380 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.84 



Alar expanse, 21-26 mm. 



Genitalia with area behind the genital opening markedly sclerotized 

 and pigmented, smooth just behind opening and rugose and finely 

 granulate beyond (in the direction of ovipositor). Lower margin of 

 genital opening concave with lateral ends somewhat straightened ; the 

 ductus at genital opening narrowly sclerotized. Ductus seminalis 

 from ductus bursae and forming a loop with it just before genital 

 opening. 



Type and paratypes.—V.S.^M. no, 5180G. Paratype also in 

 British Museum. 



Type locality. — Castro, Parana, Brazil. 



Remarks. — Described from seven females, the paratypes all from 

 the type locality. 



The species is chiefly distinguished by the peculiar shape and junc- 

 ture of the ductus bursae and ductus seminalis. This may be the 

 female of laheosa.

 Plate 29, Figuke 22 



Wings white. Fore wing with veins 11 and 12 anastomosing; 4 

 and 5 connate or shortly stalked. Hind wing with 4 and 5 connate 

 or shortly stalked. Anal tuft yellow. 



Alar expanse, 21-25 mm. 



Genitalia with a sinjooth, sclerotized, roundly oval plate just behind 

 genital opening. Lower margin of genital opening slightly angulate. 

 Just within lip of genital opening a pair of short, dark, hooklike 

 processes. Ductus weakly sclerotized toward genital opening. 



Type and paratype. — U.S.N.M. no. 51897. Paratype also in British 

 Museum. 



Type locality. — Cabima, Panama (Busck, May). 



Remark's. — Described from three females from the type locality. 



From the fore-wing venation, size, and distribution I am inclined 

 to believe that this is the female of liberta.

 approximate or connate. Anal tuft yellow. 



Alar expanse, 39-48 mm. 



Genitalia Avith area to the sides and behind the genital opening 

 slightly rugose and weakly sclerotized. Lower margin of genital 

 opening angulate. the angle bluntly pointed. Within the genital 

 opening a pair of dark, small, oblong, sclerotized disks.
