its upper branch (which is very short) ends in a fork just 

 below the point where the costa begins to curve downwards ; 

 the lower branch forks soon afterwards and the upper fork 

 curves outwards and upwards, forking again to the costa 

 just above tlie apex ; the lower fork curves downwards and 

 outwards, ending in three forks, the uppermost extending 

 to the apex ; on the basal half of the costal area is a row 

 of 5 round ivory-white spots ; below the radial nervure, in 

 the fourth cell from the base, is a large square white blotch, 

 followed by two smaller spots, and there are some smaller 

 ■white dots near the outer half of the inner margin. Wings 

 subhyaline. 



Front femora with 3-4 small spines on each carina ; middle 

 femora with 6-7 spines on the front and 5 on the hind carina ; 

 hind femora with 10-12 on the outer and 6-7 on the inner

 3 teeth, the hindermost in each case much the larger ; lateral 

 spines long, slender, and pointed; central carina only slightly 

 marked on the front of the hinder lobe ; tegmina rather short 

 and broad, the costa and inner margin curving regularly to 

 the apex, which is not very acute ; the three principal branches 

 of the radial nervure branching close together, the upper and 

 lower only forking at their extremities, but the middle one 

 forked again about halfway between its base and the apex, 

 the upper one throwing up several branches above the apex, 

 and the lower one ending in several short branches at the 

 apex. 



Front femora with 3 spines on each carina; middle femora 

 with 7 on the hinder carina and only 2 or 3 on the front 

 carina ; hind femora with 12 on the outer and 4 on the inner
