Male, Whitish cinereous, stout, with a very slight pale fawn- 

 coloured tinge. Palpi long, compressed, fringed to their tips, 

 reflexed over the head to the middle of the thorax ; second joint 

 vertical, slightly curved ; third horizontal, as long as the second, 

 with which it forms a right angle. Antennae pubescent, rather 

 short, hardly serrated. Abdomen extending a little beyond the 

 hind wings. Legs stout; fore legs^ densely pilose. Wings rather 

 broad and short; marginal points black, forming lunules in the fore 

 wings ; fringe twice interlined. Fore wings acutely rectangular, 

 with two slender denticulated incomplete black lines, between 

 Which there is an oblique oblong luteous discal spot ; marginal 

 space pale brownish, like that of the hind wings ; in the latter the 

 lines are much more distinct beneath than above. Female. — Palpi 

 curved, not angular, ascending higher than the vertex, but not 

 reflexed over the head. Length of the body 3 — 4 lines ; of the wings 

 7 — 8 lines. 



This and the three following species may be included in one 

 group; the filth is somewhat different in structure, and the sixth 

 species recedes still more from the first group.
