88 LORD WALSIXGHAM OX [Jail. 10, 



Head and thorax smooth. 



Fore wings narrow, elongate, apex not depressed, termen 

 oblique and evenly rounded, not sinuate beneath apes, tornus 

 not apparent. Neuration: 11 A r eins(2 and 3 coincident); 7 and 8 

 stalked out of 6, 7 to costa slightly before apex : 4 approximated 

 to 2 + 3 ; 1 furcate at base. 



Hind wings as broad as the fore wings ; costa sinuate from 

 before middle, clothed almost from the base with cilia of even 

 length ; strongly and angularly excavate beneath the produced 

 apex, tornus rounded, dorsum straight, abdominal angle developed. 

 Neuration : 8 veins ; 3 and 4 connate or stalked, 5 approximated 

 to 6, 6 and 7 somewhat approximated. 



Legs: bind tibiae with long bairs above and shorter ones beneatb. 



Allied to Mesophleps, Hb., but differing in neuration and in the 

 structure of the palpi. I have been unable to refer this form to 

 any of the genera proposed by Chambers.

Antennae whitish ochreous, faintly annulated. Palpi whitish 

 ocbreous, the second joint reddish brown externally except the 

 outer end of the fringe on its upper side. Head and thorax whitish

 way along the costa (with the exception of a narrow fawn-brown 

 line along the extreme margin from the base), blending into pale 

 fawn-ochreous over the remaining wing-surface ; an umber-brown 

 shade extending from before the middle of the costa to the apex ; 

 three faint fawn-grey spots are visible, the first on the middle of 

 the fold, the third at the end of the cell, and the second equi- 

 distant between them on the cell ; cilia fawn-ochreous. Exp. al. 

 10-18 mm. Hind wings and cilia grey. Abdomen pale fawn-

Hah. West Indies — St. Croix, 27 IV.-5 V. (Gudmann, Hede- 

 mann) ; St. Thomas, 11-19 III. (Gudmann, Hedemann) ; Grexada 

 (windward side, Balthazar, 250 ft., 15-27 IV. ; leeward side, Mount 

 Gay Estate, 300 ft., 25-30 VIIL— H. H. Smith). 



The specimens from St. Thomas and St. Croix are uniformly 

 smaller (10-13 mm.) than those from Grenada (14-18 mm.) ; but 

 I consider them to be the same species.
