wings, being a little indented on the lower side ; beginning at the anterior edges near the upper corners, 

 and meeting at the body on the abdominal edges. 



Under Side. Palpi, breast, sides, and legs ash-coloured; all the white parts appearing broader and 

 larger on this side than on the upper ; the lines along the external edges are broader, and the dark parts 

 of the wines have a few whitish marks on them that are not seen on the other side. The wings are a 

 little dentated. 



The Melicerta of Fabricius and the Encyclopedie Methodique appears to be a distinct 

 species, having the base of the anterior wings spotted with white. I have restored Drury's 

 name to the present insect, as it has the priority.
