femora pale brown, more yellowish basally, the tips broadly 

 darker brown; tibia? similar, the tips narrowly dark brown ; 

 tarsi dark brown ; legs with conspicuous semi-ere6*t hairs ; 

 no spines at base of metatarsi. Wings pale brownish grey, 

 the costal and subcostal cells more yellowish : the entire 

 wing-surface is densely sprinkled with small brown and grey 

 dots that are of nearly uniform size throughout ; these occur 

 in all the cells of the wing, but appear to be somewhat more 

 crowded proximad of the cord. Venation showing some 

 variation ; in the type, JR 2 is shorter ; basal deflection of 

 R 4+5 longer ; cell 1st M 2 hexagonally rectangular, the fusion 

 of M 3 and Cm, longer than the basal deflection of Gil] ; 

 petiole of cell M x longer than the cell. In the paratype the 

 opposite of the above conditions hold ; it may be that two 

 species are involved, but this seems scarcely probable. 



Abdomen obscure yellow, the tergites narrowly and 

 indistinctly margined with brown ; segments seven to nine 

 more uniformly brown. Male hypopygium with the ninth 

 tergitenot darker than the remainder of the hypopygium, the 

 surface dull, the candid margin deeply bilobed, the adja- 

 cent lobes rounded and provided with long yellowish bristles.

Lecteria pluriguttata is readily told from its close allies 

 (L. africuna, Alexander, L. atricauda, Alexander) by the

Head black, the front and anterior part of the vertex 

 golden-pollinose ; mesonotum reddish brown, the prsescutum 

 with two indistinct brown stripes ; femora dull yellow, the 

 tips narrowly dark brownish black ; wings dull greyish, the 

 costal region more yellowish ; costal cell with about ten 

 spurs and cross-veins extending from costa, these con- 

 spicuously seamed with brown ; cord and outer end of cell 

 1st M-2 seamed with brown ; abdominal sternites margined 

 anteriorly and laterally with brownish black, and with an 

 elongate median dash of the same colour.
