20 CLABE I\\ l\ I Y-l IVE NEW Sl'HINGIDAE [vd.^in' 



tegulae tipped with pink. No white side tufts as is //. vdox Fabr. Fourth, 

 fifth :inil sixth segments of abdominal tergitee with small pink lateral dots. 

 I i and abdomen beneath light gray. 



Fore wing above: tJnif ormly gray . Small distinct black stigma. A wavy 

 S-ehaped post median line, accentuated with vein dots, extends from a point 

 On BC5, 7.5 nun. distant from the distal margin, to a point on 8M2 mid- 

 way 1 id ween t lie I tase and t he hinder alible. Three faint lines run posteriorly 

 of the postmedian one, and roughly parallel to it, from SC5 to the inner 

 margin, I >ut diverging from it as they approach the inner margin. A heavy 

 dark browo line extends from wing apex to 112, growing lighter in color as 

 it approaches thai point. A fifth and a sixth faint line, the fifth accentu- 

 ated by vein dots, extend from the two sides of the heavy apical line from 

 R2 to M2, where they merge into a dark brown triangular area extending 

 from the inner angle 8 mm. toward the base. A seventh faint submarginal 

 line, accentuated by vein dots, extends from the wing tip to SM2. 



Hind wing above: Light brown. A heavy dark brown submarginal line, 

 lunulate between the veins, extends from anal angle to the inner angle, 

 growing fainter costally. Basad of this line is a diffuse pink band, 2 mm. 

 in width. The area between the submarginal line and the distal margin is 

 lighter brown in tone than the rest of the wing. The wing as a whole is 

 very similar to that of //. velox ab. rosea Roth. 



Fore, wing beneath: Basal half dark brown, as is the irregular distal 

 marginal border. This latter, starting at the wing tip, widens irregularly 

 to R2, where it attains a width of 6 mm; thence it narrows gradually to 

 the inner margin, where it is 2.5 mm. in width. Basad of the distal marginal 

 border the wing is pink, irrorated with dark transverse dots, sharply con- 

 trasting with the border. This pink area fades away basally at about the 

 median portion of the wing. 



Hind wing beneath: Dull pink irrorated with dark transverse dots 

 post medially. A dark brown distal marginal border is 2.5 mm. in width at 

 the inner angle, and narrows irregularly to the anal angle, where it dis- 

 appears.
