The following is a translation of Zeller’s original descrip¬ 
tion :— 
“ Body and wings ferruginous, cilia of the latter spotted with fus¬ 
cous ; third segment of hindwing with black scaling in middle of 
dorsum and around apex (d ? )• 
“ Size of a small Pt. ohscnrus. Body and wings rust-yellow, the 
former rather shining and somewhat browned on the thorax. An¬ 
tenna in 5 half-length of forewing, moderately thick, ringed 
with white and brown, basally white above; antenna of ^ somewhat 
longer, less ringed, above dilated and with broader white markings ; 
terminal joint somewhat thickened, apex acuminate. The hairs on 
the hinder margin of the head erected and inclined forwards. Palpi 
as long as the head, moderately thin, horizontal; the terminal joint 
pointeil, white above, before the tip and on the underside yellow- 
brown. Haustellum yellowish, as long as the thorax. Pectus 
white-spotted on the side. Venter white, the edges of the first tAvo 
segments with small rust-yellow bands enlarged laterally. Forelegs 
rather shining on the femora and base of tibia ; the end of the tibia 
is thickened knottily with unequally-long, very plentiful, rust-brown 
scales; out of the knots project the long wliitish spurs, blackish on 
one side ; the tarsi are whitish above, the first joint thickened ajAically 
with scales and black, the three folloAving not densely scaled beneath, 
the two last suffused with black. In the second pair of legs the tip 
of the tibia is only slightly thickened, the tarsi whitish blackened at 
the tip. [N.B.—By some error Zeller has evidently transposed the 
descriptions of the fore- and mid-legs, and this must be borne in 
mind when reading the above ti’anslation.—T.B.Pb] In the posterior 
legs the tibiae are extraordinarily thick, with three thickenings; the
