c??. raljjus short, obtuse. Wings in colour and shape like those of i/uarae, 

 but less elongate, hindwing especially less acuminate, with the outer margin convex 

 and the anal angle not projecting. Spines of foretibia comparatively stouter than 

 in gauruc aud Juanita (the tigure given of the foretibia by Smith, /.c, is not correct, 

 the row of spines not being widely interrupted, and further, the apical process not 

 being a spine as represented, but a prolongation of the tibia). Hindwing paler 

 yellow than in Jiiani fa, almost agreeing in colour with that of prosevpina. 



S. Tenth segment (PI. XLV. f. 4) essentially the same as in the other 

 species ; sternite much shorter and broader than the tergite, obtusely boat-shaped. 

 Harpe (PI. IL. f. lU) without free process, but notched just before end. Penis- 

 sheath as mjiavo/asciata.
