Size of deltoidata. Superior wings entire, the terminal margin straight, not 
falcate ; wood-brown, traversed by a multitude of slender undulated brown lines ; 
the median space circumscribed by two narrow bands of a dirty white, each divided 
in the middle by a brown line ; this space, which includes several dark lines (of 
which the exterior two tend to form rings), encloses, in the cellule, an ashy-grey 
spot, prolonged and constricted on the costa, and marked in its centre by a black 
dot ; the sub-terminal line is whitish, but very irregular, thickened in its lower 
portion, and divided above by an obUque black mark ; the fringe is preceded by 
black festooned marks, regular, but isolated by the nervures : inferior wings ochreous- 
yellow, somewhat shining, also bordered by black festoons, but with only faint 
traces of lines ; beneath they are whitish-yellow, with the same faint traces of lines 
formed by brown dots, and with a black cellular mark. Palpi rather broad, the 
second joint flattened and securiform, the third forming a very short tubercle. 
Abdomen marked with a row of geminated black dots. I have seen only the ? .

$ . Entirely black, not shining, very finely and thickly punctured 
throughout. 
Head — Antenna, insertion of each of the joints piceous, extreme apex of 1st, 2nd, 
and 3rd joints with a few short, erect, piceous hairs. 
Thorax — Pronotum with a narrow, transverse channel behind the anterior margin ; 
side margins reflexed ; disc convex. Scutellum convex, slightly depressed, and 
transversely wrinkled towards the apex. Elytra less finely punctured than the 
pronotum. Clavus with three rows of punctures between the inner margin and 
nerve, the central one somewhat irregular, and between the nerve and the

taken by sweeping low plants on the plains of Jordan in April.
