Hah, West Indies — Poetobico ' ' -. 



I am unacquainted with this species, but it probably belongs 

 here, as the genus to which Moschler referred it does not appear 

 to occur in the West Indies.

181. EUCELIS ? LITSTEOMAEGIKATA, sp. n. 



Antetimv stone-grey. Head and palpi stone-ochreous. Fore 

 u'ings stone-colour, transversely striated with brownish fuscous, 

 giving the whole wing a speckled and streaked appearance; among 

 many more slender lines two may be especially distinguished, 

 although both broken and ill-defined, the first commencing on the 

 costa at one-third from the base, augulated outwards above the 

 middle and reverting to the dorsum almost at a right angle ; the 

 second commencing on the middle of the costa, also outwardly 

 rectangular above the middle, nearly parallel with the first, but 

 slightly diverging toward the dorsum, which it reaches before the 

 commencement of the cilia ; between these lines is a lustrous steel- 

 grey sheen above the middle ; a series of geminated white 

 streaklets along the costa, with some lustrous lines and a row 

 of 4 or 5 black spots along the termen, the upper one being at the 

 apex ; cilia shining steel -grey. Exp), al. 9 mm. Hind wings greyish 

 fuscous, strongly iridescent in certain lights ; cilia shining steel- 

 grey. (Underside of both wings biilliantly iridescent.) Abdomen 

 grey. Legs greyish. 



Type, 5 Mus. Gudmann. 



Hah. West Indies — St. Ceoix, 4 V. (Hedemann). Unique. 



In the absence of the male this species cannot be referred with 

 certainty to the genus Eucelis, and it differs from the type in 

 having veins 3 and 4 of the hind wings coincident.
