tip of terminal joint rosy-whitish. Antennal ciliations 1. Thorax 

 light lilac-piirple. Abdomen light ochreous-grey. Eorewings 

 elongate, moderate, posteriorly considerably dilated, costa anteriorly 

 nearly straight, posteriorly moderately arched, apex obtnse, terraeii 

 slightly sinuate, somewhat oblique ; glossy lilac-purple, apical area 

 beyond an uudehned line from | of costa to tornus purplish-brown, 

 costa suffused with darker brown throughout; a grey-whitish 

 quadrangular spot in disc before middle, a small oval black S])ot 

 centred with brown-whitish and ringed with grey-whitish on fold 

 somewhat beyond this, and a rather large quadrangular black spot 

 edged with grey-whitish and including a fine whitish line parallel 

 to its ])osterior edge in disc beyond middle ; a hardly perceptible 

 faintly darker sinuate line from A of costa to tornus : cilia pale 

 grey, round apex and most of termen dark grey on basal half. 

 Hindwings bright deep rose; cilia whitish, round apex tinged with 

 greyish ; subcostal hairpencil whitish. Forewings beneath wvVh 

 elongate discal patch of light brassy -ochreous modified scale?., ex- 

 tending over upper part of cell and above its margin from, 'before 

 middle to end, occupying about ^ of width of wing. ) 



French Guiana, K. Maroni ; one specimen. Extre'.nely lilfe |n_ 

 Eusf^kj^ of which I have three J specimens (the ty^^e described is a 

 $ , though this is not mentioned), but disting,uished by different 

 form of forewings, which in io have the app-x pointed and termen 

 considerably sinuate, the absence of reddis^'n colour on face, and the 

 deeper and brighter rose colour of hir^dwings. In io the discal 

 patch of modified scales is narrower, only occupying ^ of width of 

 wing, and in one specimen is infuscated, and along lower margin 

 of cell on uudersurface is an area clothed with ros3--whitish hairs, 

 which in callimnestra are less dove^^oped. The discal spots differ in 

 detail, the plical spot in to bt^ing larger and oblong, without 

 whitish ring, the posterior spot more irregular and indefinite, and 

 in my specimens I do not obsf-rve the anterior spot at all, though 

 Busck mentions " a small ag'-^regatc."

 "4 short-stalked, 5 approximated, 6 and 7 connate. 



Type lac tis Busck, described as a Sieiioma. A development of 

 Agriophara, from"'which at presei't it appears sufficiently distinct, 

 having a peculiar facies as well as th e neural difference, the latter 

 being unnoticed bj'^ Busck^
