Ephyriades cubensis n. sp. 



Female. Expanse 49 mm. Primaries black (very dark brown) 

 with three small silvery dots at the outer third of the costa, extending 

 into the wing at a right angle from the costa; below these are one or 

 two silvery dots almost obsolete, and in the disc below the end of the 

 discoidal cell are two other silvery spots, much more distinct. Beyond 

 these, toward the margin, the wing is somewhat lighter in color. Sec- 

 ondaries black and very faintly marked with spots or bands (almost 

 obsolete). 



Underside. Primaries as above, with the spots repeated, but more 

 distinctly shown. Secondaries smoky black, interspersed with li&ht 

 brown scales or hairs, that show distinctly under a low power lens. 



Body and legs black; pectus and palpi white; antennae black with 

 the tips Hghter in color below. 



Described from one specimen, from Mr. C. T. Ramsden, 

 taken at La Yberia, twenty miles west of Baracoa, Cuba, 

 September i8th, 1909. Altitude 2000 feet. 



The genus to which this species is referred may not be 

 the correct one. To be sure of the proper genus it is neces- 

 sary to have a specimen of the male sex.
