cell ; the second at rather a long distance beyond it ; the third at about one third the distance 
between the second and fourth ; the fourth about midM'ay between the second and the 
. apex, terminating on the costa just above the apex. Discoidal cell short, but little more 
than one third the length of the wing. Upjjer discocellular nervule exti'emely short ; middle 
discocellular curved, rather more than half the length of the lower discocellular, which is 
slightly curved, and anastomoses with the third median nervule at its origin, or shortly 
beyond it. Third median nervule moderately curved. 
" Hind iving obovate ; tlie margins all nearlj- equal in length ; the outer margin sinuate, some- 
times prolonged into a short tail at the termination of the third median nervule, Prae- 
costal nervure simple, short, curved outwards. Costal nervure considerably curved at its 
origin. Upper discocellular nervule slender, directed almost immediately outwards ; lower 
discocellular short, slightly curved, very slender, almost atrophied, uniting with the median 
nervure opposite to the origin of the second median nervule, or with the base of the third 
median nervule, which is but little curved. 
" Fore legs of the male clothed with long delicate hairs. Tibia shorter than the femur, 
cylindric. Tarsus shorter than the tibia, nearly cylindric, tapering to a point at the apex. 
Of the female scaly and hairy. Tibia shorter than the femur, spiny within towards the 
apex. Tarsus shorter than the tibia; the first joint longer than the rest combined, curved, 
spiny within and armed, as are the three following joints, at the apex, with a stout spine 
covered by a tuft of hair at the base of the following joint ; fourth and fifth joints trans- 
verse. 
" Middle and land legs, with the tibiae shorter than the femora, spiny externally and laterally, 
the lateral spines longest; spurs long and stout. Tarsi about one fourth longer than the 
femora, rather densely spiny all around ; the spines of the upper surface slenderest, the 
lateral ones the longest, those of the lower surface arranged in two regular series : first 
joint exactly equal to the rest combined ; second, third, and fourth progressively shorter ; 
fifth of equal length with the third. Claws rather short, curved, compressed. Paronychia 
bilaciniatc : the outer lacinia as long as, and broader than, the claw, which it quite covers ; 
inner nearly strap-shaped, slightly tapering, very little shorter than the outer one. 
Pulvillus two-jointed, as long as tho claw ; the second joint broad. 
" Lakva cylindrical, spiny ; the spines on all the segments about equal in length. 
" Pupa elongate ovate, constricted, spiny." {Douhledaij, I. c.)
