Abdominal tergites not spinose except at edges. Forewing without basal dot. 

 Eighth tergite and clasper with organ of friction. 



(?. Body ecrn-drab ; palpns somewhat darker, waslied at tlie side with rosy 

 red ; anterior coxa bntHsh ; antenna very strongly ciliated, the non-scaled lateral 

 and ventral snrface wood-brown, the segments deejily impressed laterally, the base 

 iirojecting also ventrally, the basal comb of ciliae being jJaced on a transverse 

 rounded carina, the antenna appearing therefore snbserrate in a lateral view. 



Wings, (iborr. Forewing ecrn-drab like the body, traversed by four brown 



lines, the first crossing M at base of M-, slightly inclining costad, the second at that 

 of M', straight, the third also straight to M-, then curved distad, almost parallel 

 to the second, 8 mm. from base of M-, 3 mm. from lower angle of cell, fourth 

 line a little nearer line 3 than onter margin, slightly curving basad from R' to 

 internal margin, 3 mm. distant from line 3 at M^ and 4J mm. from outer margin, 

 while the distances are respectively 5 and 5 mm. at R', 5 and 8 mm. at SC^ ; ajiex 

 pointed, outer margin concave anteriorly, then convex, posteriorly straight, oblique, 



internal angle obtuse, internal margin shallowly sinuate distally. llindwiiig 



orange-rufons, a very narrow blackish brown border, the brown scaling extended 

 along the veins, the border broader at and beyond M-, here ecrn-drab, as is the 

 abdominal margin np to SM-, a brownish black submarginal line between M- and 

 SM-, almost interrupted at (SM'), the vestige of a second line proximally of the 

 submarginal one, a short tooth at JM- and SM^. 



Umlermde vinaceous-cinnamon, hindwing paler, both wings crossed by a discal 

 and a postdiscal line ; those of forewing slightly convex distally, being parallel to 

 the outer margin (apical lobe of wing excluded) and to each other, outer line 

 midway between outer margin and discal line, the latter 5J mm. from lower angle 

 of cell at R^ The discal line of hindwing distally concave in middle, being very 

 feebly cnrved, crossing R^ 1 J mm. from cell, postdiscal line slightly convex distally 

 in front, feebly concave posteriorly, standing at R' midway between outer margin 

 and discal line, distance 41 mm.; at W the distances are 31 and 4 mm. respectively, 

 and at M- barely 3 mm. 



The tenth tergito (PI. XXV. f. 15, A7) is rounded at the end, deeply concave 

 beneath, somewhat curved downward and slightly dilated before the apex, a little 

 spoon-shaped. The steruite {Xb) has a triangular, sharply pointed, mesial lohc 

 Clasper (PI. XXXIII. f. 21) rounded at the end, both the dorsal and ventral edges 

 oblique distally ; the patch of friction-scales large, reaching to the aincal and dorsal 

 margins, which are fringed with very short white scales, the friction-scales very 

 small, pointed, not close together, the area semi-transparent ; harpe with two 

 distal processes : the one ventral (;;r), triangular ; the other {pm) submesial, 

 broad, inclining distad, sinuate, with the lobes rounded, the process proximally 

 concave, covered with short bristles ; this process pm stands in connection with a 

 weak longitudinal told which is clothed with dispersed long hairs and ends basi- 

 dorsally in a spine-like process, which is much thinner than in carten. renis- 

 funnel short, strong, ventrally and dorsally sinuate, the lobes consequently lateral, 

 pointed ; iienis-sheath (PI. XXX. f 37) with an apical process which is more than 

 three times as long as the sheath is broad. 



?. A very badly damaged ? in the Berlin Museum from Usaramo, Ueriuaii 

 East Africa, may belong to this species. Antenna andromorphic ; anal angle ol 

 hindwing less produced than in <?, no lines on the underside of the wings, which 

 are rubbed.
