Hah. Juan Vinas, Tuis. 



Two specimens have the palpi fringed with yellow, and 

 the fringe on the outer margin of primaries is also yellow, 

 but I do not consider them distinct. This species is figured 

 in the ' Novitatcs ' for 1909, pi. vi. fig. 36, as Autoinolis 

 coUuteralisj Ilamps., which is quite another species.

 blue subdorsal spots on last three segments; blue hairs on 

 anus; lateral and sublateral blue spots; ventral transverse 

 blue streaks on first two segments. Legs black ; fore coxaj 

 blue; blue streaks on tibiae. Wings black. Primaries: an 

 orange streak on basal half of costa; an orange band from 

 near base of inner margin to near termen between veins 6 

 and 7, where it expat\ds slightly, its front margin somewhat 

 uneven ; fringe grey-black. Secondaries : the costa broadly 

 orange; underneath the base of secondaries is either black or

 The females all seem to have the orange ventral spots and 

 also a lateral small orange spot near the base.

Allied to .4. pratti, Druce, but the band on primaries 

 much narrower.
