334 HETEROCERA.

The ¢ of this species (if two specimens from the Candelaria Mts. are rightly 
identified) shows a long, somewhat naked and indented patch on the underside of the 
forewings, on the basal half of the cell, reaching above it to the stiff hair-fringe on the 
subcostal vein, while, in the hindwings a small, elongate, reduplicate mat of scales 
interferes with their transparency between the cell and the middle of vein 1’, a similar, 
but less conspicuous mat occurring nearer to the margin at the outer side of vein 1. 
The anal claspers of the ¢ are very long, curving upward, with inverted points.
