Extract

Cossus Brucei, nov. spec.

Expanse, male 2.50, female 3.00 inches.

Ground color, very pale gray, almost white, no dusky shading over the wing. Fore wings crossed by a great number of fine black lines. In the male none of these form reticulations except a few along the basal half of the internal vein and near the outer margin. The female has a few more of the reticulations in the outer third of the wing. On the male one line more prominent than the rest crosses the wing through the middle from the costa to the posterior margin at the origin of the fourth median vein, forming a straight line.
