olive yellow, except around purple spot; first antemedial line fuscous, outcurved to vein 2, slightly incurved 
below it; second line less curved, and not so distinct; medial space narrow, paler, but broadened beyond cell; 
two black points on discocellular; postmedial line outbent to vein 4, then inbent along this vein to lower 
discocellular point below which the line is almost straight to inner margin ; outer line remote on costa, somewhat 
lunular and slightly oblique to vein 4 then deeply lunular to inner margin outwardly finely edged with whitish 
especially on costa; termen broadly lilacine from vein 4 to costa leaving a brown shade beyond the outer line. 
Hind wings brownish red; postmedial line fine, black, hardly visible; outer line indistinct, but thickening to 
black shades between veins 4 and 6 and below vein 2 to postmedial; a distinct white line outwardly runs along 
this last black shade and is upbent to inner margin at postmedial line. Forewings below dull purplish, the 
termen shaded with red, the inner margin pale reddish. Hindwings below dark brownish red; a black line on 
discocellular; postmedial fuscous surmounted by white scaling on a dark streak below vein 2; postmedial line 
fuscous, with some white scaling between veins 4 and 6, and a distinct white line from vein 2 to inner margin; 
some white irrorations at anal angle. Expanse: 55 mm. Purula, Guatemala.

and abdomen above dark slate mottled with white hairs. Body below pale reddish brown. Fore wings dark 
slate colour, the veins, costa, and inner margin finely reddish brown; base of inner margin yellowish; a fine 
fuscous streak on discocellular followed by a greenish yellow shade between veins 4 and 6; the geminate ante- 
medial Hire hardly visible; a fine postmedial dark line outcurved around the yellow postdiscal shade, geminate, 
and hardly visible below vein 4; the outer portion of line reddish brown from vein 4 to costa edged on either 
side with greenish yellow; cilia purple brown, shaded with black toward apex. Hindwings slate colour, the 
veins, cell, and interspaces near cell between veins 2 and 4 pale reddish; a dark grey streak from base to termen 
below cell and vein 2; a dark red brown streak along inner margin with the cilia mottled black and white; 
cilia on termen black tipped with yellow. Hindwings below purple brown; a yellowish medial shade; a yellow 
streak below cell and vein 2; first outer line almost medial, dark, well defined, the second line fine and indistinct; 
a dark red brown shade at anal angle. Expanse: 43 mm. Purula, Guatemala.

Forewings reddish brown mottled with yellow scales, except on base; first antemedial line inwardly edged with 
yellow, the second line darker, ill defined; postmedial line darker outcurved on costa, wavy below vein 4; a 
subterminal yellow line, almost straight to vein 4; then slightly lunular to tornus its inner edge faintly dark 
shaded; termen shaded with grey from apex to just below vein 3. Hindwings pale reddish; the outer line 
fuscous, finely wavy, outwardly edged with yellow; a faint yellow shade at end of cell; a dark reddish brown 
shade at anal angle; hairs on inner margin yellow spotted with brown. Forewings below red, the apex broadly 
shaded with fuscous grey, crossed by a subapical whitish line, the inner margin yellow. Hindwings below red 
shaded and irrorated with yellow; postmedial line reddish; outer line fuscous, outwardly edged with yellow 
becoming white near inner margin and there crossing a dark shade from anal angle to postmedial line; a fine 
red streak on discocellular. Expanse: 28 mm. Jalapa, Mexico. 
Q. demerida Schs. (89 g). Male: Head rufous shading to white on vertex; shaft of antennae white, the 
pectinations brown streaked with white close to shaft. Collar dark rufous. Thorax pale rufous brown mottled

light ochre buff, with rufous irrorations; a white streak on costa at base, followed by antemedial and medial 
dark reddish brown streaks separated by white scaling, and a smaller dark spot post medially; lines very fine, 
darker, almost imperceptible, the antemedial geminate, slightly outcurved across cell, the postmedial geminate, 
wavily lunular; a fine dark streak across discocellular, cilia dark brown. Hindwing pale rufous, dark streaks
