completel}' bare ami lirown. Tlie brown and golden scales form a pattern 

 as follows : a larown jjatcli on the median longitudinal area at the middle 

 of the dise, two brown patches on each of the submedian areas, one 

 before and the other behind the middle, thus forming the corners of a 

 rectangle with a brown spot in its center. 



These longitudinal areas have in addition manj^ very long, brown bris- 

 tles. The submedian areas terminate posteriorly in a tuft of white, 

 curved, spindle-shaped scales, which extend over ui^on the scutellum ; the 

 latter is clothed with three palmate tufts of cream-colored scales from 

 which spring brown bristles which are nearly 1-J the length of the meso- 

 notuni: metanotum bare, brown. The bases of the wings are ochraceous 

 and there appear to be well-developed tegulfe. The anterior three veins 

 inchrding costa all darkly brown-scaled, the remainder of the wing very 

 much lighter. The following white spots appear : on tlie costa six, the 

 first two approximate and sub-basal, the third at first third of costa, 

 the foui'th just beyond middle, the fifth halfway from fourth to apex 

 and the sixth just before apex. Spots 3, -i, 5, and (> appear also on the 

 subcosta and the first longitudinal. A spot appears on subcosta and first 

 longitudinal between spots 3 and 4 of the costa while another smaller 

 spot ajipears near the bases of veins I and V. The irpper fork of vein 

 V has a white spot after the juncture of the posterior cross vein. First 

 submarginal only a little more than half as wide as second posterior, but 

 is slightly longei' and its base is more remote from base of wing. There 

 are white scales at the bases of the petioles of the first srdjmarginal and 

 second posterior cells as also at the bases of tliese cells and the point on 

 vein III where it joins the supernumerary and mid cross veins. The 

 apices of the forks of the first submai'ginal cell are white, these spots 

 being continuous with the sixth costal spot. The cilia are white except 

 apically where they ai'e tinged witli yellow. 



Halteres pale. 



Basal abdominal segjnents light brown dorsally, middle and a]3ical 

 dark l^rowm or nearly black, all having apical margijis of cream-colored 

 scales, which broaden laterally. Thei'e are two submedian discal white 

 spots dorsally on segments 6 and 7, and faint I'emains of similar spots 

 on 5. The apical half of the abdomen is more or less golden pubescent. 

 Legs generally mottled; all femora and tibiae brown and gold mottled: 

 all tibiae apically tipped with cream-colored scales: fore first tarsi ^ dark, 

 cream tipped; mid first tarsi, pale ochraceous, pale tipped at base and 

 apex as are their other tarsi and those of fore feet. Apex of posterior 

 second tarsal segment and all of remaining tarsi nearly pure white. 

 Ungues of fore and mid tarsi unequal and having uj^on the larger a 

 single tooth which is one-fourth of its length. The smaller unguis is 



' Formerly improperly called metatarsi.
