segments except last narrowly j^ellowish grey. Wings: 

 apical sinuous mark in type somewhat coarse and Avidely 

 interrupted in second submarginal cell, in middle of distal 

 margin of which (i. e. on wing-margin) there is an ill-defined 

 light blotch j a series of light blotches on hind margin of 

 wing, in distal marginal angles of first, second, third, and 

 fifth posterior cells, while a fifth light blotch covers tip of 

 sixth longitudinal vein (in type blotches in distal marginal 

 angles of third and fifth posterior cells larger than remainder, 

 blotch in distal marginal angle of fifth posterior cell espe- 

 cially large and conspicuous) ; usual series of oblique light 

 marks across posterior cells, some of them continuous with 

 marginal blotches ; middle rosette Avell developed, proximal 

 rosette especially conspicuous, owing to its central area being 

 filled out with light blotches ; discal cell in type with a 

 nearly unbroken light area occupying proximal third, and 

 two semi-interrupted light marks at distal extremity ; 

 markings of basal cells normal in character, proximal as well 

 as distal extremities of these cells occupied with light 

 markings ; in axillary cell zigzag mark and basal loop con- 

 nected by an unusually broad light band running round 

 margin of anal angle ; alula light, with dark centre ; stigma 

 mummy-brown, well developed and elongate, a well-marked 

 subquadrate light blotch connecting costa and proximal 

 rosette at proximal extremity of stigma, and a conspicuous 

 light loop (upper portion of distal rosette) in marginal cell 

 beyond distal extremity of stigma; below stigma a subquadrate 

 area of dark colour extending undiminished in width to 

 below third longitudinal vein. Halteres : knob dark sepia, 

 stalk cream-coloured. Legs : pale bands on tibiae and basal 

 half or rather more of first joints of middle and hind tarsi 

 buff; band on hind tibia narroAver than that on front tibia, 

 latter baud not very broad ; front tibiae incrassate, hind tibiae 

 stouter than middle tibise ; middle and hind tibiae clothed 

 with appressed pale yellowish hairs ; front tarsi with long, 

 blackish, fine, curling or curved hairs beneath, and long 

 straight hairs at tip of each joint on each side and also 

 above. 



Angola : Benguella, June 1905 (Dr. F. Creighton Wellman). 



The unusual hairiness of the under side of the front tarsi, 

 in conjunction with the sharply defined light wing-markings 

 (which, when the wings are viewed against a dark back- 

 ground, contrast strongly with the ground-colour), and the 

 presence of only a single pale band on the hind tibiae, affords 

 a convenient means for the recognition of this species.
