 slender tail ; abdominal margin long ; precostal vein short, curved, emitted opposite 

 junction of the subcostal vein; cell I'ather broad; discocellulars very oblique and 

 lono- ; subcostal branch emitted at some distance bevond end of the cell ; * middle

 slender, second joint extending nearly half its length beyond the head, smoothly 

 scaled above, first and second joint compactly hairy beneath, apical joint rather long, 

 ])ointed, smooth ; antennal club short and broadly spatulate ; forelegs of male small, 

 clothed with fine soft hairs, /yreZe'^/s of female long, slender, scaled; femur fusiform, 

 clothed laterally with broad serrate- tipped scales and beneath with a few fine silky 

 hairs; tibia and tarsus clothed with narrow spiny scales; tarsus five-jointed, each

Imago. — Male and female. Upperside vinaceous-brown Avith numerous 

 yellowish-ochreous spots. Cilia alternated with white. Forewing with an ochreous 

 bar across middle of the cell and continued obliquely below to the submedian, 

 another bar at end of the cell, a larger parallel one beyond the cell from the costa 

 to the upper median veinlet, two subapical spots, two lower discal spots placed near 

 the bases of the median interspaces, another spot in the submedian interspace 

 beyond the loAver of the latter spots, followed by a subraarginal row of smaller spots 

 placed in four pairs out-of-line, the lowest pair being narrowest, and then a 

 marginal lower row of five smaller linear spots. lUndwing with an ochreous slender 

 line at end of the cell, an irregular discal series of spots, the two lower being 

 narrowest, followed by a submarginal and a linear series, which coalesce above the 

 anal angle. Underside. Both wings dark brownish-ochreous. Foreving with the 

 base and posterior mnrgin dusky brown, the base of the costa and also the base of 

 the cell, enclosing a black spot ; the other markings as on upperside, pale ochreous- 

 yellow, the outer lower spots being brighter ochreous. Hhtdicing with all the veins 



* In all the species here givcu undur this gpnus, except Dijxjea, iu which the subcostal branch is 

 emitted before end of the cell.
