Thorax .—Prothoracic lobes small, dusky brown, destitute of scales 
but with a few black hairs inserted on each lobe. Mesonotum, brown, clac 
with a few scattered black bristles some of which are white at their bases 
but without scales of any sort. There are two dark brown lines in front 
one on either side of the middle line, and in the centre there is a very 
imperfectly marked third line. Pleurae, colourless and without scales 
Wings, with the whole wing surface clad with minute spines giving it a 
slightly brownish tinge; veins clad with narrow spindle-shaped mediar 
scales and narrow lanceolate lateral, in colour dark brown; first 
submarginal cell much longer and slightly narrower than second posterior, 
its stem scarcely hall the length of the cell, its base much nearer base ol 
wing than second posterior; median transverse vein nearer apex of wing 
than the supernumerary, posterior cross vein scarcely its own length from 
median cross vein ; wing destitute of alula. There is a well marked 
spurious vein tunning parallel with the fifth for nearly its whole length 
between it and the sixth. Coxae, colourless ; femora, pale beneath. The 
scales of the legs are purple or dark brown according to the angle at 
which the light strikes them. Under a hand lens they appear paler at the 
apex of metatarsus and tarsal joints and give an appearance of banding., 
but under a 2/3 this does not shew, but the base of each joint is naked and 
light coloured, and I think the banded appearance is really due to this; it is 
best marked in the front legs. Ungues equal and simple on all legs. 
Ahdomen. —Reddish-brown dorsally, pale beneath, clad only with hairs 
dark brown in colour, without scales. 
Male Head.—Under a hand lens from the front, grey, but if looked at 
from behind the vertex is black; there is a central white line running back 
Irom it and on either side a round eminence coloured light brown, outside 
this the eyes shewing through colour the head black. Under a 2/3 the colour 
is grey with a triangular black patch in front. The centre shews a deep 
median suture and on either side there is a mffddy-brown tint. All this 
differentiation of colour is only seen in the fresh specimen and disappears 
when the head collapses on drying. On the vertex is a tuft of small white 
sea es parted in the centre and composed of not more than 10 or 12 scales 
at the most, and the vertical bristles are white at the base, dark brown at 
the apex, over the rest of the head there are some scattered black bristles 
inserted, and behind on the nape two or three rows of brown upright forked 
sea es. Basal joint of antenna muddy-brown, nude, remaining joints white 
except the last two or three which are dusky, verticillate hairs, dark brown. 
C ypeus nude, pale muddy-brown in colour. Palpi, slender and very lightly 
scaled with brown scales, last two joints, clavate; proboscis slender, similarly 
scciicd. 
Thorax. Prothoracic lobes. Dusky, clad with a few black bristles. 
Mesonotum. A broad golden-brown line in the centre with three darker j 
lines superimposed one on its centre and one at either margin, on each of 
ese ines a row of bristles is inserted, some of which are white, some dark 
rown wit 1 white tips. The sides of the mesonotum have a greenish tinge, 
there are no scales. Scutellum, muddy-brown, with a black spot in the 
middle and brownish-black bristles, but no scales. Pleurae, dirty white and 
naked. W mgs as in the female. Legs as in the female, except that the fore 
and mid ungues are unequal, the large-unguis being uniserrate.
