Show 98 LORD WALSINGHAM O N [Jan. 19, fuscous with a slight purplish tinge. Fore wings greyish fuscous with a slight purplish tinge ; a very faint indication of a dark spot at the end of the cell; cilia the same. Exp. al. 23-25 mm. Hind icings and cilia greyish brown. Abdomen greyish brown. Legs greyish, spurs and tarsi slightly paler. Tgpe, 3 2 Mus. Wlsm. Hab. West Indies-GRENADA (Balthazar, 250 ft., windward side, 1 IV.-4 V.; Mount Gay Estate, 300 ft., leeward side, 25 VIII.-10 IX.-H. H. Smith). Seven specimens. This species differs from audax, Wlsm., in the absence of a distinct humeral angle on the costa at the base of the fore wdngs. This seems to be also absent in the female of audax, and it is possible that this may turn out to be a characteristic of the females of both species, or that the single female of audax has been wrongly identified, but I have not sufficient material to decide this point. 32.
