creamy scaled for the apical two-thirds, the base of the ultimate is clad with 
black scales, its apex witli creamy scales. The black scales at the base 
of he palpi are elongated. Proboscis, equal in length to the palpi, black 
scaled with yellow apex. r r 
TW-Protboradc lobes dark brown, with a few bristles inserted 
on the lobe but no scales, though a dense tuft of spatulate scales on the 
margin of the mesonotum lies immediately above each of them and most 
probably really Delongs to the prothorax. Mesonotum, slate-grey in the 
centre brown at the sides, with a narrow median dark line running the 
whole length and ending in a triangular spot opposite the centre Sf the 
scutellum, and on either side of this there is a dark brown line which ends 
antenorly internal to a dark brown oval spot about the junction of anterior 
an middle thirds. The scales are white narrow-curved scales arranged 
m lines with bare spaces between. Anteriorly there is a tuft of long white 
scales in the centre, and on either side just below the shoulder, immediately 
above the prothoracic lobes is a dense tuft of dark brown spatulate scale 
which stand out like palisades. Scutellum, dark brown in the centre with 
a grey frosting, pale muddy-brown, laterally ; scales similar to the mesonotal 
scales ; bristles, pale golden at the bases, dark brown at the apices. Pleura? 
pa e brown with three rows of dark brown spots running across it horizon- 
ta y, and a row of golden bristles running vertically down its centre. 
W mgs, with costa black scaled broken by six spots of creamy-yellow scales 
two near the base separated by a short black spot, the next at the apex 
of the basal third followed by a long black spot after which yellow and 
black sea es alternate. The third black spot involves the first long vein but 
beneath the fourth black scaled area the first vein is only involved to the 
extent of three small.spots placed at either extremity and in the middle the in¬ 
tervening spaces being scaled with creamy-yellow. After this the first vein 
is scaled exactly as the costa is. On the wing field the black scales are 
disposed as follows : a small patch near the base of second vein, a few scales I 
at the base of first fork cell, a few near the base of its upper branch, a patch 
exactly corresponding to the sixth black scaled area of the costa, two patches 
on the lower branch, one just before its centre, one at its apex, a few black 
scales at the base and a few at the apex of the third vein, two black patches 
towards the apex of the fourth vein before its division and two on each of its 
branches, three patches on the upper branch of the fifth and one at the apex 
of the lower branch and small one near the base of the undivided portion 
of the vein, a small spot about the middle of the sixth vein and a lon<r area 
near its apex. All the rest of the wing is clad with creamy-yellow scales. 
I he median scales where present are spindle-shaped, the lateral, narrow 
lanceolate. The fringe is yellow, opposite to and on either side of the 
termination of the veins, black between. Coxae of legs dark brown. Fore 
coxze hairy and scaled in front. Fore and mid legs black scaled on tibia? 
and femora. A row of golden spines and some creamy scales at the apex 
of tibiae. Metatarsus and first two tarsal joints with fairly broad apical 
creamy bands, these bands very slightly involve the bases of the tarsal 
joints, the rest of the metatarsus and tarsus black scaled. Hind legs: 
a few creamy scales at the apex of femora and tibiae which are black scaled • 
Iv! e ™? tatarsu ; ; ai ? d drst two tarsal joints shew broad apical creamy bands, 
the third tarsal joint is clad with creamy scales at the apex and base, and the 
ultimate jomUs entirely clad with creamy scales the rest of the metatarsus 
and tarsus being black scaled.
