joints combined, slightly curved; those of the intermediate and posterior legs longer, 

 distinctly longer than the combined length of the three distal joints; posterior tibiae 

 lengthened, about as long as the tarsi, shorter in the case of the other legs ; posterior 

 coxae also lengthened, the femur shortened and somewhat thickened, the coxae and 

 trochanters combined, distinctly exceeding the femur in length; posterior trochanters 

 slenderer and shorter than the posterior coxae, but at least one-half the length of the 

 posterior femur. Tibial spurs minute, more so on the intermediate legs, two on the 

 posterior legs, and largest on the anterior legs. 



Fore wings spatulate, rather broad, and moderately thickly ciliate in the discal 

 portion, excepting the usual naked basal portion and a nearly naked area in the 

 middle transparent portion; discal cilia moderately long, dusky; marginal cilia 

 normal, dusky, moderate in length. Marginal vein as long as the apical tarsal joint, 

 pale brown, a single seta arising from its surface just before apex. Fore wings hyahne, 

 with three fuscous transverse bands across them, the proximal one at the marginal 

 vein, small, irregular, and not conspicuous, the second, the largest, crossing the 

 middle of the wing, regular, subquadrate, conspicuous, ciliate, and the third or distal, 

 crossing the outer fifth of the wing, somewhat irregular, subsagittate, or nearly 

 diamond-shaped, but the caudal margin is confused; both fuscous areae somewhat 

 variable in shape; a portion of the lower middle of the distal fuscous area naked; 

 bare spots on the wing somewhat irregular; the small basal fuscous area naked. 

 Hind wings inconspicuous, linear, and very slender; their apices, and toward the base, 

 dusky; marginal cilia moderate. 



Antennae not as long as the body, funicle fihform. Scape short, thickened in 

 the middle, longer than the pedicel by at least a third; pedicel short, one side convex, 

 about three-fourths the length of the next joint; funicle 1 cylindrical, slender, not 

 one-half as thick as the scape, two-thirds the length of funicle 2; the latter and 

 funicle 3 subequal, but funicle 2 slightly longer; funicle joints 4 and 5 subequal, 

 shorter, not quite as long as funicle I, but exceeding the pedicel and funicle 6 in 

 length; the latter still shorter, distinctly the shortest funicle joint, subequal in length 

 to the pedicel and distinctly thicker than the preceding funicle joints, oval in shape; 

 club apparently undivided, thick, oval, at least twice wider than the scape or pedicel, 

 and subequal in length to, or longer than, funicle joints 2 and 3; the club and funicle 

 joints 2 and 3, the longest joints. Antennae moderately hairy, the setae minute, 

 smooth; tliickening very slightly at funicle joints 4 and 5, more noticeably at funicle 

 6, and abruptly at the club.
