black, the basal joint red, with a black mark above ; second 

 joint black at the base, red at the apex. Mandibles and base 

 of the raaxill^e black. Palpi reddish. Prothorax much nar- 

 rower than the head, rather longer than broad, above finely 

 transversely rugose, the sides broadly black. Mesonotum 

 ochreous, suffused with fuscous. Abdomen and the underside 

 of meso- and metathorax yelloAvish ochreous. The last abdo- 

 minal segment is produced in the middle above. Superior 

 appendices elongate, thick, clubbed at the apex, the inner edge 

 sinuate ; inferior appendices long, three-jointed, the two ter- 

 minal joints short, the last curved abruptly inwards, claw- 

 shaped and acute ; penis (or that which I take for it) long, 

 flattened, transversely wrinkled, acuminate and truncate at 

 the apex. Legs — anterior pair black, with a line on the inner 

 side of the femora, and the trochanters and cox^e wholly, red- 

 dish ; intermediate and posterior pairs with black tibias and 

 tarsi, otherwise reddish. 



Anterior wings smoky fuscous, with the costal and sub- 

 costal areas paler ; two very large subquadi'ate white spaces 

 (traversed by black veins), one near the base, the other in 

 about the middle, extending from the radius more than half 

 across the wing; beyond these are two or three small qua- 

 drate white spots on the disk, and two or three between the 

 radius and sector ; costal veinlets very strong, straight, black, 

 and margined with black ; longitudinal veins and transverse 

 veinlets (especially those of the base) strong and black : pos- 

 terior wings subhyaline, tinged with fuscous ; costal vein- 

 lets, and those between the radius and sector, black, the latter 

 clouded with blackish. 



I have seen two males of this conspicuous species.
