reaching forwards to twice the length of the head ; black, with a white line beneath ; tinely scaly, except at 



the base beneath and the vipper side of the second joint beyond the middle, wliich are clothed with short hairs. 



Terminal joint elongate-conic. 

 Antennce nearly straight, long, slender, about five eighths of the length of the fore wings ; terminated by a slight 



club, occupying aljout one fifth of the length of the antenna?, and which is gradually formed, the tip being 



bent a little outwards, finely grooved beneath. 

 Thorax robust, clothed with very fine short hair; collar as wide as the eyes; wings dark metallic-coloured at the 



base, with numerous black marks, and with a broad brilliant metallic fascia beyond the middle.

thirds of the length of the fore one. Discoidal cell closed, extending to two fifths of the length of the wing. 



Postcostal vein emitting the first and second branch before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell, the 



second being quite close to it ; the third branch arising about two thirds, and the fourth about three fourths, of 



the length of the wing. Upper disco-cellular vein almost obliterated; middle disco-cellular short, curved; 



lower disco-cellular also curved, and slightly oblique, uniting with the median vein at the origin of its third 



branch (which is not dee[)ly arched), and thus closing the discoidal cell.
