  The 
  species 
  has 
  the 
  wings 
  unusually 
  long 
  and 
  narrow; 
  the 
  hair- 
  

   whorls 
  at 
  the 
  bases 
  of 
  the 
  antennas 
  are 
  short 
  and 
  do 
  not 
  become 
  conflu- 
  

   ent 
  to 
  form 
  the 
  high 
  vertical 
  tuft 
  characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  genus. 
  

  

  The 
  specimens 
  show 
  some 
  individual 
  diversity. 
  The 
  male 
  from 
  

   Orizaba 
  is 
  described 
  above. 
  The 
  male 
  from 
  Cordoba 
  is 
  much 
  less 
  dis- 
  

   tinctly 
  marked. 
  Its 
  color 
  is 
  the 
  same, 
  but 
  the 
  dark 
  apical 
  shading 
  is 
  

   much 
  less 
  noticeable. 
  Of 
  the 
  females, 
  the 
  one 
  collected 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Knab 
  

   I 
  consider 
  typical. 
  The 
  other 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  larger 
  and 
  darker, 
  with 
  the 
  

   shadings 
  heavy 
  and 
  extensive, 
  crossing 
  the 
  basal 
  light 
  space 
  and 
  

   almost 
  wholly 
  obscuring 
  the 
  submarginal 
  lunate 
  marks.
