 greyish, veiy slightly tinged with pale fuliginous, the veins fuli- 

 ginous ; margins of vertex finely ridged ; eyes piceous ; tegmina 

 with the costal membrane sparingly coarsely graiuilose, posterior 

 basal margin of clavus broadly obliquel}'' thickly granulose, the 

 surface of the teginen is not flat but a little unevenly inflated, the

Body and. legs very pale tawny-brown : tegmina pale tawny- 

 brown, obscurely greyishly tomentose, especially on the veins 

 which are very prominent, costal membrane and posterior basal 

 margin of clavus very coarsely granulose, the disk very unevenly 

 inflated, the costal membrane and clavus obliquely divergent, the 

 first deflected, the latter reflected, apical margin distinctly darker 

 brown between the veins ; \iings greyish-white, the venation pale 

 brownish. Differs from 8. sicida in having the posterior angle of 

 the tegmen a little less produced and outwardly recurved, the 

 apical angle considerably less rounded, the costal margin less 

 regularly convex and distinctly sinuate near middle : in the type 

 specimen, which is here described, the apex of the abdomen is 

 furnished with a long white cottony appendage.
