fifth. Legs slender, the tibize distinctly more so than the femora, 
the latter nearly or quite three fifths as long as the wings, the tibize 
distinctly, though but little, longer than the femora, the tarsi 
nowhere completely preserved. Abdomen with a_ light-colored 
ground with dark markings, which are not wholly linear, but con- 
sist, first, of a series of short and rather stout, briefly linear dashes 
along the middle of the dorsum, or an interrupted stripe; and 
next, of oblique oval lateral patches on each segment, deepest an- 
teriorly, and posteriorly more or less blending with the median 
stripe. 
Length of wings, 14.25-16 mm. ; fore femora, 8-9 mm. ; tibiz, 
— P-10.75 mm. ; mid femora, 8.75-9.5 mm. ; hind femora, g- — ? 
mm. ; tibize, 9.75—- —? mm.

Pl 7, tie: 
Wings nearly four times as long as broad, with a dark and rather 
large oblong stigma and many of the veins broadly discolored 
with dark fuliginous, which forms patches or clouds in places; in 
particular, the fifth longitudinal vein (with the great cross vein) is 
heavily bordered, though interrupted by pallid clouds just before 
and just after the middle of the wing; a brief slender dark 
patch descends from the stigma, and is separated from the fuscous 
clouds beyond by pallid clouds which intervene in the discal 
cell and all the cells above it ; except as it nears the discal cell, 
the fourth longitudinal vein is unstained though faint slender 
fuliginous streaks follow the first and second basal cells. Auxiliary 
vein terminating at the middle of the inner marginal cell; post- 
stigmatal cross vein transverse, brief ; trapezoidal cell rather short. 
Preefurca of normal length. Petiole of second posterior cell not 
more than half as long.as the discal cell; fifth posterior cell but 
little broader at base than at margin. Discal cell rather small and 
brief, not more than half as long again as broad. Sixth longitudi- 
nal vein distant from the fifth; seventh longitudinal vein less than 
half as long as the wing. Legs relatively stout, the tibize consider- 
ably slenderer than the femora and a little longer than they, the 
femora less than three fifths the length of the wings, and the tarsi 
apparently not greatly longer than the tibiz. Abdomen pale
