 shortened, and thickened with a tuft of long hairs fro:n near base. 



Palpi very short : antennae of c? pectinated : hindtibiae of d with four 

 approximated spurs. 



Neuration : forewings, cell two-thirds of wing ; the fovea! bar in c? distinct : 

 first median nervule at one-half, second shortly before end, tliird from end: lower 

 radial very faint, fiom centre of discocellnlar ; upper radial from ujijier angle ; 

 11 anastomosing with costal ; 9 and 10 coincident, anastomosing with 11, 1) after- 

 wards anastomosing with 7 and 8. Hindwings with costal closely appro-ximated to 

 subcostal for half the cell ; first subcostal nervule from before end ; medians as in 

 forewings ; no radial.

 large, black : of the two radials the lower is not marked with black at all, and the 

 upper only slightly. 



Hvulwings : the same : the discocellnlar hardly marked : tiie tuft of luiir from 

 inner margin white. 



Underside the same, the space Ijetweeu veins :J and 4 of forewings filled in 

 with black. Face, thi>rax, and abdomen above black; the last white lielow : 

 patagia whitish.

One S from Bogota. 



lu the forewings the median vein is arched at base; thesubmedian is thickened 

 and distorted, and emits a second bar underneath and parallel to the usual upper 

 foveal bar, the wing-membrane between these two veins being swollen. There are 

 no transverse lines as in the other species of tlie genus.

Foreiciiigs : silky white, snbtransparent ; the veins black ; costa black from 

 base to middle; first line at one-third, oblique, marked by a grey cloud in middle of

 towards base ; discocellnlar marked with cloudy black ; outer line curved i)arallel to 

 hindmargin, from vein 7 to middle of inner margin ; fringe white. 



Ilinrhcinqs : similar, without basal line ; the discocellnlar not thickened. 



Underside similar, less thickly clothed with white scales ; costal area 

 blackish. Head, thorax, and abdomen white ; antennae blackish ; tuft of hind- 

 wings ochreous. •
