(J?. Basal ciliae of antennal segments of ? very fet'bh' proloaged. External 

 spur of midtibia longer than internal. Spines of abdominal tergites nniseriate- 

 The green colour of the thora.K and forewing often fading to rnsset or ferrnginous. 

 Abdomen with a thin mesial line, interrupted at the bases of the segments by 

 metallic yellow dots, another line laterally ; underside of thorax and abdomen more 

 or less maize-yellow, with metallic yellow scales ; a few such scales also dorso- 



laterally. Forewing : a snbbasal patch or band, 4 or 5 antemedian lines ; first 



discal line straight, curved costad anteriorly, second line mostly absent, third and 

 fourth evenly dentate ; apical line curved, even, ending in a }iatch at R^, followed 

 by a dentate line ; the basal and disto-marginal intersjiaces more or less shaded 

 with silvery grey. The ochre-yellow band of the hindwing distingnishes phtto from 

 all the other American Xi/lopliaiies. 



(S. Friction-scales of clasper few in number, large, truncate, midrib prominent. 

 Tenth tergite very narrow, truncate-sinuate ; sternite witli parallel sides, rounded 

 at end, upperside concave, transversely ribbed, middle line somewhat raised. 

 Process of harpe curved as in pistacina, but somewhat stouter, not narrowed to 

 end, witii some teeth before tip. Penis-sheath peculiar : a right dentate lobe, and 

 a left ridge bearing the teeth at the distal edge (PI. LVII. f. 8. 4), this dentition 

 recalling the armature oi adalin. 



Larva described by Gundlach, I.e. ; a dark and a pale form, both witii an 

 ocellus on the fourth segment. — Food-plant : Erythroxylon. 



Hah. Neotropical Region : Bahamas, Florida, southward over the Antilles and 

 the Continent to Southern Brazil. 



In the Tring Museum 80-odd specimens from : Cuba ; Haiti ; Nassau, 

 Bahamas (Sir G. Charter) ; Florida ; Mexico ; southward to Peru and South Brazil.
