surface do not show. The series of interspacial dashes or dustings within the 
hind margin are fairly prominent. The subcostal white dots are repeated. The 
hind margin has a dark thread and the fringe shows light hairs in interspaces. 
Under side of hind wing dead dark brown. The line of interspacial light 
dashes of upper surface, running from upper angle downward are repeated and 
more clearly defined. 
This species is closely allied to X. tatius Edw., N. juvenalis Fabr. and that 
group, and a detailed and identifiable descrijnion is almost impossible. One 
specimen w’as found unnamed in the Godman collection ; also one specimen un- 
named in the British Museum, taken in Malto Grosso. Brazil. 
Taken in December, 1900.
