liiiulmargin ; meiliaii shade, its inner edge lannlate and siiinate, broader on inner 

 margin, from middle of this margin to fonr-fifths of costa ; outer line, half-way 

 between median and hindmargin, dentate Innulateand slightly dark-dotted on veins ; 

 snbmarginal line pale, obscure, between two equally obscure shades ; marginal spots 

 small, black ; rell-spot grey-brown ; fringe concolorous : there are traces of a 

 curved inner line, on costa and above inner margin, probably well-marked when 

 fresh. 



Hindwings : similar, without l)asal line; median shade thick, preceding the 

 cell-dot ; the other lines as in fore wings. 



Underside duller, but the cell-spots lilack and distinct. Face and palpi black- 

 lirown, whitish below ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen like wingB. 



E.xpanse of wings : 26 mm. 



One ? from Carobas, Pern, 2.'500 ft. December 1899 (Simons).

One ? from Suapure, Venezuela, July 1899 (Klages). 



The species has a slight superficial resemblance to dull examples of species of

Foreu'htqs : bone-colour, sparsely dusted with fine brown scales; tlie costa and 

 lines brown ; the three lines at equal distances from each other, the first and second 

 simply sinuous and parallel, from one-third and tlireo-fifths of costa ros))ectivcly ; 

 the third nearer hindmargin than usual, from fully four-fifths of costa to shortly 

 before anal angle, bent on vein 6 and again below vein 4, obscurely dentate inward ; 

 a reddish brown triangular cloud on hindmargin between veins 4 and 6, and a 

 slighter one towards anal angle, with scattered brown scale-patches in the lower 

 half of marginal space ; marginal line thick, interrupted by veins, i]ur]ile-brown ; 

 fringe brown like the lines, with indistinct darker chequerings ; cell-spot brown, 

 distinct. 



Ilinfhvings : with only two lines, one autemedian, curved, the other post-
