5 . Head dark grey ; the closely pubescent eyes separated by a • 

 broad dark grey trons of about one-third the width of the head,

Tiipc in the British Museum, in indifferent condition, although 

 the wing-markings are sufficiently well preserved for comparison 

 to be possible. 



This is probably the Trichocera ocellata of Walker, although he
