Psyche 
[March-June 
angled at apex; apex truncate. Median ventral process of pygofer 
forming an isosceles triangle with sides convex in apical half. 
Described from 27 males and 33 females collected by the 
writer at 2,000 ft. on Morne Garu (Aug. 20, 21, 1941), and at 
Three Rivers (Sept. 3-5, 1941), St. Vincent, B. W. I., mostly 
resting on Tabernaemontana sp. and Heliconia bihai. The 
species is distinguished by the pattern of the tegmina, which, 
though of a common type, is characteristic in its details, and by 
the conspicuous processes on the periandrium and penis. 
Bothriocera longistyla sp. n. 
Male. Length, 3.4 mm.; tegmen, 4.2 mm. Female. Length, 3.5 
mm.; tegmen, 4.4 mm. Frons, clypeus, vertex, pronotum and legs 
pale testaceous, margins of antennal pit narrowly fuscous ; mesonotum 
dark testaceous or fuscous; abdomen and genitalia brown or fuscous. 
Tegmina transparent, ivory yellow; veins lightly clouded, except 
R, M, and Cu at base; an interrupted narrow band from stigma to 
apex of clavus; subapical cross- veins narrowly clouded; clavus pale, 
smoky behind posterior vein. Wings transparent, clouded over part 
of anal area. Insect in life powdered grey. 
Anal segment of male with posterior border bluntly rounded. Peri- 
andrium tubular, a broad process on left side tapering to a point 
anteriorly. Penis looping in a semicircle, irregularly serrate along 
margin, tapering to a fine point. Genital styles narrow, elongate, 
obtusely angled near middle, tapering slightly to a blunt point at tip. 
Median ventral process of pygofer subconically rounded. 
Described from 30 males and 41 females collected by the 
writer at 1,000 ft. in mountain forest near Quilesse, St. Lucia, 
B. W. I. (March 20, 21, 1939) and on Morne Fortunee, St. Lucia 
at 750 ft. (Feb. 2-5, 1940), resting on Miconia sp., Tabernae- 
montana sp., and Inga lamina. The species is readily distin- 
guished by its pale tegmina and long tapering styles, and by the 
shape of the periandrium. A long series from Morne Garu, 
St. Vincent, B. W. I. (coll. R. G. F. Aug. 20, 21, 1941) is as- 
signed to this species, but differs constantly in having the teg- 
mina wholly transparent and unmarked, and a periandrial 
process with a broader base. The St. Lucian variety is desig- 
nated as B. longistyla var. vulgaris and the St. Vincent variety 
as B. longistyla var. pallida.
