flexible process, twice longer tliau tlie individual joint. Meso- and 
meta-tliorax usually, but not always, with the surface of the lobea 
somewhat blackish. 
Wings greyish-white : anterior wings with very numerous short 
transversely-elongate sjjots, which are more or less confluent ; in the 
middle of the disc is a larger and darker spot, which bears in its centre 
a horny blackish dot most visible on the under-side ; towards the base 
is another similar but smaller spot, and there are also larger and darker 
spots round the apical margin ; neuration yellowish, the veins and 
margins shortly fringed with yellow : posterior wings with the darker 
spots almost obsolete, more evident in the apical portion ; the pteros- 
tigmatical region yellowish-grey ; a vestige of the median dark spot 
with horny centre, as in the fore-wings ; the fringe of the inner margin 
much longer, yellow. 
Legs pale lemon-yellow, with long yellow pubescence ; the knees 
and tarsal articulations marked with blackish. 
Abdomen fuscous, densely clothed with long pale yellow hairs. 
The last dorsal segment apparently carries in the middle a very small 
yellow lobe : the lateral valves are very large, 
concave, yellow, and with long yellow fringes ; 
in the middle, above, they seem to be joined 
together by a band which leaves an open space 
between it and the margin of the last segment, 
in which space is seen the small lobe men- 
tioned above ; when viewed from above, these 
lobes appear to end in a long curved process,

gin ; when viewed from beneath, they form two large rounded lobes, 
not connected in the middle : the parts in the cavity formed by these 
lobes are piceous, with two small triangular piceous appendices, the 
tips of which are somewhat mucronate and turned outwards,
