramus is lacking in the hind wing, and the radial ramus ap- 
parently arises from the media; 7, is absent (r ends at the place 
where the radial ramus should have been given off). The marking 
of the fore wings produced by the scaling is as follows :—Ground 
colour silvery, a golden longitudinal band through the centre of the 
wing which spreads out in the apical half as far as the hinder margin 
and is interrupted by two or three silver spots ; in the anterior half 
of the wing, in front of the line joining the most anterior portion of
