 nearly twice the length of the third ; thorax with four black stripes. 

 Wings grey, testaceous at the base ; costal vein ending at very little in 

 front of the tip of the wing ; subcostal vein ending at beyond one-third 

 of the length ; inediastinal vein ending at a little beyond half of the 

 length ; radial vein ending at five-sixths of the length ; cubital vein 

 ending very near the tip of the costal ; pra3brachial vein forming an 

 obtuse angle at the flexure, very slightly curved inward from thence to 

 the tip ; discal transverse vein with two slight curves, parted by little 

 less than its length from the flexure of the pra3brachial, rather nearer 

 to the border. 



Rare. In the late Mr. Stephens's collection. (E.)

 third joint rounded at the tip, very little longer than the second ; sixth 

 plumose and stout towards the base, more than twice the length of the

 vein ending where the prasbrachial meets it at some little distance in 

 front of the tip of the wing ; subcostal vein ending at about one-third 

 of the length ; mediastinal vein ending before half the length ; radial 

 vein ending at a little beyond three-fourths of the length -, cubital vein 

 joining the costal near its tip ; prasbrachial vein forming an obtuse 

 angle at its flexure, near which it is slightly curved inward, and is 

 thence almost straight to its tip ; discal trauverse vein with two very 

 slight curves, parted from the hind border by more than its length, and 

 by much more than half its length from the flexure of the praebrachial. 



Not common. (E.)

 some distance from the tip of the wing ; subcostal vein ending at about 

 one-third of the length ; mediastinal vein ending at before half of the

 cubital vein slightly undulating, joining the costal very near its tip ;
