Of five e.xampies, apparently of this species, two are id from I'ai/.a, Ecuador, 

 dated January 1900, three are ? ? from Rosario, St. Inez, E. Ecuador, dated April 

 and November 189!(. These two Sd are as large as the ? ?, and differ as follows : 

 the oblii|ue yellow band in the forewing of the ? ? is straight with a slight 

 protuberance outwardly above its lower end ; in the c? S this baud is sinuous 

 and without the protuberance. In the hindwiug the black marginal border is 

 twice as wide as in the SS, and the j'ellow area in consecjuence twice as narrow ; 

 its inner edge is irregularly jagged in the cJc?, and evenly undulated in the ? ¥. 

 The antennae of the c? c? are pectinated. In his description of j'ornox, which 

 he referred to Lycea, the c? t? of which genus should have simple antennae, Druce 

 says that the ? ? are larger than the 3S (4.5 and 39 mm.), but that except 

 in point of size they are similar. If this be correct, the two S S from Baiza must 

 be at least an aberration, and may be a distinct species. At present they may 

 be left as ab. latimargo.
