tion scobinate; cestum located in cervix portion and consisting of a 

 very short, rotundate projection on a bilobate, sclerotized base; cervix 

 bursae rather broad. Sclerotization around otsiiim oviductus well 

 developed. 



Type: Holotype, female (genitalia on slide, 18-Obr,, 1962), Concep- 

 ci6n, Chile, October 1902 (E. C. Reed), USNM (type no. 66833). 



Remarks: Somewhat similar to Proeulia chrysopteris (Butler), but 

 differing from it in some details of the markings of the forewing, 

 especially in the presence of a ferruginous blotch in the basal portion 

 of the wing, a whitish line basad from the brownish outline of the dor- 

 sal triangular spot, and in having the hindwing unicolorous. The 

 genitalic differences of P. apospasta consist of a flat sinus vaginalis, 

 absence of the antrum, and especially of a bilobate base of the cestum, 

 known only in this Proeulia species. The name of the species is 

 derived from the Greek aTrosTrasroj, meaning "separated."
