Reiiiarhs. — Krauss (1911) recorded this species from Colombia. 

 This appears to be based upon a misidentified specimen of aequicer- 

 cata. This very same specimen may have indeed later become the 

 holotype of aequicercata, as the data and disposition records are 

 identical in both cases. The wing figured by him {I. c, fig. 2), how- 

 ever, appears to be that of a specimen of Pararhagadochir. 



C. u. urichi, like nohilis, has been adequately treated by Davis, who 

 had the opportunity to redescribe one of Saussure's cotypes. The 

 abdominal terminalia of the male are almost identical to those of the 

 Venezuelan subspecies intermedia Davis {vid. infra) ^ but urichi can 

 be separated by its lighter color, smaller size, usually unbranched 

 Cuia wing vein, the shape of the submentum (figs. 8 vs. 9), and its 

 insular distribution. Two female specimens at hand can be separated 

 from the mainland Clothoda females by the light, golden-brown color 

 and the visible dorsal head pattern.
