(Partim.) 



There is apparently no difference in the coloration and colour-pattern between this species 

 and fernandezi except on the forewing where the grey medial marking is closer to the tornus 

 in fernandezi (see Key) . The male differs radically from that of fernandezi in the absence of a 

 hair-pencil and androconial zones (see pp. 10 and 53). The female is unknown. 



Forewing length: lectotype 17-5 mm; I7-5-i8'5 mm. 



<J genitalia. Asymmetric and bent to the right posteriorly. Posterior part of vinculum 

 greatly modified to form asymmetric, setose hood dorsal to rest of genitalia; this hood bearing 

 two posterior processes, that on the left longer and incurved. Valve with large, membranous, 

 apical process, that on left larger than right-hand lobe. Uncus without basal processes. 

 Vesica of aedeagus with scobinate areas and large spinose zone. 



It is probable that the female of lurida will prove to have an outwardly-opening 

 pocket on the right-hand side to accommodate the inwardly-directed left-hand 

 arm of the male vinculum, comparable to the manner in which the male and female 

 genitalia of fernandezi apparently interlock during copulation. 



Previous references in the literature to so-called lurida probably refer exclusively 

 to fernandezi except where BMNH and Carnegie Museum material are concerned.
