  In 
  surface, 
  sculpture 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  closely 
  resembling 
  the 
  species 
  last 
  men- 
  

   tioned, 
  but 
  with 
  the 
  median 
  carina 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum 
  more 
  distinct, 
  and 
  a 
  heavier 
  pile 
  

   upon 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  thorax. 
  Whole 
  head 
  below 
  the 
  lower 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  eyes 
  varying 
  

   from 
  cinereous 
  to 
  chalky 
  white, 
  flecked 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  border 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  frontal 
  

   costa 
  with 
  black 
  specks; 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  head 
  dark 
  cinereous, 
  mottled 
  with 
  black, 
  with 
  

   a 
  narrow 
  black 
  stripe 
  behind 
  the 
  eye. 
  Thorax 
  cinereo-testaceous, 
  with 
  a 
  large* 
  

   central 
  blackish 
  spot 
  on 
  the 
  disk, 
  and 
  a 
  heavy 
  quadrate 
  black 
  blotch 
  over 
  the 
  front, 
  

   portion 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  half 
  or 
  more 
  of 
  the 
  deflected 
  lobes, 
  followed 
  beneath 
  by 
  whitish,. 
  

   Tegmina 
  cinereous, 
  heavily 
  flecked 
  with 
  blackish 
  fuscous, 
  especially 
  collected 
  on 
  their 
  

   basal 
  half 
  into 
  two 
  transverse 
  bands, 
  one 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  

   the 
  second 
  quarter 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  apical 
  half 
  the 
  spots 
  are 
  quadrate 
  and 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  clus- 
  

   tered 
  into 
  short 
  oblique 
  bars. 
  Wings 
  varying 
  from 
  entirely 
  dark 
  fuliginous, 
  with 
  a 
  

   faint 
  hyaline 
  cloud 
  near 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  costal 
  margin, 
  to 
  dark 
  fuliginous, 
  with 
  the* 
  

   apical 
  third 
  hyaline 
  but 
  containing 
  a 
  few 
  dusky 
  flecks. 
  The 
  wing 
  differs 
  from 
  thatr 
  

   of 
  the 
  typical 
  species 
  in 
  that 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  anal 
  area 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  ample, 
  and 
  that 
  the- 
  

   spurious 
  veins 
  lie 
  closer 
  to 
  the 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  anal 
  vein 
  and 
  do 
  not 
  extend 
  so 
  far 
  

   toward 
  the 
  base, 
  this 
  species 
  approaching 
  closer 
  to 
  Trimerotropis 
  ; 
  the 
  cross- 
  veins,, 
  

   also, 
  are 
  more 
  distant 
  and 
  not 
  so 
  distinctly 
  scalariform, 
  so 
  that 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  character- 
  

   istic 
  features 
  of 
  Circoteltix 
  are 
  here 
  much 
  weakened.

  A

  Brownish 
  cinereous, 
  the 
  vertex 
  darker 
  than 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  head, 
  all 
  the 
  sculpturing 
  of 
  

   the 
  head 
  sharply 
  defined;

  anterior 
  lobe 
  of 
  pronotum 
  rather 
  strongly 
  corrugated, 
  the 
  median 
  transverse 
  

   sulcus 
  very 
  deeply 
  impressed 
  ; 
  surface 
  of 
  anterior 
  lobe 
  otherwise 
  smooth, 
  posterior 
  

   lobe 
  delicately 
  but 
  distinctly 
  rugulose; 
  median 
  carina 
  rather 
  prominent 
  and 
  heavy 
  on 
  

   anterior 
  lobe, 
  slight 
  but 
  sharply 
  defined 
  and 
  posteriorly 
  obsolescent 
  on 
  posterior

   Tegmina 
  marked 
  With 
  two 
  obscure, 
  narrow, 
  transverse 
  belts 
  of 
  dark 
  fuscous 
  flecks,, 
  

   one 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  one 
  beyoudthe 
  basal 
  fourth; 
  a 
  similar 
  but 
  faint 
  third 
  band 
  

   appears 
  before 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  apical 
  fourth, 
  and 
  beyond 
  it 
  a 
  few 
  obscure 
  quadrate 
  

   fuscous 
  flecks 
  in 
  the 
  diaphanous 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  tegmina, 
  caused 
  by 
  the 
  infumatiou 
  of 
  

   single 
  cells 
  and 
  the 
  nigrescence 
  of 
  their 
  bordering 
  veins. 
  Wiugs 
  very 
  pale 
  yellowish 
  

   or 
  milky, 
  with 
  a 
  diaphanous 
  tip,

  an 
  unusually 
  broad, 
  very 
  dark, 
  

   almost 
  piceous 
  middle 
  band, 
  occupying 
  about 
  oue-third 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  on 
  the 
  

   middle 
  of 
  the 
  costal 
  margin, 
  and 
  curving 
  around 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  augle; 
  its 
  outer 
  border 
  

   straight 
  or 
  even 
  slightly 
  concave 
  until 
  just 
  before 
  it 
  reaches 
  the 
  outer 
  margin, 
  which 
  

   it 
  avoids 
  by 
  bending 
  inwards 
  a 
  short 
  distance; 
  the 
  inuor 
  border 
  of 
  the 
  band 
  is» 
  

   strongly 
  anil 
  pretty 
  regularly 
  arcuate, 
  scarcely 
  tending 
  toward 
  the 
  base 
  above.
