 maxillary palpi 3-segmented. Antennce 8-segmented, with segment 

 2 orange-yellow, other segments uniformly light brown ; segments 

 2, 4, 5, 6 almost equal in length; style about one-half the length of

 which divides at about one-third the length of the wing from the 

 base, the anterior part running parallel and ajDproximate to the 

 anterior part of the ring vein and ending abruptly near the tip, the 

 posterior paralleling and approaching the posterior part of the ring- 

 vein and ending about one-half the wing's length from the end, each 

 branch with a dark-brown marking immediately at its tip. The costa 

 bears a row of about 29 regularly placed spines. Other spines placed 

 as follows : X group of 5 near base of median longitudinal vein ; 2 on 

 either side of wdiere second vein branches from the first, and 3 scat- 

 tered spines about equidistant on each branch vein and in each case 

 one of these spines immediately at the end of the vein ; several rather 

 long spines on scale. Veins of the fore-wing unusually strong and 

 conspicuous, somewhat orange colored near base but fading to yellow
