Male genitalia as characterized in the key and as illustrated by figure 

 95, a-c. 



Female. — ^Habitus similar to that of male, dark fuscous areas on fore 

 wings above more extensive and with ochraceous along costal margin 

 extending inward to cell. "With ochraceous patches just beyond cell 

 and directly below cell, this ochraceous sometimes slightly pinkish. 



Length of forewing 10-13 mm. 



Female genitalia as characterized in the key and as illustrated by 

 figure 95, e. 



Type locality. — "Mutijas, Cuba." I find no trace of any such locality 

 and believe it is a mistake for Matanzas. 



Additional type data. — Holotype of nephelistis is a male ( $ 

 genitalia preparation, British Museum No. 1947-261) . 



Location of type. — In British Museum of Natural History. 



Distribution. — Qxtrk: Province of Matanzas^ Matanzas (May); 

 Province of Oriente., Santiago de Cuba (February, March, June, 

 July). 



Twenty-one specimens (all available) dissected and studied. 



Remarks. — The genitalia of the type of nephelistis (genitalia prep- 

 aration, British Museum No. 1947-261) were compared and found to 

 agree with the genitalia of a male (genitalia preparation, British Mu- 

 seum No. 1949-77) from Santiago, Cuba, by D. S. Fletcher, of the 

 Department of Entomology, British Museum of Natural History. 

 This compared specimen was lent to me and is illustrated by figure 

 95, a^c.
