Het. x. p. 277 (1856). 84. HADENA ABIDA, Felder, Reise der Nov. Lep. iv. pl. 109. fig- 7 (?). The example from Jamaica has the apices of the primaries rather more rounded and the pattern less strongly indicated than in Felder's figure ; still it is so like it that it would be unsafe to regard it as a distinct species. 85. ELOUSA ALBICANS, Walker, Lep. Het. xiii. p. 1118 (1857). This genus is nearly allied to Erastria ; the same species is described subsequently by Walker under the name of Erastria includens. 86.

Primaries pale brown mottled with black; a broad central band (the internal third of which is black and the remainder of the ground-colour), limited internally by a black line, and externally by an angulated and slightly irregular white line; a black line across the base, terminating on interno-median area in a triangular black patch; several black costal dashes and an oblique black line from the costa across the central band; a subcostal greyish lunule partly bordered by pearly scales beyond the central band; a very irregular dentate-sinuate whity-brown discal stripe with dark borders ; a sub-marginal series of black bracket-like markings separated by white dots upon the veins ; fringe spotted with dark brown: secondaries reddish brown, darker towards the outer border; a black sinuated marginal line interrupted on the veins by white dots; fringe pale brown, bordered and intersected by parallel dusky lunules: body pale brown speckled with black; collar with an ill-defined central black line, the border pearly; a few pearly whitish scales scattered over the thorax; abdomen with three very prominent dark brown dorsal tufts or masses of scales. Primaries below pale olive-brown slightly sericeous ; a black costal spot before the middle, and a second smaller one beyond the middle ; the remainder of the costa alternately brown and white; disk darker than the rest of the wing, crossed by a nearly straight dusky line, and limited externally by a very irregular dentate-sinuate line ; a sinuated black marginal line, interrupted by white dots upon the veins; fringe with red-brown |
