There are do specimeiis of this species in the Bureau 

 collectioii, biit Hempel describes it as «black in color, 

 with a short fringe of white Avax. Around the margin are 

 32 sharp sword-like hairs with the "wings of the adult 

 smoky in color on the basal half and on a portion of the 

 rest of the wiügs». Quaintance and Baker placed this 

 species in AJpKrotracheIns due to the statement in Hem- 

 pel's original description, < There is a prominent median, 

 longitudinal ridge, and about six transverse furrows», but 

 the marginal spines and the dusky wing of the adult 

 would place it without rauch doubt in Aleurocanthus. Ha-
