bifid, the joints sub-equal. The cloud in the fore wings 

 occupies the whole of the radial cellule, the first cubital, 

 except an oblique corner at the base, the upper half 

 of the second, and a narrow band on the top of the third. 

 The upper part of the second and third abdominal 

 segments, narrowly in the middle, and their sides more 

 broadly, white, the marks on the sides being narrowed at 

 the top.

 testaceous ; the apical joints black. Head rufous ; the 

 labrum, the inner orbits, a mark above each antenna and

 bordered by narrow, but distinct, furrows ; the lower part 

 of the occiput is black. The middle lobe of the meso-

 furrowed down the centre ; the lateral lobes are black at 

 the apices ; the parapsidal furrows are wide and deep.
