APHZ2NA LECTISSIMA. 
Herbida; caput cornu brevi acuto suberecto, verticis lateribus cari» 
natis, fronte facieque planis, hac subcarinata; abdomen supra 
testaceum; ale antice lurid@, subtus rufe, maculis plurimis 
viridibus albo guttatis, margine viridi, guttis marginalibus 
nigris, costalibus albis, posticis basalibus luteis ; postice coc-

Grass-green. Head with a short acute almost vertical horn ; 
sides of the vertex ridged; front and face flat, excepting a slight 
keel on the latter. Abdomen testaceous above. Fore wings lurid, 
red beneath, except towards the tips, adorned with many green 
white-dotted spots; border green, adorned with dots of white tomen- 
tum along the costa, and with black dots elsewhere, except towards 
the base of the interior border, where the dots are luteous. Hind 
Wings crimson for more than half the length from the base. 
Length of the body 10 lines ; of the wings 30 lines. 
The genus Aphena may be divided into the following groups : 
Ist (type A, submaculata, which seems to be distinct from A. auran- 
tia), where the horn of the head extends horizontally to the protho- 
Tax; 2nd (type A. lectissima), where the horn is almost vertical : 
3rd (type A. rosea), where the horn is almost obsolete, and which is 
also distinguished from the two preceding groups by the much more 
humerous veins and veinlets on the exterior part of the wings: 4th 
(ype A. imperialis), like the fourth group in the structure of 
the head, but with the fore wings narrower, and with much fewer 
veins and veinlets,
