Fore wings greyish fuscous, with a slight bluish tinge, speckled with a reduplicated line of darker spots along the basal half of the costal margin, and three or four spots on the margin beyond the middle; a quadrate chocolate-brown patch at the end of the cell is preceded by a paler reddish-brown elongate spot, and followed by a brownish-ochreous space extending to the apex ; a second elongate chocolate-brown patch on and above the outer half of the fold is also preceded by a shorter elongate reddish-brown spot, of which equal parts are on the upper and under side of the fold; cilia brownish ochreous, shaded with greyish fuscous. Hind wings brownish grey ; cilia slightly paler. Abdomen brownish grey. Legs greyish cinereous, tarsal joints faintly pale-spotted. Exp. al. 22 millim. Hab. West Indies-St. Vincent (windward side, 1 specimen, Smith). Type, J._ This species has the same neuration as Clemens' genus Amydria, all the veins in both fore and hind wiugs being separate: the apical joint of the palpi is not tufted as in Pseudanophora, Wlsm., nor recurved as in Anaphora, Clem.; it is, however, more erect than in effrenatella, Clem., the type of Amydria, and appears to form a connecting-link between this genus and Pseudanaphora.
