The antennze of the male are moderately broad and flat, with fifty- 
two rays on each side ; the four or five terminal joints very short, and 
not producing any rays; the rays are for the most part of nearly equal 
length, so that the broad part of the antennz has its sides nearly 
parallel. 
The antennee of the female are compressed, and with scarcely any 
rudiment of pectinations. 
The palpi are distinct, but very short. 
The outer margin of the fore-wings of the female is entire.

The male antennz are moderately broad, with 126 rays on each 
side, affixed obliquely, the joints being very short, the ten terminal 
joints very short, with only one ray on each side, gradually diminish- 
ing in size. 
The female antenne are slightly serrated, each joint emitting two 
oblique serrations on each side, the basal pair being the largest, the 
size of the serrations gradually diminishing to the tip. 
The palpi are short and broad, but do not extend beyond the hairs 
of the face. 
I have seen a variety from the Zoolu country much varied with 
yellow, especially on the thorax, at the base of the wings, and along 
the apical portion beyond the subapical striga.
