The colour of tlie npjier snvfacp varies from parrot-green to tawiiy-rnsset. The 

 russet specimens are much rarer on tbe L'otitiueut than in Jamaica. The green 

 colour often changes to rnsset when the insect becomes ilamj) in the relaxing box. 

 The (liseal lines of the forewing are not very distinct ; four are marked in middle 

 of liinder margin ; the line from apex is short, but reappears generally beyond It-. 

 The hiudwing has, besides the anal pati^ii and a larger sqnare spot M- — SM-, four 

 or five ovate spots ; spot SC^ — R' is always small, the next is generally the largest 

 of the five, but is occasionally reduced to a streak. The abdomen is marked on 

 the upperside by an extremely faint mesial line, which is seldom plainly visible, 

 and by two rows of dots. Spines of tergites of abdomen very strong, uniseriate on 

 last segments. 



cJ. The sexual armature remarkably different from that of all the other 

 X)/hph<tiH's. Tenth abdominal tergite broad, flat, deeply sinuate, the sinus rounded, 

 the lobes feebly curved downwards, slightly concave beneath, apex rounded 

 (PI. XLV. f. 9. 1(1) ; sternite (PI. XLV. f^ll) compressed basally, dilated at end, 

 truncate-sinuate, the angles rounded, the upper side concave. Harpe (PI. LII. f 4) 

 rather widened dorsad, the upper margin angnlate, the process compressed, feebly 

 cnrved, ajiex rounded, mostly armed with a tooth, upper margin more or leas 

 notched. Penis-sheath (PL LVII. f. is. 19): dorsal margin abruptly ending at 

 the right side in a comb of from three to seven teeth ; a regular row of long, 

 sharply jtointed teeth parallel to the edge, extending from near the comb to the 

 left side— these teeth break off very easily except the two small proximal ones, 

 so that one does not find many canght s]iecimens which show the armature intact. 



? . Eighth abdominal tergite rather deeply sinuate. Vaginal armature more 

 strongly chitinised than is ordinarily the case in this genus ; the proximal edge of 

 the mouth of the vagina more prominent. 



Early stages not known.
