Recently in checking material in the genus Laphrin apparently two species were found under the name uvltur Osten Sacken. Marston Bates kindly examined the types of uvltur in the Museum of Comparative Zoology and, on verifying my observations, sent part of their material for study. Two of Osten Sacken's specimens ( ♂ ♀ ) are uvltur and the third speciimen is herein described as new, and notes on several other closely related species are given.
