8 Mr. W. C. Hewltson on Pronophila. 



Underside dark brown. Both wings with an indistinct white 

 spot on their costal margins beyond the middle. Anterior wing 

 with two or three minute white spots between the nervures. Pos- 

 terior wing darker than above, undulated, with a large, nearly 

 bifid, silvery-white spot, and a minute spot, also white, at the 

 anal angle. 



There is a variety of this species in which the white spot near 

 the anal angle, on the underside of the posterior wing, is pro- 

 duced until it reaches the third median nervule in a point : it is 

 without the indendation on its inner border. 



Exp. 2-^^ inch.
