AitJiilla Bujfunii, sp. nov. — Habitat: Suajnire, X'enezuela. Ex- 

 panse, 1.25 inches. . 



Head and palpi above dark brown, with a {i:^\s gray hairs ; below 

 nearly white. Thorax and abdomen the same above as head ; below 

 gray. Antennae nearly black, with indistinct white annulations at base of 

 each joint. Club, above black, beneath grayish. Legs light brown, with 

 slight white annulations at joints. 



Upper side of fore wing dark brown, heavily dusted with grayish at 

 basal and inner marginal areas. The apical area shows none of this 

 dusting except as slight suffusion from basal side. K series of very 

 prominent semi-transparent white spots extends from centre of costa across 

 the end of discoidal space towards lower angle. The first two of these 

 are simply subcostal spots. The next lower is large, covering the entire 

 end of discoidal space. Below this is another large spot, and between 

 these, nearer the hind margin in first submedian interspace, is another 

 but smaller si)ot. Near the apex are two white subcostal dots. The 

 basal portion of discoidal space has a dark band extending downwards to 

 the centre of inner margin. A similar dark band extends from below the 

 apical subcostal spots to the inner margin just outside the large white 

 si)ots. These are often indistinct, but show their permanent character in 

 their extension through the hind wing. The marginal fringe is generous, 

 but of the ground colour. 



Upper side of hind wing is same in colour as fore w^ing, but the 



grayish hairs and scales quite cover the entire surface. A dark band 



runs from centre of costa across the wing to inner margin, just above the 



anal angle, following contour of the hind margin. Nearer the base, and 



barely crossing the centre of discoidal space, is a similar band. These 



two bands, as above noted, are continuations of the dark markings or 

 bands of fore wing. 



Under side of fore wing dark brown. The large white spots are 

 more contiguous, more as a band. The two subcostal dots are repeated. 

 The lower angle area is lighter than ground colour, a branch of it 

 extending upwards through the a])ical area to the costa. 



These markings are not prominent, and are softened by suffusion. 



Under side of hind wing dark brown, the dark bands of upper 

 surface being repeated, but showing more suffusion. Inner marginal area 

 lighter than ground colour.
