PvTIYXCHAGUOTIS SAMBO, n. sp. 



Has the trlgonate primaries of triffona, but is smaller and the wings 

 are a little longer, not quite so .stubby. Maculation also as in triyona, but 

 much better defined, while the s.t. line is pale, preceded by a distinct 

 blackish or dusky shading. While there are some almost uniform examjDles, 

 the tendency is all in the opposite direction, the basal area becoming 

 darker between the basal and t.a. line until a conspicuous black band ap- 

 pears; the s.t. space in turn may also become darker until it is completely 

 black filled; one example, with basal and s.t. bands and ordinary spots 

 lost, presenting an appearance that proved puzzling until the series now 

 in hand was examined. vSecondaries blackish, fringes rufous. 



Expands.— 1.1()-1.28 inches (29-30"^"^).

A series of 12 g 's and 12$'s, most of them in good or fair condition, 

 and while extremely variable, yet in altogether a different direction from 

 tru/oiia, which is approached only in one or two very uniform examples.
