Thorax ashy grey in the middle, with slight testaceous 

 tessellation, a narrow median dark line and traces of lateral ones 

 on it, sides deep brown, sparsely clothed with rather long golden 

 hair-like curved scales and an anterior tuft of creamy narrow- 

 curved ones projecting in front; scutellum similar colour with 

 golden hair-like scales ; prothoracic lobes dark with a patch of 

 dark outstanding scales, apparently rounded apically ; metanotum 

 testaceous with a median dark line ; pleurae deep brown with 

 grey reflections and a few pale golden hairs. 



Abdomen deep shiny brown with dull golden hairs ; basal 

 segment of genitalia with dark spatulate scales ; the basal lobe 

 composed of two segments, the apical one narrower and smaller 

 than the basal, the clasper arising from its outer corner from a 

 deep notch; claspers sword-like and curved, slightly expanded 

 towards the apex. 



Legs deep brown, unhanded, rather pale basally ; fore ungues 

 very nearly equal and simple, mid very unequal, the larger 

 uniserrate ; the smaller very minute ; hind equal, simple, very 

 small. 



Wings with two prominent yellow spots on the outer costal 

 border and a third which does not actually reach the costal vein ; 

 the first at about the level of the middle of the first fork-cell and 

 spreads evenly on to the first long vein, the second is just in front 

 of the cross-veins and also spreads evenly on to the first long 

 vein, the third is more basal and occurs on the first long vein 

 and on the under part of the costal vein ; there is also a small

pale apical spot ; a pale area at the base of the first fork-cell, 

 another at the cross-veins, a trace of one on the third long vein 

 towards its basal area and a few pale scales elsewhere but 

 nowhere forming spots, rest of wings dark scaled ; fringe 

 unspotted ; first sub-marginal cell considerably longer and 

 narrower than the second posterior cell, its base slightly nearer 

 the base of the wing, its stem nearly as long as the cell ; stem of
