femora pale brown, move yellowisli basally, the tips broadly 

 darker brown ; tibiae similar, the tips narroAvly dark brown ; 

 tarsi daik brown; legs with consj)icuous semi-erect hairs; 

 no s[)ines at base of metatarsi. AVings })ale brownish ^rey, 

 the costal and snbcostal cells more yellowish ; the entire 

 wiiig-snrface is densely sprinkled with small l)rawn arid grey 

 dots that are of nearly nniforni size throughout ; these occur 

 in all the cells of the wing, but appear to be somewhat more 

 crowded proximad of the cord. Venation showing some 

 variation ; in the type, H^ is shorter : basal deflection of 

 ■^4+.-, longer ; cell 1st M.2 hexagonally rectangular, the fusion 

 of Ms and Cui longer than the basal deflection of Cw] ; 

 petiole of cell Mi longer than the cell. In the paratypc the 

 opposite of the above conditions hold ; it may be that two 

 species are involved, but this seems scarcely probable. 



Abdomen obscure yellow, the tergites narrowly and 

 indistinctly margined with brown ; segments seven to nine 

 more uniformly brown. ]Male hypopyginm with the ninth 

 tergite not (hirker than the remainder of tlie hypopygiuni, the
