[December 
femora yellowish brown, paler at base and sometimes at apex, 
middle pair lightest; tibiae yellow at base and apex, brown be- 
tween; tarsi lemon yellow; fore wings brown in first tenth (ex- 
cept the yellowish costal margin and the paler outer half of 
scale) and with brown bands (due to dark pubescence) occupying 
most of the third tenth, all of eighth tenth, and the extreme tip 
of wing, between the bands with three or four faint maculations, 
the veins somewhat darkened with brown; bristles on veins of 
wings unicolorous, brown. Vertex strongly produced, about at- 
taining second segment of antenna, overhanging. Antennae six* 
segmented, segment 5 with a more or less distinct transverse 
suture at distal third; segment 1 short, subcylindrical, about as 
broad as long; 2 broadest in entire antenna; 3 slender, vasiform, 
about 4. 6 times as long as wide; 4 asymmetrical, swollen on outer 
surface, with a rather long and slender pedicel; 5 subfusiform, 
pedicellate; 6 long and very slender; sense cones slender, those 
on 3 and 4 bifurcate beyond base (Y-shaped). Mesoscutum with 
a longitudinal, median suture extending nearly to anterior mar- 
gin, the reticles on either side with their inner margins not at all 
deflected posteriorly. Wings of fore pair with first longitudinal 
vein united with ambient vein, posterior vein free, one bristle at. 
their fork and three basally; anterior vein and costa together 
with about eleven bristles beyond fork, the two series indis- 
tinguishable; posterior vein usually with six bristles beyond 
fork; all wing bristles short , stout, but not dilated, averaging about 
one-half as long as width of wing at middle. Abdomen strongly 
and sharply constricted at base of segment 2, which is the longest 
in the entire abdomen;, dorsal surface with the usual deep, 
prominent reticulation at sides, the intervening portion with 
transversely elongate polygons of reticulation arranged in regular 
transverse rows; segment 10 nearly tubular, about three-fourths 
as long as prothorax, not constricted at base, reticulate, divided 
above by a longitudinal suture ; bristles at apex of segment 9 about 
one-third as long as 10.
