Fourteen specimens. 
The @ is larger than the 3, with obliquely porrect hairy palpi, extending scarcely 
twice the length of the head beyond it. In the @ Type the ultra-discal streak is 
brownish ochreous, extending backward to the middle of the cell, and scarcely 
interrupted by the almost obsolete outer discal patch ; the plical streak is also 
distinctly brownish ochreous.

The coloration of this species is quite normal, the dark, somewhat triangular, patch 
being clearly defined on either side by projections from the paler dorsal space beneath 
it; the space beyond the smaller patch, at the end of the cell, is also paler than the 
general ground-colour, a few dark striae, scarcely amounting to spots, alone indicating 
the anteterminal shade. In the ¢ the uncus is slightly deflected, double, and with a 
rather pronounced rounded bend, not projecting beyond its points; the claspers are 
spoon-shaped, inverted, and with a strong inverted hock projecting from the underside 
at half their length. | 
Anaphora numidia Druce was founded on three specimens: The ‘Type (¢ 4545 
Wilsm. Det. 1904) is from Orizaba (Boucard), a second specimen from the sane 
locality (¢ 4546 Wlsm. Det. 1904) must be referred to cathecta Wlsm., while the 
third specimen (4549 Drnt. Det. 1904), from Guatemala (Boucard), is trichosoma Drnt.
