less arranged in lines and with black bristles; the lateral scales 
are longer and stand at right angles to the surface ; scutellum 
black, with spindle-shaped white scales and black bristles; 
metanotuin black ; pleurae jet black, with three white horizontal 
lines (Fig. 46, d, iv.). 
Abdomen black, covered with black and bronzy scales and a 
few dull ochraceous ones in the middle, each segment with a 
prominent lateral tuft of black scales (Fig. 46, c, e); the abdomen 
is densely hairy. 
Wings with the costa deep black with three distinct very 
small white spots, two smaller basal ones and two small apical 
ones, some of these spots pass but very indistinctly into the 
first long vein ; most of the veins dark scaled, the lateral scales 
being clavate (Fig. 46, b), always dark but paler on the white areas 
of the vein ; the median scales are creamy white on most of the 
third long vein, the black forming 
throe spots; a small patch on 
each branch of the second fork-cell, 
a large patch on each branch of 
the fifth vein, and another on 
the stem, and two large patches 
on the sixth long vein; fringe uniformly brown, the lateral 
scales even on the pale areas are very dusky, so that the creamy 
spots on the wing field do not show up very strongly; first 
sub-marginal cell much longer and a little narrower than the 
second posterior cell, its base nearer the base of the wing than 
that of the latter, its stem less than half the length of the cell ; 
stem of the second posterior as long as the cell; mid cross-vein 
about half its length nearer the base of the wing than the' 
supernumerary cross-veii^, posterior cross-vein longer than the 
mid, more than its own length nearer the base of the wing 
(Fig. 46, a). 
Legs with the femora dark brown, tibiae and metatarsi of the 
fore legs mottled with numerous white scales, also the apex of 
the first and second tarsal joints of the fore-and mid-legs broadly 
white banded ; hind legs with the femora swollen, dark brown 
with white patches, one large patch near the apex, the extreme 
apex white; tibiae mottled black and white; metatarsi apically 
banded, and also the next three tarsal joints, the first black. 
Ungues thick, deep black, equal and simple, smaller on the 
mid-legs.
