to about half the length of the head ; the tips converging, scaly, except at the base beneath 
and on the back of the terminal half of the second joint, which are hairy. Terminal joint 
small, ovate-conic. 
'■^Antenna strong, rather more than half the length of the fore wing, terminated by an elon- 
gated, rather slender club, the tip of which is slightly curved outwardly. 
" TnoEAX elongate-ovate, robust, woolly, spotted with white in front. 
" Fore wings elongate-triangular. Anterior margin not strongly arched ; apical angle rather 
obtuse ; apical margin about two thirds of the length of the anterior, very slightly scalloped, 
its anterior portion rather convex, but emarginate below the middle ; anal angle strongly 
rounded. Inner margin equal in length to the apical one. Subcostal vein having the first 
. branch arising at about one fourth of the length of the wing ; second branch arising 
rather beyond half the length of the wing; third branch arising at about two thirds of its 
length, and extending to the tip ; fourth branch arising halfway between the third and 
the tip, extending to the apical margin below tlic apex ; terminal portion of the vein more 
oblique. Upper discocellular vein extremely short, transverse, arising at about one third 
of the length of the subcostal vein ; middle discocellular very short, curved, forming the 
base of the lower discoidal vein ; lower discocellular vein obsolete, so that the discoidal cell 
is open. Median vein strong, its third branch not strongly arched at the base. 
*' Hind triiiffs subtriangular. Costal margin much arched at the base ; outer margin deeply 
scalloped ; the margin between the discoidal vein and the third median branch being 
somewhat elongated into a very short truncated tail. Prccostal vein slightly oblique in a 
direction from the body, and forked at the tip. Subcostal vein branching near the base. 
The upper discocellular forming the straight base of the discoidal vein, and the lower disco- 
cellular obsolete, the cell being open. 
" Fore legs of the male small, feathered, the tibia shorter than the femur, and the tarsus nearly 
equal to tlie tibia in length, exarticulato, and destitute of apical claws ; annulated alternately 
with black and white hairs. Of the female about the same length as those of the male, 
more slender, and clothed with fine scales, the tarsus furnished with apical claws. 
*' Middle and hind legs strong ; tibiae and tarsi armed l)eneath with rows of minute spines ; the 
middle pair longer than the hind ones ; claws rather large, sickle-shaped, and very acute.
