L. cillutincariensis sp.n. (178 f) at first sight resembles Aegerina vignae Busch., but it has normally cillutinca- 
developed palpi and a different neuration, owing to which it is placed to Leptaegeria. Antennae, head, palpi 
and thorax black, a silvery white spot before the eyes. Thoracal marking not discernible. Abdomen black, 
the 2nd to 6th segments finely margined with light yellow behind, closing together on the ventrum, where the 
2nd and 4th become broader. Anal tuft black. Legs blackish brown, tarsi lighter. Forewing transparent, 
margins light brown, veins blackish brown, a dark semihyaline apical shadow, the narrow discal vein bordered 
outwardly with reddish orange. Hindwing transparent, veins and margins, as well as the fringes of all the wings
