Al. Azelina denticulata, sp. n. 
Red-brown: primaries rather pale, the lines reddish choco- 
late ; the inner line S-shaped, with pale inner edge, outer line 
expanded internally into a band, covering, below the cell, 
about a third of the central belt, its outer edge slightly undu- 
lated, the greatest projection being on the interno-median 
interspace; this line or band is edged externally with pinky 
whitish ; two oblique pale sericeous streaks across the disk, 
as in A. lustraria, stuposaria, and one or two other species; 
an incomplete submarginal series of black dots, more or less 
prominently pupilled with white: secondaries greyish with 
reddish ochraceous external border; costal border whitish; a 
submarginal series of black dots; discal line nearly straight, 
chocolate-brown, with slender whitish edge: thorax darker 
than abdomen, prominently crested. Under surface reddish 
brown; a slender, externally white-edged, black discal line, 
straight on the primaries, irregularly undulated on the secon- 
daries: primaries with the submedian area grey, the median 
interspaces black towards the base, but crossed from the 
middle by a large pyriform white patch ; internal area silky 
white; two or three submarginal dots with more or less pro- 
minent white pupils: secondaries with a large black spot with 
cream-coloured margin, and divided by veins of the same 
colour at the inferior angle of the cell; abdominal border and 
fringe pale buff; legs cream-coloured, streaked with dark 
brown. Expanse of wings 1 inch 9 lines. 
Two specimens. Ecuador (Buckley). Type B.M. 
The primaries of this species are slightly irregular, as in 
A. poaphilaria ; but the secondaries are distinctly dentated, 
the margin from the third median branch to the anal angle 
bearing three well-defined and slightly incurved processes of 
equal length and width. The species therefore, although in 
pattern it most resembles A. Hiibneraria and allies, seems by 
its structure to come nearer to A. clysiaria; it nevertheless 
differs somewhat in form from all described species.
