The divisory cell is very slender; costals 16 to 18, cos- 
tal area hardly as broad as radial area, the third or 
fourth costal is plainly sinuous. There is no mark on 
the cheek, the antennal sockets are usually margined with 
red, the inner stripe on basal joint is continued back on 
the vertex.

From Vergel, Chiapas, 29 May, 17 May, 22 May, 1, 4 
June; Esmerelda, Chiapas, Sierra Madre del Sur, 11 
May. 
The divisory cell is much like that of arioles, but often 
a little broader; about 18 to 20 costals, the third or 
fourth is sinuous ; there is ordinarily no mark on cheek 
nor face, but one of the Vergel specimens has a black 
streak from eye toward mouth, ending in a slender point 
on clypeus ; the basal joint of antennae is wholly black 
(instead of the two black marks) ; in this specimen and 
several of the others the gradates are faintly bordered 
with brown; the marks on basal joint in these usually 
black, or almost so.

The costal area is not nearly as broad as radial area, 
14 to 15 costals, the third or fourth often a little sinuous ; 
practically all the cross-veins and the gradates of fore 
wing are black. In hind wing the gradates dark, most 
other veins pale ; the costal cells fully twice as long as 
broad. In neither wing do the gradates bend the sec-
