species: mirabilis Rothschild.
In facies this species resembles those of Eurypteryx. The white discal
spot is prominent, and there are distinct pale patches subapically and
centrally on the costa, and antemedially. The palps are much larger. The
genitalia are of typical macroglossine form.
Dupont & Roepke (1941) refer to the larva briefly, as discussed in the
specific account.
