ocular stripe on the side of the head, the anterior longitudinal half of the 
tegmina on its basal half or more and the upper half of the outer face 
of the posterior femora sometimes darker than the general coloration, 
but this is not at all a constant character, those portions enumerated often 
being but little contrasted with the rest of the insect’s coloration; the 
tips of the posterior femora are very constantly fuscous and the spines 
of the legs are piceous in the apical half. 
Female: Very like the male moth structurally and in coloration, and 
in the latter respect would very surely exhibit about the same range of 
variation as described above in the case of the males were more specimens 
available for examination. The unique specimen before me, however, has 
the sides of the head, the lateral lobes of the pronotum and the outer face 
of the posterior femora of a uniform light green, the femora apically 
darker. The sternal interspaces no broader than the males. Antenne 
noticeably shorter than in the male. Organs of flight very like those of 
the opposite sex, but slightly shorter as compared with the pronotal length. 
Ovipositor with the upper scoops somewhat longer than the basal depth, 
the superior margins unarmed, the tips curved somewhat upwards.
