Collar, tegulse, and metathorax yellow. Fore wing with the 

 interno-median hyaline patch unbroken ; two subapical streaks,, 

 one between veins 5 and 6 ; and three submarginal streaks. Hind 

 wing with a large hyaline patch crossed by veins 1, 2, and 3 ; the

5 . Tegulse and streaks on vertex of thorax white ; bands on 

 metathorax and abdomen yellow ; the first four abdominal bands 

 narrow. Wings shot with purple. Bore wing with the hyaline 

 patch in interno-median interspace not extending to near outer 

 margin ; only a small spot between veins 2 and 3, and the sub- 

 apical and submarginal spots smaller than in diaphana and melcena.

S • Brons pale yellow ; collar, tegulae, ineso- and metathorax 

 spotted with yellow ; abdomen with the bands incomplete on the 

 vertex ; the black parts shot with green ; wings yellowish hyaline ; 

 the veins and margins narrowly black ; the outer black margin 

 dentated at vein 2 of both wings. Birst joint of tarsi white. 



In this species veins 5 and 6 of the fore wing are very close 

 together, as also in sladeni, divisa, and others ; but as, in closely 

 allied species, there is every gradation between the extremes of 

 separation and approximation, this point is of no use in classifica-
