median band of broad black scales. Scutal 
scales more brownish than in male, indefinite 
light and dark areas usually apparent; pre- 
scutellar, supra-alar, and scutellar bristles 
dusky. Ppn densely covered with narrow and 
narrow- curved dark scales, a few broad dark 
and pale scales may be present ventrally and 
posteriorly. Pleural scale patches more strong- 
ly developed than in male, always a few 
scales on paratergite. Fore and mid femora 
more extensively pale-scaled posteriorly than 
in male. Tarsal claws equal, fore and mid 
claws each unidentate, hind claw simple. 
Wing with or without a basal posterior line 
of pale scales on the costa, may also be a few 
pale scales basally on vein 1 and scattered 
elsewhere. Tergite I with a few baso-median 
pale scales and a lateral white band; V-VII 
(sometimes only VI-VII) with narrow creamy 
apical bands; sub-basal lateral creamy spots 
present on II-VI. Sternites VI-VII with a pale 
apical band; on II-VI the pale-scaled area 
medially may extend to the posterior margin. 
LARVA: Head: Antenna sparsely spiculate; 
antennal hair with 1-4 branches, inserted 
medially. Mouth brush with comb-like tips. 
Preclypeal spines stout, curved, darkened. 
Hair 4 minute, with about 4-5 branches; 5 
and 6 single, well-produced; 7 with 7-10 
branches; 8 and 9 with 2-3; 12 with 3-5; 13 
single; 14 with 1-2; 15 with 2-4; 17 single; 
18 with 1-2; 20 with 3-4. Mentum with 8-10 
teeth. Abdomen: Dorso-lateral hairs on I and 
II with 3-4 branches. Lateral hairs on I to 
VI double or triple. Pentad hair 1 with 2-4 
branches; 3 with 9-15; 5 with 4-6. Comb with 
23-28 small acutely tapered scales in a patch, 
each with a lateral fringe from base to apex. 
Siphon pale, short and broad, acus present; 
5-12 pecten teeth, each with several basal 
denticles; siphon hair tuft inserted medially 
and just before apex of last pecten tooth, 
with 10-13 faintly plumose branches. Anal 
plate narrowly incomplete, some small den- 
ticles present dorsally on the posterior margin; 
Ih single; isc with 9-11 branches; ventral 
brush extends nearly the whole length of the

anal plate, of 15-17 tufts, each with 4-12 
branches, all but the basal two arising from a 
connected barred area. Anal gills very short, 
tapered from near base to a round apex; 
dorsal pair approximately one-half as long as 
the anal plate and slightly longer than the 
ventral pair. ' 
BIONOMICS: The only information found in j 
the literature for the adult of this subspecies 
is a note by Ludlow (1905:135) stating that 
adults were "caught in woods." The single 
female cotype specimen in the British Mu- 
seum is labeled from "mangroves."
