were dissected by Dr. Hering, and I hereby designate this dissected 

 male as the lectotype. He compared the genitaha of this specimen 

 with photographs of drawings sent to hun and found that mixta is the 

 species I have figured on plate 6, figure 4. 



Location of type. — Lectotype in the Moschler collection, Zoological 

 Museum of the University of Berlin. 



Distribution. — Jamaica: St. Andrew Parish, Newcastle (Sept.); 

 St. Ann Parish, Claremont (Mar.), Moneague (Feb.); Trelawny 

 Parish, Baron Hill (Oct.). 



Twelve specimens examined. 



Comparative remarks. — The greenish appearance of the forewing 

 caused by numerous scattered yellow scales distinguishes this species 

 from the other species in the genus. The characters of the male and 

 female genitalia as given in the key and illustrated on plate 6, figure 4, 

 and plate 7, figure 9, are diagnostic.
