the tip of tarsi and the nails pieeous. Wings of medium 

 length, hardly acute, hyaline, with the costa pieeous, 

 but yellowish on the outer border, and set with minute 

 black spines ; veins coarse, pieeous, but paler back of the 

 nodus to base, basal areole slightly discolored, much 

 longer than wide, the areoles chiefly large and long, 

 cross-veins of the apical series brown on milky spots, the 

 base of first apical areole and ail the veins of this series 

 on the middle and tip also brown, the apex of the seventh 

 apical areole is more broadly marked on the outer end 

 so as to form the figure of a hook ; first apical one is 

 long, narrow, acute at both ends and nearly twice as long 

 as the second, both the first and second cross-veins 

 oblique, sub-equal and a little bent; flaps of both wings 

 more or less smoky, veins of wings pale brown, clearer 

 yellow at base and near the flaps. Abdomen moderately 

 stout, sub-conical, chestnut brown above, more or less 

 banded with black, the surface silvery pubescent and 

 powdered with white, the genital segment short, blunt, 

 dark pieeous above, pale beneath, and the last ventral 

 segment moderately short, narrowed towards the tip, 

 sub-truncated, with the outer angles broadly rounded. 



Length to tip of venter 28 millims ; width of pronotum 

 12 millims; expanse of wing-covers 87-89 millims 



Two males of this beautiful species were collected on 

 the south coast of Jamaica, east of Kingston, by my 

 friend, Mr. Ross Harrison. The female remains 

 unknown. This remarkable form contributes in min- 

 iature a type of marking which has thus far been 

 recognized only in the tropics of South America, and 

 heretofore represented by the great Lyerman of Guiana, 

 the Fidicina mannifera of Fab.
