 the nervures red; an oblique dark-brown band behind the middle, 

 composed of blotches occupying the central portions of the cells, a 

 white spot just before the middle of the central anteapical cell, a trans- 

 verse median band on the clavus and the broad bases of the costal and 

 outer apical nervures black, all of third and basal half of first joint of 

 posterior tarsi white, the rest black. 



Genitalia: ?, ultimate ventral segment rather long, slightly pro- 

 duced in the middle, the outer angles rounding : cJ', valve nearly 

 concealed by the ultimate segment; plates broad at base, one-half 

 longer than wide, the margins slightly concave, thickly set with coarse
