Holotype: U.S. National Museum No. 69734. 
Type-locality: Bolivia, Cochabamba, Incachaca. Tropical cloud 
area, 2100 m. 
Distribution: Bolivia and Peru. 
Described from the female holotype (27.VIII. to 5.1X%.56, L. 
Pefia), and one 9 paratype, Peru, Cusco, Machu Picchu, 2700 m. 
(6.11.59, J. F. G. Clarke). 
This taxon is nearest anazia and is discussed under that species. 
It is with great pleasure that I dedicate this species to its collector, 
Mr. Luis Pefia, who has contributed much material toward a better 
knowledge of the Neotropical microlepidopterous fauna.
