T wold regard this species as being most hearly allied to Limenia (Dapanap- 
tera) perdecora (Walker), from whieh it differs conspicuously in the coloration 
of the hody and wings, The latter are not completely crossbanded with yellow, 
as is the ease in the various species that centre about awmeatra (Walker), 
LIMONTA (DAPANOPTERA) CANDITATA OPULEN'TA subsp, noy. 
General coloration of thorax and abdomen light yellow, the praescutnm and 
scutal lobes with slightly more fulvous yellow areas; antennae with the flagellar
