 and a dark mark on discocellnlar.

 abdomen cinereous ; tips of the patagia paler grey. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm. 



One ? from Bogotd, Colombia. 



The type specimen is not in perfect condition ; superficially the insect con- 

 siderably resembles a Gi'apkidipus.

 two-thirds of wing, Ijdng between the median and submedian veins, both its ends

 beyond the cell a square red spot ; fringe black.

 the hindwings grey-brown, with the veins black. Head, thorax, and abdomen

Genus STENELE Wlk. II. p. 356. 



I find that, the genus Dichostrepsia, described by me in Nov. ZooL. II. p. 121, 

 must sink to Stenele. The distortion of the median and submedian veins is often 

 scarcely perceptible, though the bladdery space below the median is always 

 present. The neuration of Stoieli',, as given by me in Nov. Zool. I. p. 412, and made 

 without denuding the insect, requires correction. In the forewings, veins 7, 8 are 

 stalked ; 9 and 10 are free from the cell ; 10 anastomoses with 11 ; anastomoses 

 with 10 and 11, and subsequently with 8 (or 9 and lo stalked anastomose conjointly 

 with II). 



The insect which I made the type of Dichostrepsia, viz. tricolorata, is mani- 

 festly the same as Nelo solimara Th. Mg., Le Naturaliste, 1892, p. 262, which will 

 stand as Stenele solimara Th. Mg. ; and to this genus also must be referred, judging 

 from the description, Melanchroia {?) uiirantiaria Th. Mg., Ann. S.E. Fr. Is95, 

 Bull. p. cclxxv.
