pronotal crest, and in a couple of short longitudinal stripes along the 

 anterior half of the lateral lobes of the pronotum; the hinder edge 

 of the pronotum is usua,lly alternately pale and dark; antennae dusky, 

 yellowish brown at the base, and annulate with yellowish brown for 

 some distance beyond it ; tegmina mottled with dark cinereous and 

 blackish brown, the latter most conspicuous in an agglomeration of 

 these spots just before the middle, half way between that and the 

 base, and at an equal distance beyond the middle band: the apical 

 fourth of the wing is obscurely subhyaline, occasionally Avith a slight 

 concentration of dark spots at the tip ; the lighter colors predominate 

 along the costal margin on either side of the median dark patch. 

 Wings light greenish yellow at the base, sometimes tinged to the 

 least possible degree with saffron (more noticeable in the closed 

 wing), with a moderately broad, blackish fuscous, arcuate mesial 

 band, at the costal border (but omitting the costal edge) extending 

 abruptly a short way toward the base of the wing; beyond this band 

 the wing is hyaline, with blackish fuscous nervures, some of the cells 

 near the' tip partially or wholly fuligino-fuscous, forming a more or 

 less marked infuscation. Hind tibia? coral red, the extreme base 

 black, followed by a more or less distinct pale annulation. Crest of 

 pronotum exceedingly high, arched pretty regularly, the hinder ex- 

 tremity of the anterior lobe sometimes overlapping the front of the 

 posterior lobe; the posterior border of pronotum yery acutely angled.
