298 CAPSINA. 



Clavus ; extreme base, inner margin, and claval suture narrowly black ; 

 Corium; anterior margin, as far as the cuneus, pale yellow; 1st 

 nerve sometimes black at the base ; between the 1st nerve and the 

 claval suture (in reddish- orange examples) brown-red ; in brownish- 

 yellow, or dusky-yellow examples, fuscous, darkest at the apex, pos- 

 terior margin yellow ; Cuneus paler than the corium ; Membrane 

 fuscous black j below the cell with a darker cloud, inner marginal 

 nerve black ; cell-nerves yellow ; nerve of the inner cell, and base 

 of the membrane, narrowly black. Legs clothed with longish black 

 hairs ; tliiglis pitchy-black, or ochreous-brown ; in the former case, 

 with a 'few scattered ochreous-brown patches ; in the latter, with 

 black spots more or less in longitudinal rows, and somewhat con-

 across the entire disk ; generally it spreads over the callosities so 

 that the posterior space enclosed between the streaks assumes a

 between the 1st nerve and the claval suture more or less brown, 

 darkest at the apex ; Cuneus short, abbreviated ; Membrane fuscous, 

 rudimentary, with a single cell ; a streak on the inner margin, and
