fork-cell, its base a very little 
nearer the base of the wing than that of the second, its stem 
about half the length of the cell, stem of the second fork-cell

Observations. —Described from three §’s, one taken in the 
open at sunset. A very marked species easily told by the leg' 
ornamentation, the white band or spot near the base of the 
tibiae being very characteristic, in conjunction with the last two 
hind tarsals being all white. The banding of the legs seems much 
wider below than above. 3
