NEOTROPICAL MICROLEPIDOPTERA, I AND II—CLARKE 881 
Unfortunately, we know only the female of trochiloides and the male 
of felisae, so no comparison of the genitalia can be made. 
This species is named for Mrs. Felisa Carriker, wife of Melbourne 
A. Carriker, in appreciation of the friendly help received while on 
my visit to their home. It was they who introduced me to the 
fascinating collecting area of Lago San Rafael.
