roots of the antennae ; many clothed with flat scales of battle¬ 
dore-shaped outline, mingled with short falciform scales. No 
forked scales can at any rate be distinctly made out, but there 
may be some deep in the fold of the nape. Antennae black, with 
bare testaceous basal joints. Proboscis and palpi sooty, the latter 
short, but distinctly five-jointed. Pleurae black, with narrow 
snowy markings ; coxae mainly white. Hind femora entirely 
white, except a narrow dark band near its base, and another, 
rather broader, near the apex; on the ventral side these bands 
are narrower, and those of the other femora are almost entirely 
white. The remaining leg-joints are dusky throughout, except 
for broad but ill-contrasted brownish-yellow bands on the tibio- 
tarsal and first tarsal articulations.
