W(> (111 not believe tlint Cramer's //f/>/a.y>i/s is based on anytliiiig else but a 

 siieeinieii u'i mititrns witli tiie abibiineii of rlur/i/iiis, the jiosterior spots of whieli 

 were bb'aelieil to wiiite ; the bad <b-awiiiu: of the hiiidwing suggests that the 

 specimen was ninfihitcd. 



(S ?. Cellide M' — M- of forewing semitransparent, the scaling not being dense 

 and the scales of the upper layer being hair-like on the under surface, the black- 

 dash in tliis cellule, therefore, more or less obliterated ; the dash R'~M' lundi 

 heavier, but the modilication of the scaling also here apparent ; the buiBsh white 

 subbasal line, which is separated ■ into a costal, a more distal cellular, aud a 

 postcellular jiortioii, differs from the same line of diipoiwhel in the posterior portion 

 being more distal and standing at right angles to M, this portion being in fact a 

 little farther from the base than the costal one, while in daponchd the reverse is 

 the case ; the postdiscal line more curved than in duponchel. The transparent 

 spaces of the hindwing are long, space R' — R* being obviously longer than the 

 brown border of the wing is broad ; the spaces are incised distally, the brown 

 border being more or less strongly dentate between the veins ; cellule M^ — (SM') 

 anteriorly more or less semitransparent. Underside often rather conspicuously 

 washed with ochre yellow. 



S. Foretibia very little, midtibia obviously, longer and hindtibia a little shorter, 

 than the respective first tarsal segments ; anterior tarsus as in duponchel, but the 

 first segment possesses only the external spines, the comb being but represented 

 by one or two apical spines, the other segments with a few more spines thaa in 

 duponchel. Tenth abdominal tergite (PI. XXVII. f. 41. 42) somewhat bi-arcuate 

 in side-view, apex pointing downward and distad, more or less acute, long ; sternite 

 similar to that of lucifer, but the sides more i)arallel and the apex rounded-truncate. 

 Clasper large ; harpe with a strong subcylindrical process, which is rather club- 

 shaped, being dilated at end, the distal part heavily dentate ; above the harju' 

 near the base of the clasper is a high fold (PI. XXXVII. f. 6) beset with 

 numerous long bristles. The jienis-funnel is represented by a kind of collar-shaped 

 fold, which is open ventrally aud is clothed with minute hairs ; penis-sheath 

 (PI. XXIX. f. 1.5) with one small tooth before end. 



? . Foretarsus with all four rows of spines present, comb of second segment 

 not so regular as in cJ, and the spines directed more dista<l ; foretibia little longer, 

 mid- and hindtibia 1 to ',; mm. longer, than the respective first tarsal segment. 

 Vaginal plate very large, strongly chitinised also apically, but with few or no 

 scales (PI. XIX. f. 5), subtruncate, lateral edges incrassate or recurved ; month 

 of vagina free, with the edge not so much raised as in lucifer and bcelzebutli, 

 more proximal in position than in atiy other species, being much nearer tlie base 

 than the apex. Specimens that have copulated boar generally a high longitudinal 

 crest of a whitish substance on the vaginal plate. 



Jmrva greyish green, one broad white oblii|ue stripe ending at the horn ; 

 stigmata yellow ; no green oblicpie side-bands on segments 4 to 11. — Food : Anomi, 

 not Jatrophd. 



Pupa: long and rather slender (length '.lO mm.), eighth abdominal tergite 

 with divided patch of tubercles. 



Hitlj. Neotrojjical Region, including the Antilles and Florida, occasionally 

 farther north.
