 The hind wings are pale greenish at base and below costa; along the 

 external margin from costal angle to medio-posteinor nervule, is a broad 

 terminal pink band, within which a broad black fascia, interrupted by 

 greenish scales on the nervules, and terminating below medio-posterior 

 nervule in two narrow lines, outside of which latter a brownish square 

 spot on terminal space above anal angle. Internal margin largely pink ; 

 two black spots lielow the disc j a few white scales within the terminal 

 black lines above anal angle.

It is very probable that Plbilampdux Hornbeckiana, Harris, Cat. N. 

 A. Sph. p. 19, foot-note, refers to the present species. Until, however, 

 specimens are received from St. Thomas, W. I., this fact cannot be 

 considered certain since the description does not satisfactorily agree 

 with the specimens from Cuba. These undoubtedly belong to the spe- 

 cies erroneously figured by Cramer, as above cited, as the female of F. 

 vltU. This has not been observed by Mr. Walker and Dr. Clemens ; 

 the latter, in copying the synonymy, has apparently changed the species 

 as above quoted. 



Dark olive green j more robust than P. vitis. The bands on anterior 

 wings are mixed with white scales anteriorly ; the V-shaped space on 

 internal margin large and not enclosed on the margin. Posterior wings 

 green ; a large rose-colort'I space on anal angle and along internal mar-
