around reniform and orbicular spots, and subterminal area distad of 
postmedial line dull olive green; anterior half of subterminal area 
suffused with darker red-brown scales; median area including ordi- 
nary spots and terminal area suffused with dark gray, metallic scales 
that tend toward a violet iridescence; a narrow V formed by two 
vague white lines above tornus; fringe brown, darker at tornus. 
Hindwing mostly yellow orange; a vague salmon-colored marginal 
band from apex to Cu,; cell Cu, with a black spot covering half or 
more of the salmon spot; cell Cu, with an extensive broad salmon 
spot bordered or partially bordered with black; fringe yellow or whitish

Type male, Jamaica, USNM 64644 and two male paratypes, 
Jamaica, in the U.S. National Museum, Washington, D.C. Two 
male paratypes, Runaway Bay, Jamaica, April 1905, Walsingham; 
one male paratype, Jamaica; one male paratype, Moneague, Jamaica, 
April 9, 1928, 1200 ft., Dr. F. W. Jackson; one male paratype, Jamaica, 
Yates; one male paratype, Jamaica, Dr. Jackson; one female paratype, 
Sturridge, Jamaica; one female paratype, Saint Ann, Jamaica, Martin, 
in the British Museum (Natural History), London, England. 
This species was erroneously figured by Hampson (1910, fig. 191) 
as undulans. It differs from that species in that white lines near 
the tornus of the forewing form a V, and the tuft of scales on the 
first abdominal segment form a uniformly black transverse patch.
