the hind tarsi are much infuscated, especially dorsally, and the hind tibiae 
streaked with blackish brown along the outer ventral edge from base to |. 
The antennae are nearly entirely blackish except on the pedicel and

transverse band there ; a second more obscure broad transverse cloud 
between the end of the neuration and the tip of the wing. Head and
