It may be distinguished frou) all the other species by the pale lines, and 

 by the two twin dots in the middle of the outer margin ot" the fore wings, 

 while the wings are unusually free trom scales. P^rom nin/.s, /, it differs 

 in the pale lines, clear hind wings, and is less ochreous.*

2 ^. — This species tliS'ers structurally in souic important characters IVoiii the more northern species 

 known to uie.- The wings are a little shorter, and the apex much less falcate than usual; the first sub- 

 costal interspace is much shorter and smaller than in D. varus and Kcxijiiilinca, and all the venules sent 

 ott" toward the outer edge of the wing are shorter than usual. Tho hind tibi.T; are greatly swollen, 

 nearly twice as nmch so as iu D. sesqitilinea, and the spurs are mnch .shorter. Antenna- broadly 

 pectinated, fully as much as usual. Body and wings pale yellow-ochreous, and of the same shade as 

 above and beneath, including tlie legs. Fore wings with traces of a narrow, basal, curved, ferruginous 

 line. An outer, oblique, pale-ferruginous line straight in its course (not curved as usual), .just below the 

 apex. On the costa, just iu front of the angle, is a geminate black spot, and another spot on the apex. 

 Anotlier larger spot between the first and second meilian venules, and a large round black patch on the 

 inner angle. Beyond the outer line, the wing is fawn-brown, and also the hind wings; the hitter are 

 crossed by a single, faint, narrow, ferruginous, straight line. Both w ings li.-ive scattered black speckles. 

 Beneath as above, except that there are no lines, h\it tho brownish nnrgins of both wings are as well 

 marked as above. Minute discal dots above and below on both pairs of wings. I'ore tibi.T a little 

 dusky. 



Length of body, 0.45; of fore win^vs, 0.."0 ; expanse of wings, 1.00 inches. Panama (Kilwards). 



It may bo recognized, besides its singuhir structural features, by the edge of both wings being 

 broadly shaded with pale fawn-brown. 



Tliis descriiiticui of a Panama species of llnjwiiviliii is appended, as tlie genus and possibly this 

 spi-cits nia,\' ,\et occur in .Southern California.
