Male.—Length, 33 mm.; expanse of wings, 44 mm.; greatest width of anterior wing, 5.6 mm.; length of antenna, 6 mm.; luteous, marked with dark fuscous; clothed with white hairs, thickly so on abdomen; apical segments of abdomen with some black hairs among the white ones.

Face flat, luteous, bordered above by a pitchy-black band separating the antennae and narrowly bordering them in front and on the outer side; a longitudinal median black line extends from this band almost to the clypeus. Circum-ocular area luteous, except along the anterior portion of the vertex, where it is fuscous, and on the margin next the eye, opposite the middle of anterior joint of maxillary palpiger, where there is a fuscous spot. Clypeus rather short, luteous, on either side anteriorly an impressed spot; above, a few black bristles. Labrum transverse, luteous; rounded laterally and narrowed anteriorly, nearly straight in front, where it is sparsely clothed with light-coloured hairs. Mandibles piceous, black at tips.

page 94 note * In one specimen, a co-type, collected in Los Angeles County, California, by Mr. Albert Koebele, the bands are interrupted at the longitudinal median furrow; in another co-type, collected July 5, 1897, at Sam Simon, Arizona, by Mr. H. G. Hubbard, these bands are almost enterely merged into one.

page 95 note * This is a small specimen; a female, co-type, from Los Angeles County, California, collected in August by Mr. Albert Keobele, is 29 mm. in length and expands 51 mm. A third specimen, also a female co-type, from the same locality, collected in July by the same person is slightly smaller than his latter.
