Hah. West Indies — St. Vincent (1 specimen, Smith). 

 Type, 2 . 



Having only a single $ of this species from St. Vincent I have 

 used a S from Brazil in drawing up tlie generic description.

[^Head missing.] 



Thorax slaty grey. 



Fore wings deep brownish fuscous, mottled with curved bands and 

 spots of slaty-grey ; the basal half of the wing is entirely occupied 

 by transverse bands of this colour, separated from each other by 

 slender lines of the dark ground-colour, of which one is longitudinal 

 from the base, reaching but a short way into the wing ; one above 

 it, also short, is oblique from the costa ; and one below it from the 

 dorsal margin, somewhat wider, pointed obliquely outwards ; the 

 outer edge of the mottled basal patch is curved outwardly, reaching 

 much farther along the dorsal than on the costal margin, where it 

 does not attain to the middle of the w'ing ; about the middle of the 

 wing is an outwardly oblique costal streak of slaty-grey, curved at 

 its lower end and more or less blended with a shorter streak beyond 

 it ; between this pair of streaks and the apex of the wing are three 

 other similar streaks, the first running obliquely outwards from the 

 costa to the upper third of the apical margin, where it meets a 

 shorter and less oblique subapical streak ; between these two is a 

 third very short streaklet on the extreme costal margin ; all these 

 five streaks are touched with whitish scales, and some are also 

 visible on the extreme costal edge of the basal patch ; above the 

 anal angle is an irregular, somewhat ocelloid, spot formed of two 

 curved slaty-grey streaks ; throughout the wings these slaty-grey 

 bands are somewhat shining in contrast with the dull ground-colour ; 

 cilia dark slaty-grey. Underside unicolorous brownish fuscous, with 

 five small whitish costal spots. 



Hind vjings brown ; cilia pale grey. 



Abdomen brownish. 



Legs pale greyish ; hind tarsal joints spotted alternately with 

 greyish white and fuscous. 



Exp. al. 12 millim.

This specimen has unfortunately lost its head ; there can be no 

 doubt as to the genus in which it should be placed, but in markings
