c??. Basal ciliae of antemial segments of ? very feebly prolonged. External 

 spui* of midtibia longer than internal. Spines of abdominal tergites uniseriate- 

 The green colour of the thorax and forewing often fading to rnsset or ferruginous. 

 Abdomen with a thin mesial line, interrupted at the bases of the segments by 

 metallic yellow dots, another line laterally ; underside of thorax and abdomen more 

 or less maize-yellow, with metallic yellow scales ; a few such scales also dorso- 



laterally. Forewing : a snbbasal patch or baud, 4 or 5 antemedian lines ; first 



discal line straight, curved costad anteriorly, second line mostly absent, third and 

 fourth evenly dentate ; apical line curved, even, ending in a patch at E', followed 

 by a dentate line ; the basal and disto-marginal interspaces more or less shaded 

 with silvery grey. The ochre-yellow band of the hindwing distingnislies phtfo from 

 all the other American Xijlophai/es. 



S ■ Friction-scales of clasper few in number, large, truncate, midrib prominent. 

 Tentli tergite very narrow, truncate-sinuate ; sternite with parallel sides, rounded 

 at end, upperside concave, transversely ribbed, middle line somewhat raised. 

 Process of harpe curved as in pistacina, but somewhat stouter, not narrowed to 

 end, with some teeth before tip. Penis-sheath i)eculiar : a right dentate lobe, and 

 a left ridge bearing the teeth at the distal edge (PI. LVII. f. W. 4), this dentition 

 recalling the armature of aihiVui. 



Larva described by Gnndlacli, I.e. ; a dark aiid a pale form, both with an 

 ocellus on the fourth segment. — Food-plant : Kri/throxi/Ion. 



Hab. Neotropical Region : Bahamas, Florida, southward over the Antilles and 

 the Continent to Southern Brazil.
