Long. Corp. 2 lin. (=4 mill.); exp, alar. 5| lin. ( = 12 mill.). 



tiab. Peru {Edwards) {in mus. auct.). 



Blackish fuscous. Head clothed with golden pubescence : antenna; and 

 palpi black or blackish fuscous ; the former have each joint somewhat 

 swollen internally at its apex : eyes blackish. Legs dull testaceous, 

 the tarsi slightly infuscate. Abdomen blackish : cf app. sup. band- 

 shaped, nearly semicircular, truncate or slightly excised at the apex ; 

 app. inf. longer, claw-shaped, much incurvated, the tips acuminate and 

 acute, turned downward. 



Anterior wings fuscous, densely clothed with short golden-brown pubes- 

 cence ; veins dark ; the subcosta joins the costa beyond the middle ; 

 the median cellule commences much before the discoidal, and extends 

 slightly beyond it. Posterior wings smoky blackish, iridescent, with 

 blackish fuscous pubescence and fringes ; the subcosta extends beyond 

 the middle of the costa. (PI. IV. fig. 20, details.) 



I possess about eight examples, taken by Mr. H. Edwards 

 in Peru, probably in the neighbourhood of Lima.

 men fuscous : in the <? the inferior appendices are long and slender, 

 two-jointed, the second joint rather long, curved strongly downward, 

 not pointed (the abdomen is injureo, bo that I cannot define the gene- 

 ral arrangement of the apical parts): in the $ there is a short pro- 

 jecting lobe at the apex above, and a broadly rounded valve on each 

 side. 



Anterior wings more elongate at the apex than in the preceding species ;
