 first three dorsal segments ; terminal joint also dark ; yellowish 

 pubescence. Legs moderately long, slender, cinereous, articula- 

 tions pale. Wings pellucid, with a very pale yellowish tint ; 

 moderately haired, more dense towards the tip ; a rich golden 

 reflection variegated with ill-defined spots of pale yellow or 

 whitish hairs. Three longitudinal almost equidistant spots on the 

 costal vein ; a spot just below the third costal, and one at the end 

 of the second longitudinal vein immediately beyond the tip of the 

 wing, a sixth spot below the second longitudinal vein slightly 

 anterior to the second costal spot, a seventh mid-way between the 

 last and the apical spot, and three almost equidistant spots (the last 

 a short distance from the posterior border), along the anterior side 

 of the third longitudinal vein ; the last is an irregular arcuation 

 from the posterior margin, up the posterior branch of the third 

 longitudinal vein, extending about half way down the anterior 

 branch, and falling vertically again to the margin. Second longi- 

 tudinal running rather close to the costa, joining the margin 

 beyond the apex of the wing ; cioss-vein rather oljlique, indistinct ; 

 third longitudinal vein indistinct, turning abruptly to the posterior
