ocherous white shaded ochraceous buff laterally and posteriorly. 
Thorax olivaceous with slight brassy hue. Forewing ground color 
ocherous white; extreme costal edge ochraceous tawny to two-thirds, 
shading to olivaceous brown for a short distance toward cell, parallel 
to costa; at two-thirds the olivaceous brown coloring forms a triangle, 
the apex of which extends nearly to end of cell; from near base to 
tornus a broad gray shade with tiny, short, transverse strigulae on 
dorsal edge and toward tornus two transverse brassy bars; apical 
third russet, interrupted by an oblique bar of ground color suffused 
pale russet, and an apical area of same color; from dorsal edge near 
base, an olivaceous shade extending well into cell; cilia ochraceous 
buff mixed with some paler scales. 
Hindwing fuscous; cilia grayish fuscous. Foreleg ocherous white 
strongly overlaid fuscous outwardly; midleg ocherous white; tibia 
suffused tawny on outer side; tarsal segments fuscous on outer side; 
hindleg ocherous white with small, ill-defined fuscous spot on tibia, 
and tarsal segments with slight infuscation. Abdomen fuscous dorsally, 
ocherous white ventrally. 
Female genitalia slide JFGC no. 11637. Ostium moderately broad, 
ventral edge concave. Antrum broadly sclerotized for short distance. 
Inception of ductus seminalis from side of bursa copulatrix. Ductus 
bursae membranous. Accessory bursa from near junction of bursa 
copulatrix and ductus bursae. Bursa copulatrix clothed with fine 
spines. 
Holotype: U.S. National Museum No. 69733. 
Type-locality: Venezuela, Aragua, Rancho Grande, 1100 m. 
Distribution: Known only from the type-locality. 
Described from the holotype female (16-23.X.1966, S. S. and 
W. D. Duckworth). 
The three species penai, anaria, and frangula are closely similar 
and obviously closely related. Of these, peviai can at once be distin- 
guished from the other two by its very pale hindwing; and frangula 
can be distinguished from anazia by the extensive gray dorsal patch, 
absent in the latter species. 
It is strange that not a single male of any of the three species 
has appeared although the dates of collection cover much of the year. 
This suggests some peculiar behavioral pattern for the males, an 
interesting subject for investigation.
