large patch of white scales at the root of the wings and another 
at the base of the anterior legs, with a dense tuft of golden hairs 
springing from it. 
Abdomen covered with deep brownish-black scales, the bases 
of the segments with white bands which spread out laterally, 
especially on the last three segments; covered laterally and 
dorsally with flaxen hairs, the lateral ones very long ; genitalia 
deep brown and very hairy. 
Legs uniformly deep brown, with sometimes a rather dull 
purplish tinge, coxae black with white scales; femora slightly 
paler at the base and ventrally; fore and mid ungues unequal, 
the larger with a distinct tooth towards the base, the smaller 
apparently simple, hind ones equal and simple. 
Wings with the veins bordered with long narrow scales, the 
veins bright brown; first sub-marginal cell longer and narrower 
than the second posterior cell, which is very short and broad, 
their bases about level; stem of the first sub-marginal equal to 
the length of the cell; that of the second posterior cell much 
longer than the cell; posterior cross-vein about its own length 
distant from the mid cross-vein ; mid and supernumerary cross¬ 
veins form a distinct angle; fringe brown with grey reflections.

second posterior cell, their bases about equal, that of the former 
rather the nearer to the base of the wing; stem of the first sub¬ 
marginal cell equal to rather more than half the length of the 
cell; stem of the second posterior cell about the same length, 
equal to about two-thirds of the length of the cell; posterior cross¬ 
vein about equal to the mid cross-vein, nearly its own length 
distant from the latter. Abdomen with basal white bands 
more uniform than in the £ . Ungues equal and uniserrated.
