Brazil, Para, Parintins, Manaos; Peru, Iqiiitos; 

 British Guiana, Bartica; July to March, twenty-six 

 specimens. Very similar to zomias, but smaller and darker, 

 and in that species the costa is not broadly suffused dark 

 brown, and the antennae of male have no basal notch ; 

 when the stigma,ta are perceptible, the plical is before 

 first discal, instead of beyond it.

 second joint rather dark fuscous, pale-speckled, above \idth long
