inch (15 mm,). Fore wings elongated, rather pointed, 

 bronzy blackish-brown, 



Antennge one-half the length of the fore wings, much 

 curved, regularly pectinated with curved teeth, which are 

 placed rather close together, dark brown. Head, and the 

 very slender thorax and abdomen, blackish brown, covered 

 with closely set scales rather tinged with bronzy ; abdomen 

 but veiy slightly tufted at the tail. Fore wings rather 

 elongated, as broad as those of F. intermcdidla, but longer and 

 more pointed ; costa very gently rounded and regularly 

 thickened at the edge ; apex somewhat produced and bluntly 

 angulated ; hind margin rounded ; dorsal margin rather 

 straight ; glistening dark bronzy brown, smooth and opaque ; 

 cilia similar. Hind wings elongated, angulated at the apex, 

 dark grey with a faintly-purplish gloss ; cilia rather pale 

 purplish-grey, very shining. Under side similar but more 

 shining ; legs dark bronzy brown. 



Female with the body arched into a mere loop, blackish-

 distinct articulation ; antennae shining brown, slender and 

 drooping ; legs brown, short but well developed ; anal tuft 

 broad and dense, clear white ; ovipositor exserted, hardly so 

 long as in the previous species. Probably resting on the 

 outside of the larva case, as in other species, but I have seen 

 no living example.

Lakva purplish brown with the head black, a black plate on 

 the second segment extending down the sides, and very 

 narrow black plates, hardly more than mere lines, on the 

 third and fourth ; legs dark grey with the claws blackish. In 

 a rather pointed blackish case, formed of silk and covered
