INTRODUCTION.

Tuis treatise on the Tineina of Central America, although it bears my name, is

the combined work of three specialists, of whom the other two have assuredly

borne a greater burden of critical labour than myself. Had it not been for the

conscientious zeal and ability with which they have applied themselves to the task

of coordinating the structural characters on which the classification here adopted

has been based, the prospect of imparting full scientific value to this part of the

‘Biologia’ would have been remote. In thanking Mr. August Busck for the

invaluable assistance he has rendered, J must not omit also my acknowledgments to

Dr. O. Howard, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology, U.S. Department of Agriculture,

Washington, who was good enough to grant the necessary permission and to spare his

services for some months for this purpose. I regard this as another proof of that

open-minded liberality which I have personally found to be an almost invariable

attribute of American men of Science.

I can only hope that the study of much accumulated material to which he

could not have access in the United States, and especially the examination of the

types of many important genera in my collections, may have afforded Mr. Busck

some slight return for his labour and for having given me the advantage of that

very special knowledge of the North American fauna which he alone could bring to

bear upon my task. I had written the majority of the descriptions of species

several years ago, many of them during absences from home without access to books

or collections ; consequently but few had been placed with certainty in their proper

genera until my assistant, Mr. J. Hartley Durrant, was able to examine and arrange

them. When the more serious work was commenced, it became at once apparent that

the lines of classification hitherto adopted, whether in Europe or America, were too

involved and incomplete to be safely relied upon in dealing with a fauna practically

unknown in relation to this special group of the Lepidoptera, and it was decided to

correlate the various systems and to revise the limits of hitherto-accepted family-

divisions, continuing the work already done for me by Mr. Durrant in connection with

vl INTRODUCTION.

a study of the Microlepidoptera of Tenerife published in the ‘ Proceedings of the

Zoological Society of London’ [1907 911-1028 Pl. 51-3 (1908) ].

With this object the voluminous publications of Mr. Edward Meyrick on Australian

as well as on European and Asiatic Zineina were again carefully consulted. My

colleagues and myself have derived the utmost assistance now as in the past from his

careful and systematic work. Indeed, whatever criticism may be brought to bear on its

details, that work has undoubtedly supplied the guiding principles on which improve-

ments in classification have been and may be arrived at in proportion to the amount of

new material becoming from time to time available for further study. Mr. Busck and

Mr. Durrant have been jointly engaged in a minute examination of a very large

number of the types of species in my collections from all parts of the world, in making

microscopic slides, and tabulating the numerous genera previously known, as well as

those now first described, in a manmer which it is hoped may be found to provide a

sufficiently workable key to their structure and development. Mr. Busck has also

supplied further material acquired since his return to America. .

In any case the value of co-operation in such work must necessarily be great.

No uncertainty need exist in future as to what is the precise meaning of the terms used

by leading authors on either side of the Atlantic; there cannot fail to be increased

confidence between them in the knowledge that both are working on similar lines—

their descriptions must be rendered in every way more intelligible to each other and,

we may hope, more precise.

There has long been a growing conviction that, for generic purposes at least,

secondary sexual characters so mach in repute with the older writers could not be

relied upon, and in this treatise these have been discarded in favour of distinctions

found in both sexes. It is perhaps the first occasion on which this principle has been

consistently applied to the classification of the Tineina as a whole. Its adoption has

necessarily involved the suppression of a very large number of generic subdivisions,

and of the names by which they have been distinguished. ‘his will at first be

regarded as a very radical and perhaps presumptuous reform, especially .as here

exemplified in the Stenomidae, Acrolophidae, Tortricidae, etc., but, when the modifi-

cations of structure on which genera have hitherto been based in these and other

families are carefully examined in relation to the vast number of forms in a great

continental fauna, they are found to blend one into another by such infinitesimal

gradations as to impede rather than to assist a conscientious worker. The genus

Felderia, resting upon the strongly bipectinate antennae of the male, and some of

Mr. Meyrick’s genera of Oecophoridae, founded upon differences in the length of the

antennal ciliations, are cases in point. ‘These characters are modified by such

INTRODUCTION. vil

innumerable and minute variations as to be quite unreliable for the purpose of logical

differentiation.

In the Acrolophidae again, as already pointed out (vide pp. 378-80), the position

and length of the male palpi, which had been greatly relied upon, vary by the most

gradual and perplexing stages, so that it may well be said in words which I extract

from a letter in English long since received from the late Professor Zeller “the

passages from which to it” form a chain of evidence too strong to be broken down in

any attempt to separate extreme forms.

