grey which are placed one over each wing base ; this is well seen with a hand 
lens. I he greater part of the mesonotum is clad with long thin hair-like 
curved scales mostly white but with pale yellow ones amongst them and 
in addition to these scales there are about six well-defined patches of long 
white twisted scales; down the centre is a row of golden-brown bristles and 
there are others scattered over the surface. Scutellum yellowish with short 
and long snow-white irregular scales. Pleurae with light yellow and deep 
rown patches and with patches of elliptical and long irregular scales. 
Wings yellowish in front and clad with yellowish and parti-coloured scales 
which are yellowish at the base black at the tips; towards the apices of the 
veins the scales are clavate but not so markedly as those at the base of the 
wing- The fork cells are of medium length the first longer and narrower 
than the second, its base nearer the apex of the wing, its stem rather longer 
than the cell. In the region of the cross veins the wing is stained with dark 
brown pigment. The supernumerary and mid cross-veins lie in one line and 
the posterior cross vein is a trifle to the apical side of the median. The 
fringe at the apex is deep golden as far as the upper branch of the second vein 
then black as far as the third vein then pale yellow followed by black and then 
pale spots. Coxae ochraceous with erect black and white scales ; femora 
brownish-yellow clad entirely with erect parti-coloured scales arid white 
ones mixed and in places the white are massed into bands as follows: a 
narrow one about the middle of each femur and a fairly broad one at the i 
each, on each tibia there is a white band at base, apex and in the 
middle the one at the apex being very broad and conspicuous. The fore ! 
and mid metatarsi and tarsi are golden-brown with parti-coloured scales i 
black at the tip. On the hind leg there is a narrow white band at the base 
of the metatarsus and the tarsal joints are nearly all white scaled. The ! 
ungues on all the legs (even the hind) are large and stout and each unguP 
bears a very large tooth. 
Abdomen .—First segment fawn-brown naked except for a central tuft I 
of large broad scales some of which are cordate others fan-shaped with finely 
dentate tree ends. Most of these scales are white but a few are yellowish- 
brown. There are numerous fine long hairs of a golden-brown colour also 
present on this segment. The second segment has a central tuft of fan¬ 
shaped scales with dentate ends white and golden-brown in colour and on 
either side is a tuft similar scales pure white in colour while the intermediate ' 
surface is clad with blackish scales, the third segment has a central mass of 
ochraceous scales and towards its apex numerous large erect fan-shaped scales 
ochraceous at the bases dull black at their tips, the remaining segments are 
clad with a mixture of ochraceous, parti-coloured and pure white scales 
the white predominating on the terminal segments and forming broad white 
bands. & 
Male. Basal joint of antenna rich apricot, remaining segments banded 
dark ' brown and golden-brown; plumes bright golden-brown. Palpi longer 
than the proboscis by their ultimate joint ; all the joints are of a golden- 
brown colour; the ultimate joint has a few long white scales at the base and 
scattered parti-coloured scales over the rest of its surface and lateral rows of 
long golden hairs, the penultimate joint is white scaled at its base and apex 
the scales at the base lying flat and between these scales are golden and
