dark, minutely banded, apically and basally on the tarsi, the 
femora and tibiae with a pale creamy ventral line. Wings with 
the sub-costal pale scaled. 
9. Head dark, clothed with rather large narrow-curved 
creamy scales and flat creamy lateral scales and dark chaetae in 
front; upright forked scales dark, a few pale ones in front; 
clypeus brown with grey sheen; palpi brown with creamy scales 
at the apex and some nearer the base ; proboscis dark at base 
and apex, the median creamy area with some scattered dark 
scales; antennae dark brown, base of the second segment bright, 
testaceous. 
Thorax dark brown, clothed with rich brown narrow-curved 
scales ; a pale scaled twice-curved line on each side, and a pale 
scaled short line on each side in front and over the roots of the 
wings ; in the middle in front are traces of two parallel narrow 
dark lines with somewhat paler scales on each side ; supra and 
pre-alar chaetae brown with pale apices ; the supra-alar long and 
darker than the others; scutellum pale brown with narrow- 
curved pale scales and long brown posterior border-bristles ; the 
scales at the back of the mesonotum are similar in colour to 
those of the scutellum; metanotum bright brown; pleurae 
brown with patches of pale scales. 
Abdomen with the basal segment ochraceous with pale scales, 
the second to fifth segments dark, with grey basal bands, which

border-bristles thin and pale golden; venter bright ochreous 
yellow with pale scales, a few dusky ones in the mid region. 
Legs rather long, dark, femora and tibiae pale below, those 
of the fore and mid legs with a pale scaled line in addition ; faint 
traces of very narrow apical and basal pale banding to the hind 
tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi scarcely perceptible on the fore and 
mid legs ; bases of the legs pallid; femora and tibiae slightly 
spinose, spines pallid; ungues equal and simple. 
Wings with brown scales, a few creamy ones at the base of 
the costa and on all the sub-costal, and a few pale scales on the 
first long vein; first sub-marginal cell much longer and narrower 
than the second posterior cell, its base much nearer the base of 
the wing, its stem about one-third the length of the cell, 
stem of the second posterior nearly as long as the cell; posterior
