tillcil u|i with liliU'l< sca.liiii;- : this •,\rr:i cdiitnisls in iiiiuiy specimens strcinu'ly with 

 tlie [tiilur, russet, basal anil distal areas. Tlif discal and jiitstdiscal lines are, near 

 11^, less curved than in petunide, but more so than in se.xfd. The white dots of tlie 

 frin'^'e oncniiich sometimes on the wing, being slightly enlarged basad ; they are 

 oflrn liarely indicated and sometimes quite absent. Antenna obviously slenderer 

 than in NCvta, slightly thinner than in petKnine. First segment of foretarsus, as 

 in petuniae, with four long and several small spines exteriorly. So pulvillus. 



S- Tentli abdominal tergite rather broad, llatteneJ above before tiie convex 

 end, which is hooked and pointed, and here somewhat rounded-dilated laterally ; 

 sternite rounded at end, similar in shape to that of petuniae, but the tnrned- 

 uj) portion of the lateral margin more proximal, the narrowed apex therefore 

 longer. Clasper rather broadly sole-shaped, ventral margin strongly oblique 

 in distal half; harpe (PI. XXXIX. f. 3. 4): ventral process rather obviously 

 hooked, the tip curving basad ; dentate process large, extending to near, or even a 

 little beyond, dorsal edge of clasper, sickle-shaped, twisted at the end, this narrowed 

 end-part not constant in size and dentition. Tooth of penis-sheath triangular, 

 horizontal, rather shorter than in pettiniae. 



? . Eighth abdominal tergite not sinuate, mesially not obviously impressed ; 

 sides more strongly chitinised than disc. Vaginal armature similar to that of 

 occulta, but the antevaginal lobe shorter. 



Larva : with six side-bands according to Peter's figure {Ic.) ; correct ? this 

 species ? 



Pupa : tongue-case recurved, its end resting against the undersiile of the sheath 

 near the base (Peters, I.e.). 



Boisduval's description of the larva and pupa, I.e., does not agree with Peter's 

 figures. 



Hub. Costa Rica to Buenos Ay res. 



Two subspecies : 



a. F. lucctuts inibila subsp. nov. 



c? ? . Forewing more elongate than in the following subspecies, basal and 

 discal areas much less russet, the black postdiscal line less curved ; brown biuids 

 of the underside of the hindwing feebler marked. 



(J. End of tenth abdominal tergite a little less convex and less hooked. 

 Clasper shorter, ventro-distally more oblique ; harpe much nearer the end of 

 the clasper (PI. XXXIX. f. 3), the dentate lobe more strongly rounded, and apically 

 narrower. 



$. Vaginal armature : antevaginal lobe short (not sinuate), the oblique proxima] 

 ridges strongly turned frontad, almost in a i>lane with the lobe (PI. XX. f 5). 



Larva and pupa not known. 



Length of forewing : <?, 40 mm. ; ?, 43 to 44 mm. 



Ilab. Costa Rica, 1 c?, 2 ? ?. We have some doubts aliout the correctness 

 of the locality. 



The difference in the length of the clasper and in the position of the harpe 

 between this and the following form is very remarkable ; as we have only one 

 individual of the c? sex, we do not know whether the ditference is constant.
