posteriorum crassi ; tibiae posticse quater squamis setisque in- 

 crassatae, nodis apicem versus majoribus ; spinse uno latere pilis 

 ciliatae, apice niido, acuto ; tarsi postici et ipsi in articulorum 

 apicibus squamis nonnibil tumidi, prinio tumore reliquis dis- 

 tinctiore. Abdomen crassum, postice atteiiuatum, saturate auran- 

 tiacum ; segmeuta duo terminalia sicut venter nigra, violaceo- 

 nitida; segmentum ana]e subconicum, truncatum oviductum tes- 

 taceum exserit. Alae anteriores 3i"' longae, exbasi angusta sensim 

 dilatatae, apice subobtusse, aurantiacae, majore parte postica nigrae, 

 violaceo-nitidulae. Color aurantiacus ad costam multo longius 

 quam ad dorsum propagatur, nusquam a nigro certis finibus 

 separatus. In humero macula parva nigra adest. Cilia nigricant. 

 Alas posteriores anguste lanceolatae, dilutius aurantiacae, circa 

 apicem acutum nigricant. Cilia ex basi ad marginis postici medium 

 alls concolora, deinde omnino fasco-nigra. Subtus iidem colores, 

 nisi quod aiirantiacus in anterioribus alis majus spatium occupat 

 nee in basi macula nigra inquinatiu'.

It is worthy of notice that a specimen collected by 

 Woodford in the Solomon Islands, and now in the British 

 Museum, is so like this species as to be easily taken for it 

 by a superficial observer. It is, however, somewhat larger, 

 but possesses the same colouring, except that the dark 

 cilia of the hind wings extend more towards the base. 

 The body is rather black than yellow ; the structure of 

 the legs, even to the conspicuous fringes on the spurs, is 

 precisely the same as, in (Edematopoda imnceps; the 

 hind wings are certainly somewhat wider towards the 

 apex, but the following characters seem to me to suffice 

 to remove it, for the present at least, from the neighbour- 

 hood of all the genera treated of in this paper. Instead 

 of the long recurved palpi possessed by all of these, it 

 has extremely short, inconspicuous, drooping labial 

 palpi of entirely different structure ; moreover, the 

 apical vein of the fore wings is not forked.
