especially the posterior legs which measure approximately 
12°5 mm. in total length; coxe and trochanters obscure 
yellow; remainder of the legs dark brown. Wings whitish 
subhyaline, variegated with conspicuous patches of dark 
macrotrichie, giving to the wings a somewhat nebulous 
appearance ; the more conspicuous of these blotches occupy 
the stigmal area, extending to the fork of Rs; interrupted 
areas at 7-m, fork of M, and along vein M3 near the base of 
the distal section; veins pale with dark macrotrichize. 
Venation: basal deflection of Cu, on J/; immediately beyond

Abdomen pale brown, with a series of five dark brown 
lateral spots. Male hypopygium with the mesal face of the 
pleurites at apex provided with a dense brush of long dark 
hairs. Two pleural appendages, both basal in position: one 
chitinized, elongate, terminating in a clavate lobe, at the base 
of the lobe with a conspicuous shoulder that is microscopically 
denticulate ; second appendage large, produced caudad into 
a flattened blackish lobe, the mesal portion very extensive, 
extending as a thin sheet almost to the penis-guard. Penis- 
guard very long, straight, tapering very gradually to the 
apex, subtended on either side at the base by the small 
inconspicuous apophyse.
