moderately broad, minutely black-speckled; line blackish, straight, distinct, 

 ochraceous-bordered on the inner side, whitish-bordered on the outer side ; 

 discal point black, minute; fringe ochraceous. Fore wings falcate, excavated 

 behind the tips, which are more speckled with black than the rest of the 

 wing; interior line bent, almost obsolete except towards thecosta; exterior 

 border hardly convex. Length of the body 5? lines; of the wings 14 lines. 

 East Florida." 



This species is quite near D. varus, and may prove to be a variety of it, 

 as I observed from an examination of Walker's type in the British Museum.

Plead much smaller, shorter than in Tetrads and Eugonia, with the 

 front nearly square, narrowing slightly anteriorly. Palpi short, small not 

 extending beyond the front of the head. Male antennae well pectinated. 

 Fore wings with the costa nearly straight, sinuous, falcate, the apex acute, 

 prolonged, with more of an excavation beneath than in Tetrads or Eugonia, 

 the angle in the middle of the edge being well pronounced. Hind wings 

 with a large, prominent "tail" or angle, rather more pronounced than in 

 Tetrads, with usually a slight tooth between the apex and the angle. 

 Venation: two subcostal cells, the inner lozenge-shaped, the outer long and 

 narrow; the anterior discal venule straight, the posterior oblique, slightly 

 bent ; otherwise the venation is as in Tetrads and Eugonia. Hind legs 

 with the tibiae slightly enlarged ; tarsi nearly as long as the tibiae. Colora- 

 tion : lilac-gray or pale ochreous, with two nearly parallel lines on the tore 

 wings and a single line on the posterior pair; sometimes a large reddish- 

 brown discal spot on the fore wings. 



The species may be separated from those of Eugonia and Tetrads by 

 the small, short head and small palpi, scarcely extending beyond the front.