In the Tortricidae the costal fold, although a purely sexual character, was a

convenient mark of recognition frequently regarded as of generic value ; but this occurs

sporadically among many species which, although undoubtedly distinct, present no

other structural peculiarities to justify their inclusion in different genera—notwith-

standing the fact that this character is apparently consistent in whichever species may

possess it.

Central American representatives of the Zineina are to be found in at. least

22 families, of which the Gelechiadae with 228 species, and the Stenomidae with 144,

afford more abundant examples than others. Among these the Gelechiadae may be

said to extend in approximately equal numbers to north and south, although the

southern or South American forms are for the most part distinguished from those of

the United States and Canada by their affinities to such genera as Strodisia Clms.,

Anacampsis Crt., and Dichomeris Hb., the first of these unrepresented in Europe,

whereas the northern forms are more obviously allied to those of the European fauna.

The Stenomidae, again, accompany the Gelechiadae in both directions, but tend strongly

to represent the southern rather than the northern fauna, and the same may be said

of the Hyponomeutidae ; whereas the Vemophoridae, well represented in more northern

latitudes, vanish entirely to the south of Panama, reappearing in certain limited forms

to the far south of the continent. The Acrolophidae, strictly confined to the two

American continents and to the West Indian Islands, are perhaps pre-eminently

tropical, but with considerable southern and northern extension—this very distinctly

recognisable family has afforded strong evidence in favour of discarding secondary

sexual characters when determining the limitation of genera. The Acrolophidce, after

an immense amount of careful work involving the examination of many hundreds of

specimens, are found to consist practically of one large genus, represented by many

species, in some of which the neuration is so variable as to forbid the establishment

of genera upon the numbers, position, or furcation of veins in the radial or median

series of the forewings. The species can, however, be distinguished inter se by the

length and position of the labial palpi, by the structure of the antennae, and by the

Vii ’ INTRODUCTION.

form of the genitalia; but all these are secondary sexual characters, and no single

character, or combination of characters, is found sufficiently constant throughout any

assemblage of species to justify the establishment of a recognisable genus, with the

exception of Apoclisis, proposed on account of the peculiarity of the cubital veins of

the forewings, and Urbara Wkr., which possesses the same cubital neuration, but is

in other respects even more distinct from the typical forms. Greater or less degrees

of structural difference are accompanied with remarkable and confusing similarity of

markings and general appearance. In the case of the genitalia, the divergences .

might even convey an impression that they: have been evolved to prohibit inter-—

breeding in instances where, without such precautions, confusion would be expected

to occur. Some of these conclusions were not only surprising, but disappointing to a

small committee decidedly predisposed to the retention and establishment of ‘separate

genera, and we were constrained to admit that if any one of our number, at a

distance from the others, had ventured upon such a bold course of amalgamation

as has been finally adopted, he might well have been in danger of being regarded

by the other two as an entomological crank, whose destructive work served only

to stimulate their own preferably constructive tendencies. If any safety is to be

found in numbers, we may claim at least the advantage of unanimity, until good

evidence can be produced to upset our conclusions, and Mr. Meyrick’s latest papers

give us good ground for claiming a general concurrence on his part.

It was inevitable that in the course of this study much attention had to be given to

questions of nomenclature, and, being responsible for the code known as the ‘ Merton

Rules,’ Mr. Durrant and myself were anxious to ascertain on what grounds the

members of a recent Zoological Congress had adopted what seemed to be a somewhat

arbitrary system of selecting and maintaining Generic names by summary fixation of

types without due regard for previous work done by critical authors. The rule that

the Type of a genus cannot be regarded as fixed until it has been actually and definitely

specified is now being largely adopted in America and perhaps elsewhere, but it is by |

no means clear that those who accept this code were made fully acquainted with the

reasonable objections to such a course.

The main object of any Rules should surely be to secure priority and uniformity:

priority not only for names, but for all published results of critical study; uniformity

not by mere arbitrary decision, but by the application of unvarying principles which,

consistently followed, could only lead to one definite result in each case—a_ result

which, while securing priority in the fullest degree, should preserve for each worker

the credit of his work until it could be proved to be incorrect.

