hairs ; antennee white, clouded on the basal fourth, but uotannulated, 

 with black. Fore wings with the costa slightly raised near the base, 

 greenish cupreous, a yellowish-white spot rather beyond the middle 

 of the dorsal margin and two similar ones on the costa (one before 

 and one beyond the middle), of which the outer one only is visible 

 on the underside ; sometimes a small faintly-indicated spot lies above 

 the anal angle. Hind wings purplish, the base of the cilia greenish 

 cupreous. Legs purplish, the tarsi rather grey. 



Female with the palpi black, the head roughly clothed with long 

 dark orange-yellow hairs, eyes smaller and wider apart than those 

 of the male, antennae nearly twice the length of the fore wings. 

 The fore wings with a less greenish and more cupreous tinge than in 

 the male ; the dorsal spot obsolete ; the costal spots much less con- 

 spicuous than those in the male, especially the one nearest the 

 base. 



Expanse 14 millims.
