and turning on inner surface to middle of second segment. Head 

 cream white with a median, black stripe expanded on vertex. Thorax 

 black with some cream-white spots posteriorly and laterally; patagia 

 cream white, black at middle; tegula black, along external margin 

 and on apex cream white. Abdomen orange. Forewmg deep reddish 

 orange, in subcostal area and external third of wing cream white; 

 blue-black markings: nine costal streaks; two external streaks con- 

 fluent with themselves and a long, apical streak, forming a trifurcate 

 spot; a large, bifurcate spot on termen, confluent with a rotundate, 

 tornal spot; a separate, rotundate spot at border of orange and cream- 

 white areas between tornal spot and seventh costal streak (counting 

 from wing base); cUia concolorous with marginal markings, blue 

 black in front of spots touching termen, and cream white in inter- 

 spaces. Length of forewing 14 mm. Hindwing deep reddish orange 

 with violet-black marginal spots: a large spot at wing apex, confluent 

 with a smaller terminal spot beneath; two smaller, separate spots at 

 tornus; cUia cream white at apex, between apical and terminal spots, 

 and between terminal and tornal spots; in front of spots cilia con- 

 colorous with them, in remaining portions orange. 

 Male. — ^Unknown. 



Female genitalia. — Sinus vaginalis rotundate-infundibidar with 

 lamella antevaginalis laterally dilated, at middle narrowed for a short 

 distance. Antrum widely tubidar, slightly narrowed caudally, and 

 mth cephalic margin scalloped; two narrow, lateral colliculi; cervical 

 portion of corpus bursae striated, with a dense sclerotization near lin- 

 ear cestum, latter slightly protruding this sclerotized area; corpus 

 bursae moderately broad; signum with an arcuate, transverse carina, a 

 weakly sclerotized area caudally, and a serrate, triangular area 

 cephalically. 



Type. — Holotype, 9 (genitalia slide 8679), Las Yungas, La Paz, 

 Bolivia, 1000 m., Oct. 29, 1908 (Seebold; 16476); BAL The exact 

 date and the altitude were established on the basis of information by 

 H. Rebel, found in the catalogue of the Walsingham Collection. 



Remarks. — Very similar in the markings of the ^^'ings to ignijlora 

 Meyrick. Differs from this slightly variable species in having some 

 scattered, whitish scales on the scapus of the antenna, the inner surface 

 of the second segment of the labial palpus cream white only to its 

 middle, the patagia interrupted at the middle by black, the terminal 

 and the tornal spots of the forewing connate, the latter spot rotundate, 

 the apical spot of the hindwing smaller, and the genitalia distinct in 

 their details. The genitalic differences consist mainly of the sinus 

 vaginalis being less wide and more rotundate, the narrow middle por- 

 tion of the lamella antevaginalis much shorter, the antrum somewhat 

 longer and slightly narrowed caudally, its cephalic margin being dis-
