spot; from apical sixth of costa an irregular, sordid-white line, parallel 

 to termen, extends to tornus; between this light line and termen, in 

 dorsal half, some light-brown shading; cilia gray; underside of costa 

 with a pronounced white spot. Hindwing light fuscous; cilia con- 

 colorous but with a grayish cast and with a dark subbasal line. Legs

Figure 40. — Juania loxia, new species: ventral view of female genitalia. 



Female genitalia (slide 10662): Area posterior to ostium mem- 

 branous; ventral lip of ostium narrowly triangular and weakly sclero- 

 tized. Anterior apophyses absent. Ductus bursae membranous. 

 Inception of ductus seminalis in posterior third of ductus bursae. 



Type: Masatierra: Picacho Central, 600 m. (Feb. 4, 1952). 



Described from the unique type female. The coloring of this species 

 is striking because the dark, contrasting ground color is set oJff by the 

 light basal area and subterminal line forming, roughly, a conspicuous 

 triangle. In genitalia loxia is nearest paraloxia as indicated by the 

 ventral lip of the ostium and the absence of the anterior apophyses.
