line in front ; the metatarsi show no traces of median banding ; 
there is no trace of the small black spot at the base of the 
third long vein, and the wing scales are shorter and rather 
broader, and the specimens are about half the size of Jamaicensis. 
The apical bands on the abdomen are as in the former species, 
but are much whiter. 
The wing is as follows : Fork-cells short, the first sub-marginal 
a little longer and narrower than the second posterior ; base of 
the first sub-marginal cell about level with the base of the second 
posterior cell ; stem of the first sub-marginal cell a little more than 
half the length of the cell; stem of the second posterior nearly 
two-thirds the length of the cell: posterior cross-vein about its 
own length behind the mid cross-vein ; elongate lateral scales on 
the apex of the first, the third, fourth, and fifth veins; broad 
ones elsewhere (Plate X1.). 
Habitat.—Antigua (Forrest) ; and Jamaica (Grabham). 
Time of capture.—August (Forrest) ; March (Grabham). 
Observations.— Described from a series sent by Mr. Forrest. 
The rather short and broad wing scales on the branches of the 
second fork-cell and its stem are shown in Plate XI.

- (Plate XIV.) 
Thorax ornamented with silvery-grey and reddish-brown

bands. Wings mottled with dark and pale scales. 
?. Head deep brown, with narrow-curved grey scales in the 
middle, flat black and white ones at the sides, the former forming 
a lateral spot, numerous thin black upright forked scales ; clypeus

long, densely scaled with brown scales at the base and white at 
the apex; antennae brown, three basal joints testaceous, the

boscis deep ochraceous, the apex black, and also the base.
