 darkest below the cell ; the inner line black, thick, oblique from costa. then fine, 

 forming three curves to inner margin ; the outer line fine, brown, straight from 

 costa to vein 4, then slightly curved inward to below vein 2, then curved out- 

 wardly to submedian and forming a slighter curve below that vein ; a reddish

 grey. Secondaries with a whitish dentate transverse line and a black and white 

 discal spot. Expanse 43 mm. 



Hah. — Jalapa, Mexico. Margins nearly straight. 



Azelina jainaicensis. — Head and thorax black ; abdomen brown. Pri- 

 maries: base grey, with black strise, and limited by the black inner line, which 

 is oblique from costa to median vein, starting from this vein again at the same 

 distance from base as the origin of the line on costa it is perpendicular to subme- 

 dian, and then forms a deep outward curve to inner margin ; the line is heavily 

 shaded outwardly with black; the median space is dark brownish grey below the 

 median vein, light reddish brown above it; a black transverse streak or geminate 

 spot in cell ; the outer line in light, heavily shaded inwardly with black, slightly 

 sinuous, bulging somewhat fcelow vein 2, and is also followed by some black
