  is 
  a 
  reduplicated 
  brown 
  spot, 
  the 
  upper 
  portion 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  almost 
  

   round; 
  the 
  lower 
  portion 
  is 
  triangular, 
  with 
  the 
  apex 
  pointing 
  out- 
  

   wards 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  lower 
  angle 
  on 
  the 
  fold 
  is 
  a 
  roundish 
  spot 
  of 
  a 
  darker 
  

   brown 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  is 
  an 
  obliquely-placed 
  linear 
  spot 
  of 
  

   dark 
  brown 
  scales 
  ; 
  five 
  small 
  spots 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  colour 
  are 
  at 
  the 
  

   extreme 
  edge 
  along 
  the 
  apical 
  margin, 
  with 
  three 
  simUar 
  spots 
  

   above 
  the 
  apex, 
  between 
  it 
  and 
  the 
  costal 
  projection; 
  two 
  similar 
  

   spots 
  also 
  occur 
  on 
  the 
  dorsal 
  margin 
  ; 
  cilia 
  very

  The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  palpi 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  somewhat 
  

   peculiar; 
  the 
  second 
  joint 
  throws 
  out 
  a 
  brush 
  of 
  hair- 
  

   like 
  scales 
  on 
  its 
  upper 
  side, 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  on 
  its 
  under 
  side 
  

   towards 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  thus 
  the 
  joint 
  itself 
  passes 
  through 
  

   the 
  brush, 
  and 
  gives 
  off 
  the 
  apical 
  joint 
  at 
  its 
  apex, 
  

   whereas 
  in 
  Nothris 
  and 
  YpsolopJius 
  it 
  is 
  tufted 
  beneath, 
  

   and 
  the 
  apical 
  joint 
  is 
  given 
  oft' 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  tuft. 
  

   Tiie 
  neuration 
  agrees 
  with 
  that 
  of 
  Ypsolophus, 
  but 
  the 
  

   excavated 
  costal 
  margin 
  distinguishes 
  it 
  in 
  appearance, 
  

   and 
  the 
  peculiar 
  pal^^i 
  seem 
  to 
  justify 
  its 
  reception 
  in 
  

   the 
  genus 
  Anorthosia, 
  Clem., 
  which 
  also 
  possesses 
  a 
  

   slight 
  depression 
  on 
  the 
  costal 
  margin.
