resembles //. ruhida, Ricardo, in the antennse. Bigot seems 

 to have overlooked the second joint, which is very small, and 

 described the third joint as tlie second one ; tlie first joint is

 division being large and swollen, the remaining divisions 

 very small. The abdomen is black, with the segmentations 

 grey ; the two rows o£ spots mentioned by Bigot are hardly 

 noticeable. The legs have two rings of light colour on the 

 middle and posterior tibiee, and the base of the fore tibiae is 

 yellowish. The wings have two indistinct rosettes.
