Female ? Iron-gray, moderately stout. Palpi black, as- 

 cending, stout, curved, fringed, rising a little higher than the 

 vertex ; third joint elongate-conical, less than one-fourth of the 

 length of the second. Antennae hardly pubescent. Tegulae of 

 the thorax rather long. Abdomen pale ? Legs stout, smooth ; 

 spurs moderately long. Wings moderately broad ; fringe broad. 

 Fore wings acute, mostly black towards the base, near which there 

 is a deep black discal tuft; exterior border broadly black ; a black 

 spot on the middle of the costa. Hind wings yellow, with a 

 blackish border, which ceases at some distance from the interior 

 angle. Length of the body 5 ? lines ; of the wings 12 lines. 



The tuft of the fore wings (which are also somewhat in- 

 crassated at the base) and the yellow hind wings are almost 

 sufficient characters to distinguish this species as a new genus.
