stout, black, bristle-like hairs. The two wings smoky 

 grey, fringed at the edges with long fine hairs, and 

 sprinkled over the surface with hairs, and also with 

 ribbed scales, resembling one of the forms found on 

 butterflies' wings. The wing-veins all ran lengthwise, 

 the first almost close to the front margin of the wing, 

 running parallel to it, and uniting with it about half- 

 way down ; the second running straight along the wing 

 at rather less than one-third of the whole width of the 

 wing from the front, until near its termination at the tip 

 of the wing it curved slightly backwards ; the third vein 

 (placed about the width above mentioned from the 

 hinder margin) runs almost straight, ending at the 

 hinder margin about one-quarter of the length of the 

 wing from its tip ; this third vein throws 

 out a side-branch, which curves backwards 

 to the hinder margin of the wing exactly 

 opposite the termination of the first vein. 

 Legs very long and fine, yellowish brown, 

 hairy ; uppermost joint of tarsi very short. 

 Eyes black; antennae beaded, long, and 

 hairy. The two basal joints shorter and No. 7. Wing 

 wider than the succeeding beads. The ^ mag"* 

 remainder of these up to the apical joint 

 (with the exception of those immediately succeeding the 

 basal joints)* were rather longer than wide, apparently 

 cylindrical in form, and slightly contracted at the middle; 

 the terminal joint was bluntly pointed and about as 

 long again as the preceding bead. These joints were at 

 first distinctly stalked, so that, excepting towards the 

 end of the antenna, they could be seen to be distinctly 

 separated. From the minuteness of the division, and 

 also as with maturity and death, the beads drew so 

 nearly together as almost to appear to touch, I had 

 great difficulty in counting them, but after repeated 



* I unfortunately omitted to make a note of the precise form of these 

 at the time ; from memory I should say they were like the corresponding 

 joints of the male antennas, as figured by Dr. Packard, but not having 

 figured and noted them at the time the observation may not be correct.
