the outer-anterior ends of the postalar calli, passing on the praealar 

 calli and the upper wing-basal area ; between the lateral stripe and 

 outer median stripe there is an other faint short similarly coloured 

 stripe on each distal part behind the suture, these stripes about as 

 wide as the second stripe and slightly curved outwards, somewhat nar- 

 row crescent-shaped, extending from just below the inner angles of the 

 praealar calli to just above the postero-inner ends of the postalar calli ; 

 praealar calli usually pale ferrugineous slightly obscured with a greyish 

 tomentum, and postalar calli and upper wing-basal area sometimes 

 brownisli ; pubescence fairly abundant, usually mainly black except on 

 the front vertical part, nearly erect and fairly long especially after 

 the suture, but on the front vertical part shorter, more depressed, and 

 pale greyish, though the shorter fine and much more depressed greyish 

 hairs may extend more on to the disc or especially on to the sides of 

 the disc and when viewed from front appear to be predominant ; on 

 the humeri, on the hind corners of the praealar calli, on the part just 

 above the wing-base, and on the posterior margins of the postalar calli 

 there are distinct whitish tuft of .long and dense hairs, while the grey- 

 ish stripes bear short more conspicuous pale greyish pubescence similar 

 to that on the rest of the disc ; scutellum somewhat flat triangular, 

 closed with pale greyish pubescence in which long nearly erect black 

 hairs similar to those on the posterior part of the thorax are intermix- 

 ed, and bearing a fairly abundant marginal fringe of pale grey hairs. 

 Pleurae obscured with an ashy grey tomentum, covered with dense 

 woolly greyish white pubescence, on the prothorax and on the postero- 

 upper margin of the meso- and meta-pleurae a conspicuous tuft of 

 long whitish hairs. 



Wings almost clear or very slightly smoky brownish, with veins 

 yellowish brown to dark brown, but the discal vein and all its division 

 and anal vein blackish, and the costal (or sometimes with subcostal) 

 vein, the apical portion of the radial, the upper branch of the postical 

 fork, and the branches of the cubital fork more or less darker ;
