CATALOGUE OF 
Female. Dark brown. Proboscis tawny. Palpi and antennae 
blackish. Abdomen above luleous, with two rows of black spots. 
Fore wings with a testaceous dot at the tip of the discal areolet. 
Hind wings testaceous towards the base. Length of the body 7 
lines ; of the wings 22 lines. 
This species differs somewhat from the typical form of Halesi- 
dota ; the palpi are longer, the third inferior vein of the fore wings 
is further from the second, and the fourth is much further from the 
third. In the length of the spurs of the hind tibiae it is between 
H. tessellaris and H. histrionica, and has some resemblance to the 
genus Op harm, from which it is distinguished by the shortness of 
the terminal joint of the palpi.
