upper surface reappear on this side, though less distinctly defined, 

 owing to the paler ground-colour. The secondaries are dark 

 brown, slightly touched witli greyish on the outer margin near the 

 outer angle. There are a few obscure pale discal spots beyond the 

 cell. 



2 . The female is marked like the male, but lacks, of course, the 

 characteristic sexual markings of the male. The wings are more 

 elongated and rounded, and the primaries have a translucent 

 yellow spot on interval 1, midway between the base and the outer 

 margin.

The number of the small subapical spots in this species is 

 variable. Some specimens have but two, others three, while the 

 type of Ploetz is destitute of such spots. The absence of the 

 sexual bi'and on the upperside of the primaries of the male is 

 apparently the only mark of distinction having generic weight 

 which would lead me to separate this species from the foregoing 

 three. If there are other points, I have failed to discover them, 

 and I hesitate to erect a new genus for the reception of this 

 species without some more evident reason,
