It much resembles G. signifera, but the legs are shorter and a little 

 more slender; the hind wings are a little shorter and their bands are fewer 

 and less regular.

A specimen from Bourn in Mr. Saunders' collection appears to be a 

 variety of this species. The oviduct is much longer than the abdomen. 

 The hind wings have six broad black bands and some intermediate black 

 dots ; the bands are more regular in the right wing than in the left ; the 

 sixth is narrower than the others, and there is an exterior black line.

Female. Tawny. Head black, as broad as the prothorax, with three 

 elongated tawny spots between the eyes, the middle one in advance of the 

 other two. Eyes tawny. Palpi testaceous; fifth joint of the maxillary 

 palpi much longer than the fourth; third joint of the labial palpi clavate. 

 Prothorax with a transverse furrow near the fore border and an oblique 

 furrow on each side; furrows bordered with black. Cerci about one-fourth 

 of the length of the oviduct. Oviduct curved upward, a little longer than 

 the abdomen. Legs thick; hind femora with seven spines on each side, 

 these spines successively increasing in size to the apical one ; hind tibiae 

 with seven shorter spines on the outer side and with six on the inner side; 

 the spines on the one side alternate with those on the other. Fore wings 

 testaceous, a little shorter than the bind wings, with an irregular abbre- 

 viated discoidal blackish stripe, some of the adjoining transverse sectors 

 clouded with blackish; the other veins lawny, except those in the stripe. 

 Hind wings yellowish white, with seven black irregular rather broad bands; 

 longitudinal veins tawny ; transverse sectors black. Length of the body 

 15 lines; of the fore wings 35 lines. 



The stripe on the fore wings and the broad bands on the hind wings 

 distinguish it from G. fuscifrons; the former character distinguishes it 

 from G. heros, from which it differs in the veins of the fore wiugs, which are 

 not whitish at the base.
