marginal nerve, as far as the black ecnneate patch, white, from thence round 
the apex brown or fuscous, inner nerves pale yellowish-white, granules elon- 
gate, black, somewhat eye-shaped, placed at regular intervals along the top of 
the nerves, and somewhat more thickly disposed on the 1st and 2nd nerves 
of the corium, at the apex the granules are inclined to become more or less 
confluent; transverse nerves fine, black; apex of the clayal suture, and a 
short streak next the junction of the nerve with the inner margin, black. 
Wings pale at the base, towards and at the apex pale fuscous, nerves piceous 
or fuscous. Legs yellow; thighs pitchy-black, apex narrowly yellow; tibic 
with a narrow, piceous streak down the sides, base of all the pairs with a 
narrow blackish ring ; tarsi yellow, 38rd joint of the 1st and 2nd _ pairs black, 
of the 3rd pair brown. 
Abdomen black, margins of the segments above narrowly, and sides, orange-yellow 
or red; genital segment black, “‘ claspers,’ &c., somewhat fuscous-yellow. 
Length, 24 lines. 
This insect is exceedingly like the following species (similis), and _ 
can only outwardly be distinguished from it by the different shape 
of the granules, their closer position both on the inner nerves and 
along the marginal nerve, and by the nerves being slightly more yellow. 
I only know of two examples; one (a ?) taken by Mr. Dale at 
Bonchurch, in October, the other (a ¢) in my own collection, without 
date or locality.
