(? ? . Head and prothorax rather longer than in the other species of PhoUi.i, 

 excepting unchemoUi.i. Hindtar.sus very long, first segment somewiiat longer than 

 tibia. First segment of palpns a little longer than second. Patch of modified 

 scales near base of M of forewing below more distinct than in the other species. 

 Easily recognised by the bine patches of the hiudwing. 



$ . Tenth tergite relatively very short, pointed (PI. XLIV. f. 1). Clasper sub- 

 acuminate, apex more convex dorsally than veutrally ; harpe as in mtclUtia, shorter, 

 vertical part of hook sometimes nearly as long as horizontal part of hook (PL 

 XLVIII. f. 4). Penis-sheath slender, process very short and obtuse {Y\. LIV. f. 28). 



Larva : first stages green, later brown or greenish brown ; fourth segment with 

 a small round ocellus : young caterpiUars (except first stage) with a series of seven 

 rosy side-bands, replaced later by white sjiots ; adult larva with obscure pale side- 

 liand from head to anal segment, irregnlarly zigzag on segments 4 to 10; thoracical 

 segments, besides, with pale ventro-lateral band and thin dorsal line ; 4th to lltli 

 segments striated with thin short huffish lines, which are especially obvious on the 

 back. — Food: llti.i ; Ampelopsis. 



Pupa : liead-case more projecting than in satellitia, anchemolus, litis, far more 

 convex ventrally than on back ; cremaster broad, short, triangular, flattened, rough. 



/fab. Neotrojiical ]{egion,from Patagonia northward to < 'anada, but only visitor 

 in the temperate and cold northern and southern districts. Apparently everywhere 

 in Central and South America. 



In the Tring Museum .'5 larvae, 3 pupae, and TD-odd sjieeiraens from : Jamaica ; 

 Haiti; Cuba; Nassau, ISaliamas (ISir G. Carter) ; Florida southwards to I'lienos 

 Ayres, many [ilaces.

 Alidoininal segments with one row of heavy sjjines, which are only partly con-
