reaching cell, gradually dilated from middle, reaching to Vs of costal edge 
of second segment, and occupying that entire segment beyond this point ; 
a transversely ovate, somewhat oblique, cloudy dark fuscous dot on base 
of cleft. Cilia brownish -fuscous, along their base lighter brownish-tawny, 
along costa and around apex of first segments blackish-fuscous. Hind 
wing glossy pale fuscous finely mottled with darker fuscous. Cilia greyish- 
fuscous with faint brassy reflections. 
Right clasper a small blunt process, bristled at base, followed by a 
narrow small fold. Left clasper with an almost rectangular basal plate and 
two apical pointed projections, proximal one acute. Juxta oblique, 
broadest below furcation, points sinuate, slender. (Slide No. 1038 D, holo- 
type.)

$ 18 mm. Head, antenna, thorax, abdomen whitish-ochreous, collar of 
head tawny. Palpus pale oclireous, terminal segment fuscous. Legs pale 
ochreous, infuscated above, median tibia with apical x / 3 fuscous, posteiior 
tibia mixed with brownish -fuscous above. Pore wing cleft, from before “/ 3 , 
first segment with costa gradually curved, dorsum straight, second segment 
pointed, termen gently rounded, very oblique, anal angle broadly rounded, 
hardly indicated. Whitish-ochreous, costal fourth of wing from base to 
apex suffused with light ochreous; a few minute scattered fuscous scales 
in a row below middle of costa; base of costal edge infuscated; a narrow 
dark coffee-brown strigula along costa well beyond base of cleft; a discal 
point at x / 3 and a somewhat suffused transversely ovate dot before base 
of cleft from dorsum of first segment to lower angle of cell; dorsal Vs 
wing from beyond base, and entire second segment, suffused with light 
brownish-fuscous, from beyond base of wing to below base of cleft moder- 
ately irrorated with fuscous; thence this irroration extending along lower 
half of second segment almost to its apex; a narrow suffused ochreous 
streak along basal third of dorsum from beyond base. Cilia along costa 
pale ochreous, elsewhere golden -fuscous, becoming paler towards base of 
cleft; a white bar on dorsum of first segment before apex. Hind wing 
glossy pale greyish-fuscous mixed and irrorated with darker fuscous. 
Cilia golden -fuscous. 
Right clasper a moderate horn directed downward, followed by a long 
thickened fold, and an subapical oblique spike. Left clasper oblique, with a 
very broad base produced apicad in a blunt point and a small median 
longitudinal fold; proximal projection long, curved at base; distal pro- 
jection moderate, acute. Anellus broadest beyond furcation, arms sinuate, 
stout, blunt, short-bristled, left one shortest (Slide No. 1041 D).
