The present species is easily distiii,i;iiis]ieJ from anchemolus iu the <S sex by 

 the first segment of the hiniltarsus not being broadly scaled ; the ? ? re(juire more 

 careful comparison, but the dark outer snrface of the furetibia and the less extended 

 white hinder edge of the forewing, as well as the prolonged subapical costal patch of 

 the same wing, will be sufficient to recognise triaitgulum.

c? ? . The insects united here under one species have partly been considered 

 specifically distinct. As these forms are clearly geograjihical reiiresentatives of 

 one another, and differ only in tiie lighter or deeper shades of the pattern, which 

 is otherwise essentially the same, the differences being, besides, bridged over to 

 a certain extent by intergradnate individuals, we do not see any reason for treating 

 any of the insects as distinct. 



Linne's description is based solely on Drnry's figures, which are said by 

 Drury to be taken from Jamaica specimens. The figure of the 3 agrees fairly 

 well with our Jamaica i , showing especially the reddish tint peculiar to the 

 Jamaica <S , while the figure of the ? is decidedly incorrect. It is altogether too 

 green, and does not agree at all with Drnry's own descrijition, which fits Jamaica 

 examples. The figure, resembling to a certain extent the North American form 

 pandorus of satellitia, misled Messrs. Grote and Robinson to consider the Nearctic 

 form to be the true .vitcllitia. 



White spot of paljius and sj)ot behind eye consjiicuous. Forewing with 

 black double stigma, deeper iu tint thau the lines ; hinder edge more or less 

 pinkish. Under surface not red ; but disc of forewing often russet-tawny. First 

 segment of hindtarsus sliorter than tibia iu J', only as long as segments 'Z and 

 3 together ; iu ? as long as tibia. 



S. Tenth tergite pointed (PL XLIV. f. 5). (,'laspcr large, dorsal margin 

 slightly convex ; no patch of bristles on inner surface ; harpe ending iu a long, 

 evenly curved hook which varies in length (PI. XLVIII. f 2). Penis-sheath stont, 

 process pointed but not slender, about twice as long as the sheath is broad. 

 (PI. LIV. f. 27). 



Larva green, sometimes changing to brown shortly before ])upatiiig ; with 

 five or six white side-spots ; fine bhuk dots, especially on fourth segment. —
