This single si>ecinicn has l)ecn in the collection for a long time, 

 waiting in vain for a mate ; we have seen nothing in any collection 

 that bears much resemblance to the species; the squammation of the 

 thorax appears to be entirely composed of fine hair, the frontal promin- 

 ence is well developed.

9 . Thorax deep purplish, sprinkled w-ith white scales, especially noticeable 

 on the nietathoracic tuft; primaries even purplish-red with clearly defined 

 maculation ; basal line black, not prominent ; t. a. line black, outwardly oblique, 

 consisting of three outcurves, the lower two being the most prominent ; sub-

 a pale dot and then by a black one ; costal area beyond t. p. line narrowly 

 shaded with grayish with four yellowish points; terminal area of wing dark-

A small, smoothly marked species, apparently not very closely 

 related to any described Eii.voa. perhaps best placed near capota, .Sm.
