Head (with the antennae, palpi) and thorax testaceous ; occiput, basal 

 joint of antennae, and prothorax clothed with testaceous, with an ad- 

 mixture of fuscous, hairs ; and there is a fringe of similar hairs on the 

 facial margin of the eye-sockets ; eyes dark coppery. Legs testa- 

 ceous, the posterior tibiae paler; tibiae and tarsi with few, short, 

 black spines ; spurs reddish-testaceous. Abdomen pale whitish testa- 

 ceous ; on the antepenultimate ventral segments is a very small, 

 reddish-testaceous, triangular tooth, and on the penultimate segment 

 a much larger tooth ; appendices testaceous ; app. sup. small, rounded, 

 and ear-shaped, extending little beyond the cavity of the last seg- 

 ment ; app. intermed. placed close together, proceeding from under 

 the middle of the upper margin of the segment, nearly straight, and 

 flattened laterally ; when viewed from the side each appendage is 

 seen to be dilated at the base, then with the upper margin excised 

 to the apex, which is obtuse ; app. inf. inserted close together on the 

 ventral margin, baud-like, curved strongly inwards, forming a deep 

 incision when viewed from beneath, the apex obtuse. 



Anterior wings fulvous, thickly clothed with short, procumbent, fuscous 

 pubescence, the apical half irrorated with many small and indistinct 

 whitish dots ; inner margin with three yellow spots, viz. an elongate 

 one at the base, a long triangular one about the middle, and a small 

 one before the anal angle ; the pubescence in the spaces between 

 these spots is darker, almost blackish fuscous ; apical fringe alter- 

 nately fuscous and whitish ; veins testaceous, the costal margin at 

 the base, and the basal portion of the radius, ciliated with fuscous. 

 Posterior wings subhyaline, slightly smoky ; the fringes at the anal 

 angle very long, silky, and whitish. (PI. II. fig. 3, details.)
