554 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



One male, California; the last four abdominal seg- 

 ments are wanting; hind wing 30 mm., front wings with 

 32 (right), 29 (left) antecubitals, the 5th and loth (right), 

 6th and 9th (left) thicker than the others; the first two 

 yellow, lateral, thoracic stripes reach the coxae. The dark 

 transverse band on the wings is not fully colored; its ex- 

 tent exactly agrees with the description of a male variety 

 from Porto Cabello, Venezuela, mentioned in the Mon. 

 Calopt. p. 260, as follows: "the brown band does not 

 extend as far as the pterostigma on the superiors, and 

 ends at its origin on the inferiors ; in a word the apical 

 hyaline part of the wings is broader and equals half the 

 breadth of the brown band." 



Since this species is known only from Venezuela and 

 Colombia, its discovery in California is of great interest, 

 should no mistake have been made as regards the locality 

 from which this individual came. Hitherto the genus 

 Eitthore has been regarded as exclusively South Amer- 

 ican.

One female, California. 



Differs from Brauer's description of 1866 by the ab- 

 sence of a very fine transverse yellow line on the anterior 

 edge of abdominal segments 3-6. 



Differs from de Selys' description onl}^ as follows: 

 costal, subcostal and median spaces pale yellow to the 

 first antecubital and the median cross-vein; costa yellow 

 exteriorW to beyond the pterostigma; pterostigma black- 

 ish (Brauer says it is black), 4.5 mm. long; five median 

 cross-veins on the front wings, two (other than that form- 

 ing the internal triangle) on the hind wings, eight postcu- 

 bitals on front wings (Brauer gives 8-9); the " hamecon
