" Closely resembles Hestia in form, texture, and colouring of the 

 wings, and to which it has another resemblance in the absence of the 

 sexual spot on the posterior wings. Like some species of the third 

 section of Danais, and like the genus Sestia, it has the first sub- 

 costal veinlet anastomosing with the costal vein. Like most species 

 of Hestia, the genus Ldeopsis has the wings somevrhat diaphanous, 

 white ; the outer margin, veins, veinlets, two or more vitta? in the cell.
