Psyche 
[March 
little shorter than the first, unknown in the male. Ventral 
plate of female narrow and rather long, shining piceous. 
Veins of wings uniformly piceous but becoming paler at the 
base. 
Holotype ( $ ) : Port-au-Prince, Haiti (William Mann) in 
the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 
In Van Duzee’s key haitiensis runs to nigra Van Duzee 
from Oregon. But it differs from nigra in the shape and 
color of the antennse, the pale hairs on the abdomen, darker 
front, the relative lengths of the first and second segments 
of the proboscis, etc. The new species is perhaps nearest 
to loraria Loew from eastern United States. But loraria 
has a shorter ventral plate, paler front, and dark hairs on the 
cheeks absent or very few and fine.
