Tyi)e,fl(ivescens, Felder. 



Antennae long ; club slender, with a recurved terminal crook, tip 

 acuminate. Palpi well separated, second joiut densely scaled, 

 third joint minute, obtusely conical. Fore wing : outer margin 

 considerably longer than inner margin ; cell less than two-thirds 

 length of costa ; vein 12 reaching costa well before end of cell; 

 discocellulars inwardly oblique ; middle one considerably longer 

 than lower ; vein .5 considerably nearer to 4 than to fi ; vein 3 well 

 before end of cell ; vein 2 close to base of wing, more than twice 

 as far from end of cell as from base of wing ; lower margin of 

 cell slightly arched between veins 2 and 3. Hind wing slightly 

 elongate, outer margin even ; vein 7 well before end of cell, only 

 slightly nearer to 6 than to 8 ; discocellulars faint ; vein .5 not 

 traceable ; vein 3 well before end of cell, almost equidistant from 

 2 and 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base 

 of wing ; lower margin of cell slightly angled at vein 2. Hind tibioo 

 with two pairs of spurs. No secondary sexual characters on wings 

 of male.

 vein 12 reaching costa almost opposite the end of cell; middle 

 discocellular more than twice as long as lower discocellular ; vein ^ 

 from close to bottom of cell ; vein 3 well before end of cell, about 

 three times as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to 

 base of wing than to end of cell. Hind wing rather elongate, 

 outer margin even ; vein 7 shortly before end of cell ; discocellulars 

 very faint ; vein .'i not traceable ; veins 2, 3, and 4 all close 

 together ; vein 3 about twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 

 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing; lower
