334 MYBMELEONITES. 



thorax longer than broad, hardly narrower in front, with three slen- 

 der, testaceous stripes : segments of the mesothorax and of the 

 metathorax with testaceous borders, some of them with testaceous 

 spots : abdomen shorter than the wings ; segments with testaceous 

 bands on their hind borders ; underside testaceous : legs pale tes- 

 taceous, long and slender; fore-femora streaked with black; fore- 

 tibiae and fore-tarsi black, testaceous at the base; hind-femora, 

 hind-tibiae and hind-tarsi with black tips : wings limpid, with 

 whitish tips which are not pointed ; stigma white ; veins white, with 

 black tips, here and there wholly white in the fore-wings which are 

 moderately broad; subcostal areolets simple, with a few forked 

 veins near the stigma : fore-wings with numerous brown dots on the 

 forks and junctions of the veins ; none of these dots on the broad 

 subcostal region, nor on two spaces where the veins are wholly 

 white : hind-wings much longer and narrower than the fore-wings, 

 without dots except at the tips. The specimen here described does 

 not agree in some respects with Rambur's characters of M. ano- 

 malus, and may be a distinct species. Length of the body 15 lines ; 

 of the wings 36 lines.
