and tapering to an acute apex; vulvar lamina rounded at apex, 
slightly divided, but the two divisions in contact with each other

BB. Males having the hind wings with one post-triangular row from triangle 
out for usually at least three cells, genital lobe half, or less than half, as 
prominent as the anterior lamina, hamule equally curved throughout, 
tapering to an acute apex, superior appendages with an inferior tooth. 
Females with the eleventh abdominal tergite 1-1:2 mm. in length, as 
long as the abdominal appendages, hairless and polished superiorly,

AA. Internal triangle of the front wing one-celled, the bridge cross-vein on all 
wings usually antenodal +, hind wings with 1 (¢) or 2(@) post-triangular

Supplementing the description given on page 279, some variations may be mentioned. A male from Atoyac 
taken by Schumann has the green stripe of abdominal segment 3 confluent with the transverse basal green 
line as described on page 279 for precow; the male from Jalapa has the same marks confluent, its hamule 
(fig. 48) approaches somewhat that of pracow. The two males from Caché and that from Panama (coll. 
McLach.) have three rows of cells in a considerable part of the area between A, and the margin of the 
hind wings, but in other characters agree with our diagnosis. 
Median labial lobe dark brown or black, lateral lobes yellow unmarked, elypeus pale green, thorax maroon- 
brown, an antehumeral, a mesepimeral and a metepimeral stripe, a metepisternal line, and often much of 
the metasternum, green ; as usual, the antehumeral stripe is wider at its upper end, where it is produced 
at a right angle toward (but not touching) its fellow of the opposite side ; the two epimeral stripes are
