 meeting outwardly at their extremities (these appear to be com- 

 posed of very fugiti\e scales and are easily obliterated) ; beyond 

 the ferruginous spot a dark fuscous (almost black) slender curved 

 line passes from the apex through the silvery-yellowish cilia giving 

 a slight uncate appearance, tornal cilia yellowish grey. Kvp. al.

This differs from p^rcfstans, Wlsm., the only other known species 

 of the genus, in the apparent absence of the tuft of long hair-scales 

 arising beneath the eyes, which, so far as I am able to determine, 

 does not exist in this species ; but such structures ai-e often only 

 displayed in individual specimens, and in others are completely 

 hidden away.
