10, like 9, dark orange or reddish brown, a median longitudinal 

 black line. Seen from the side i is entirely yellow except a nar- 

 row posterio-inferior border of black; 2 is largely yellow, 

 with the extreme lower border narrowly dark or black; 3 

 broadly yellow below, except at the apex where the black en- 

 circles the segment; 4-6 similar, but the subbasal brown 

 spreads down to the lower margin, thus dividing the pale into 

 a basal and a subapical area; 7 same as from above; 8-10 

 similar to 7, but 9 darker, and 10 brighter and paler, especially 

 beneath. Superior appendages largely dark brown; inferiors 

 yellow, shading apically into brown. 



Legs dull vellow, obscurely blotched and lined with brown, 

 especially the femora, the first femora the darkest. 



Wings clear ; stigma dark brown, slightly oblique, covering 

 one and one-half to scarcely two cells; two postquadrangular 

 cells in front wing, two minus to two in hind wing; 15 post- 

 nodals in front wing, 12 or 13 in hind wing; in the front 

 wing the arculus is distal to the cubito-anal cross-vein about 

 .5 mm., in the hind wing about .4 mm.; in front and hind 

 wings the anal vein separates from the posterior border from 

 .2 to .3 mm. distad to the cubito-anal cross-vein. 



Female. — A very teneral and poorly colored female is re- 

 ferred to this species. Head light brown, obscurely and in- 

 definitely marked with darker. Prothorax very light brown, 

 almost white, patterned as in the male, with obscure brown 

 more extensive. Thorax patterned about as the female of 

 icfericiiiu, due to teneral condition light and darker brown in 

 color; a w^ell defined streak above on the metepimeron. Ab- 

 domen similar to the male, very light brown or cream re- 

 placing the yellow, and brown replacing the richer darker 

 brown of the male; 1-7 similar to the male, less darkening of 

 the subbasal dark color, and dark brown replacing the apical
