Fo>\'/ri/if/.i : dark smoky fuscons, slii;;htly I'ul'ous-tiuged, witli hardly any

Another ? from Popayan, Colombia (Lehmann), has the costal and inner margin 

 of forewings strongly tinged with deeji red, and the spot before anal angle large and 

 pale yellow, and expands 40 mm. 



Evidently closely related to Zeiizerodes finnatiiis Pagenst., Iris, V. p. 81,

 ZeAtzerodex is almo.st certainly identical with Mcskra Grote, wiiicli he does not 

 quote at all.

Allied to Gnthyrdit, with which it agrees in the neuration of the forewings; the
