Abdomen dark unctuous brown with golden hairs equal in 

 length to width of segments. Genitalia ordinary, claspers sub- 

 falcate-spatulate apically. 



Legs uniformly dark brown, except coxae which are pale; all 

 articulations marked by indistinct golden brown spots or rings. 



Wings pale cream with dark areas as follows: Basal third of 

 costa brown (l), 2 then a short cream area (2), then a long 

 brown area (3), one-fifth length of wing a pale area one-half as 

 long (4) , a brown area equal to this (5) , another pale area equal 

 to this (6), a brown area two-thirds as long as this (7), and 

 an apical pale area (8) . Subcosta with brown area below apical 

 half of (1) and one also below (3) . First longitudinal vein with 

 brown area like (1) on subcosta, but its next dark area (3) is 

 interrupted just after its beginning by a pale area equal to 



(2) in length, followed by brown area two-thirds the length of 



(3) ; the remaining apical markings of this vein are like (4), 

 (5), (6), (7), and (8) on costa. First submarginal cell twice the 

 length of the second posterior, its forks brown, their junction 

 pale, the stem brown, interrupted by pale areas at cross veins. 

 Third vein pale with 2 dark spots at cross veins and 1 at apex. 

 Fourth longitudinal vein with pale basal third, then dark to cross 

 veins, at which it is pale, and beyond which dark nearly to 

 junction of forks which is pale; beyond this point, both forks 

 are dark to apices which are pale. Fifth vein pale with a small 

 dark subbasal spot and a spot at forks, the anterior of which 

 has 1 long and 1 short basal dark spot and a similar preapical 

 one; basal three-eighths of posterior fork pale, the apical five- 

 eighths dark. Sixth vein with basal one-fourth pale, then a 

 short dark line, a short pale line, and the apical one-half dark. 

 Marginal fringe dark brown, with pale areas at all veins except 

 sixth. 



Female. — Color of head, body, legs, and wings similar to that 

 of male, but wings much darker and more distinctly marked. 

 White frontal tufts extended to middle of clypeus; proboscis as 

 in male but darker; palpi somewhat similar to those of M. 

 rossii Giles, but apical third cream-white with an ill-defined wide 

 brown ring near its middle, or subbasal in some specimens; 

 middle and basal thirds of palpus separated by a narrow snowy 

 ring ; basal scales erect. Antennae dark brown with golden gray 

 verticels. 



' (1), (2), etc., refer to numeration of costal areas and correlate these 

 with areas on other veins of winp.
