This little species is not white at the end of the abdomen, nor 

 has it );he interrupted white line along the inner margin of the 

 secondaries which is conspicuous in 6. ahurai, Ploetz. The lower 

 pide in the type, which is before me, is more prevalently tawny on 

 the costa and at the apex of the primaries, as well as on the disk 

 of the secondaries. Otherwise it closely approximates G. aburce, 

 Ploetz, var. diversata, Holl.

(J . Primaries and secondaries on the upperside black. The 

 ])rimaries are ornamented by two minute spots near the end of the 

 cell, of which the lower one is the larger. Immediately below this 

 spot, in interval 2, is a moderately large sublunate transpaient 

 spot, Hnd beyond this in the same series, in intervals 3 and 4, a 

 siiiiill spot in each interval. Beyond the cell there is a minute 

 subapical spot. The secondaries have a very small and obscure, 

 scarcely visible, translucent spot at the end of the cell. The 

 primaries and secondaries on the underside are blackish, with 

 The the inner margin of the primaries slightly laved with fulvous, 

 secondaries are obscurely niiirked with purplish hoary scales. The 

 cilia, both on the upper and lower side, are pale yellowish fuscous. 

 The palpi are black on the upperside, yellowish underneath. The 

 thorax and abdomen on the lower side are blackish.

This small species is allied to 6. suhfaxalns, Mab., but appears

tS . The upperside of the body, the primaries, and the second- 

 aries are black. The primaries are ornamented with three 

 minufe subapical spots in the usual position. In some specimens 

 these spots have a tendency to become obsolete. There are two 

 minute white translucent spots at the end of the cell in the 

 primaries, and just below them in interval 2 a subquadrate spot. 

 On vein 1, near the middle in interval 1, is a small subtriangular 

 spot, in interval 3, beyond the end of the cell, a moderately large 

 subquadrate spot. In the male on the secondaries there is a large 

 translucent spot at the end of the cell, and two similar elongated 

 spots beyond the end of the cell on either side of vein 3 at its 

 origin. On the underside the primaries are greenish ochraceous, 

 with the inner half of the wing broadly laved with blackish,
