6 ?. Antenna of ? without prolonged basal eiliae to the segments. External 

 spur of midtibia shorter than interual. Abdomen with long pale hair-scales as in 

 ceratotn/oir/cn. Forewiug with seven lines converging towards a])ex, besides distinct 

 traces of two more antemediau lines jjroximally near hinder margin ; discal lines 

 1 to 4 curved behind, 4 almost following the curve of the hinder margin, 5 from 

 apex, distinct to R', then vestigial and represented by more or less dispersed 

 stales, which form a patch along hinder margin, lines 6 and 7 parallel with 5 and 

 with outer margin. The jiale wood-brown hindwiiig has two discal lines, the 

 proximal one broad, the other tliin, more or less joined to the first, the two 

 forming a central band, which is followed by a third line indicated by vein-dots ; 

 a distinct submarginal liand is separated i'rom the margin by a greyish wood-brown 

 marginal band, the lilack band touching the edge of the wing only at SO- and 8M-. 



cJ. Tenth abdominal segment of the usual form ; the tergite truncate-sinuate. 

 Process of harpe rather short, pointed, slightly curved. Penis-sheath with a 

 rather long dentate jirocess, which is produced distally towards the right side 

 into auother, short, dentate lobe. 



Early stages not known. 



Ill a ? from Guatemala in the British Museum the two antemediau lines of the 

 forewing are longer and stand close to the discal ones ; the discal lines 1 to 4 

 are straight behind, not curved ; the patch of black scales at internal margin, 

 near angle, is less distinct. The black discal band of the hindwing is broader 

 and the ground-colour of the wing more jiinkish. 



JJu/j. Central America: Mexico to Guatemala and Honduras (extending 

 doubtless farther south).
