veinlets between these and the outer series black, all the other veins 

 and veinlets pale whitish yellow, all clothed with very short hairs ; 

 about 25 costal veinlets, 17 between the radius and its sector, about 

 12 in the outer gradate series, 11 in the inner; these two series are 

 scarcely parallel, being more approximate towards the base; the trans- 

 verse veinlet at the base of the subcostal space placed about level with 

 the fourth costal veinlet : posterior wings with a space in the middle 

 of the sector, the base of the veins running from that space to the 

 radius, and the inner gradate series black, the others pale whitish 

 yellow. Legs yellow, a ring before the apex of the intermediate and 

 posterior femora, and a line on the inner side of these brown ; tarsi 

 darker, claws slightly dilated at the base. Abdomen pitchy brown, 

 the margins of the segments above and at the sides yellowish ; the 

 penultimate ventral segment very long, forming a shining reddish- 

 brown plate ; the antepenultimate ventral segment also long, with an 

 elongated depi-ession on its lower edge.

Antenna nearly twice the length of the wings, yellowish white, the basal" 

 joint marked with pinkish above. Head greyish ochreous ; vertex
