 and a broad ring before apex of terminal joint black. Antennae 

 whitish-ochreous, annulated with black. Abdomen pale greyish- 

 ochreous. Legs pale ochreous, joints of tarsi very narrowly black 

 at base ; anterior tibiae black ; middle tibiae very much thickened 

 with black scales. Fore-wings with costal half whitish, dorsal 

 half and hind-margin pale ochreous, irrorated sparsely throughout 

 with blackish 'scales, and densely along a longitudinal dilating 

 streak from base to apex ; these scales tend to form regular 

 transverse strigulae on costal and dorsal margins ; on the white
