A sketch of the palpus of Strecker's specimens sent to ns by Mr. Franck proves

 Tlieretra herrichi id., l.i: n. 62 (18'J2) (nom. nov. loco " butus Herr.-Sch."). 



J ? . Mesothorax without a pale lateral stripe ; second abdominal tergite 

 distinctly black at the sides, this colour extending backwards in some individuals 

 to the third or fourth segment. Line 4 of forewing .strongly accentuated by nerve- 

 dots, and fringe also with black nerve-dots. External row of spines of first pro- 

 tarsal segment single. Cavity of palpus sharply defined, the scaling round it 

 regular (I'l. LIX. f. 10) ; PI. LIX. f. lo represents the end of the first segment as 

 seen from the inner side, the second segment broken oS ; PL LIX. f. 27 gives 

 a view of the inner surface of the entire palpus. Scaling of antenna olive 

 towards base. 



c?. Tenth abdominal tergite gradually narrowed, convex above, apex sinuate, 

 the angles rounded ; sternite obtusely pointed. Clasper with a patch of about ten 

 enlarged scales, arranged in two or three oblique rows, nearer apex than base of 

 clasper ;' harpe short (PI. LII. f. 20), obtuse, without free process, no teeth. 

 Penis-sheath (PI. LVIII. f. 4. 5) : the teeth mostly four-pointed, few of them 

 three-pointed. 



Early stages nut known.

(J ? . Cavity at end of first segment of paljius sharply defined, the scaling 

 regular. External row of spines of the first protarsal segment single, or doubled 

 at base. Of the lines on the forewing only lines 1 and 5 are marked, seldom 

 also line 2, besides the oblique apical line, which joins line 5. The i)ale lateral 

 band of head and thorax is obliterated, being vestigial before the antenna ; no 

 lines on the abdomen, but a black basal lateral patch sometimes indicated. 



i. Tenth abdominal segment as in capcusis, but the sternite rather more 

 tiiangular. Friction-scales of clasper not numerous, large; process of liarpe 

 (PI. LII. f. 24) very long, slender. Armature of penis-sheath similar to that 

 of the following species, but the left row of teeth less extended (PL LVllI. f 12), 

 not beginning apically, but laterally.
