?. All we know of this insect, besides the descriptions given by Moore and 

 Hamjjson, is a pencil sketch in Dr. Moore's possession. We give a figure taken 

 from this sketch in order to enable the reader to identify the species. As no 

 structural characters are given in the descriptions we do not know with certainty 

 where to put decoratus. It looks somewhat like Fkyllosjihingia dissimiUs, excepting 

 the hindwing, and reminds one also of J//w".v f iliac.
