88 LOED WALSINGHAM ON [Jail. 19, 



Head and tfwrax smooth. 



Fore luhigs narrow, elongate, apex not depressed, termen 

 oblique and evenly rounded, not sinuate beneath apex, tornus 

 not apparent. Neuration: 11 veins (2 and 3 coincident); 7 and 8 

 stalked out of 6, 7 to costa slightly before apex ; 4 approximated 

 to 2 + 3; 1 furcate at base. 



Hind wings as broad as the fore wings ; costa sinuate from 

 before middle, clothed almost fi*om the base with cilia of even 

 length ; strongly and angularly excavate beneath the produced 

 apex, tornus rounded, dorsinn straight, abdominal angle developed. 

 Neuration : 8 veins ; 3 and 4 connate or stalked, 5 approximated 

 to 6, 6 and 7 somewhat approximated. 



Legs : hind tibiae with long hairs above and shorter ones beneath. 



Allied to 31eso2)hlej)s, lib., but differing in neuration and in the 

 structure of the palpi. I have been unable to refer this form to 

 any of the genera proposed by Chambers.

Antennae whitish ochreous, faintly annulated. Palpi whitish 

 ochreous, the second joint reddish brown externally except the

 fawn-ochreous over the remaining wing-surface ; an umber-brown 

 shade extending from before the middle of the costa to the apex ; 

 three faint fawn-grey spots are visible, tlie first on the middle of 

 the fold, the third at the end of the cell, and the second equi-

Hah. West Indies — St. Croix, 27 IV.-5 V. {Gudmann, Hede- 

 inann) ; St. Thomas, 11-19 III. (Gudnutnn, Hedemann) ; Grenada 

 (wdndward side, Balthazar, 250 ft., 15-27 lA^. ; leeward side, Mount 

 Gay Estate, 300 ft., 25-30 ^^H1.—H. H. Smith). 



The specimens from St. Thomas and St. Croix are uniformly 

 smaller (10-13 mm.) than those from Grenada (14-18 mm.) ; but 

 I consider them to be the same species.