The rock on which the greatest split seems to have occurred has been the adoption

INTRODUCTION. . ix

of Hiibner’s genera by Stephens in 1834-5. Stephens, admittedly dealing with a local

fauna—that of Great Britain,—interpreted many of Hiibner’s genera by the light of

such knowledge as he possessed, and it has been contended that he did not claim to

be revising the ‘ Verzeichniss’ when he adopted Hiibner’s generic names and applied

them to such British species as he recognized among Hiibner’s types; but, as in

the case of other critical workers, it can be shown that Stephens was thoroughly

acquainted with his subject, and by no means acted in the dark when he selected

certain species to which he assigned Hiibner’s generic names. He specially stated

that some of Hiibner’s genera required revision, and proceeded to apply his critical.

knowledge to the task—in short, he did at least attempt to revise Hiibner’s work so far

as the knowledge of the day permitted it and so far as such revision was required for

the work in hand. In any case, but largely for this reason, we contend that Stephens’s

limitations should be respected by subsequent authors, and this would probably be

conceded after a careful study of his writings. We may perhaps go so far as to admit

that an arbitrary rule is desirable for the future, but we contend that it should not be,

and cannot be justly or advisedly, retrospective. For example, I consider that I should

have had no right to cite pomonella as the type of Cydia Hitbner (Pr. Z. Soc, Lond.

1897) if any other author had previously used Cydia with such limitations as had the

effect of excluding that species; but Stephens having included pomonella among

the three species of Carpocapsa, which he regarded as typical of ( ydia, it was

obviously so selected by him and the genus was thus restricted to the type *.

| For similar reasons Meyrick cannot, in my opinion, resuscitate Mompha Hiibner for

conturbatella after Stephens had disregarded that species in his modified conception

of Hibner’s genus. No arbitrary rules can rightly be made retrospective to the

detriment of past study. Without such modification the arbitrary fixation of types

strikes a death-blow at the whole system of priority, and the work of generations of

critical authors is placed at the mercy of any future writer who may perhaps be

comparatively unacquainted with the subject on which he writes.

Is it too much to hope that by consistently advocating this view, and in each case

giving reasons for selecting certain types of the older genera in cases where this has

not already been done, we may in the end convince those representatives of inter-

national opinion to whom the Rules of Nomenclature may next be referred that they

‘would do well to lay down the principle that the arbitrary fixation of types can have

no retrospective effect to the detriment of previous critical study, but can only be

taken as applying to the present and to the future 2

x INTRODUCTION.

Mr. Busck has generously allowed me to describe and include in our work a number

of new species, collected by himself, Mr. F. Knab, and others in the Panama Canal

Zone and in Mexico, which were not represented in Dr. Godman’s collections, and

these have afforded strong evidence that only the fringe of the subject has as yet been

touched, and that the fauna of those regions will prove to be exceptionally rich in

species and genera.

I am especially indebted to my friend Mr. W. Schaus for some interesting con-

tributions to the collection kindly given me many years ago, and the results of his

energy are further illustrated in the examples submitted by Mr. Busck from the

National Museum at Washington, to which he has so generously contributed.

Dr. Godman’s collectors were instructed to obtain insects of all orders, and had

not the opportunity to devote special attention to the Tineina; consequently a

large proportion of our material has consisted of unique specimens, which is greatly.

to be regretted. In the case of these small and often inconspicuous insects, it is

specially important that a good series of each species should be secured to facilitate

comparison of markings and structure—the latter almost impossible to certify without

denudation under the microscope, for which it has sometimes been necessary to sacrifice

the half of even a unique example.

In the course of our work one point has been made remarkably clear and

indisputable. It has been shown by very numerous instances that in the majority of—

although, of course, not in all—previous attempts to describe and even to illustrate

differences of neuration, whether for generic or special determinations, reliance has

been placed on the system of moistening the wings with benzine and examining them

with ordinary pocket-lenses of varying power, a system which for some of the main

characters is frequently useful and sufficient. This has, however, proved to be the

source of innumerable errors, easily detected when the wings are thoroughly denuded

and placed under the microscope. I must plead guilty to several errors in the past

from this cause, and the same has affected the work of others upon whose descriptions

and drawings I have too frequently relied. In the United States this has long been

recognised. Dr. Brackenridge Clemens (1860, etc.) and other more recent specialists,

notably Mr. Busck, have invariably made microscopic slides where any doubt could

exist. In this manner only can the internal veins of the cell, or the different degrees

of anastomosis and coincidence in the supporting wing-structure, be intelligibly studied.

Such a method can alone supply the necessary evidence for understanding the processes

by which gradual changes of development or deterioration have been brought about,

and this is becoming more than ever essential to correct study.

INTRODUCTION. xi

' It was not originally my intention to transfer my collections and library to the

National Museum until this work should have been completed; but the delay that

has occurred in the elaboration of references to previous literature, and in the repro-

duction of Mr. Frohawk’s excellent figures by lithography at Leiden, combined with

other circumstances, rendered it impossible to postpone their departure, and the

transference has not accelerated publication. ‘The importance of securing the majority

of the types, as such, for our National Museum has not been overlooked, and I should

have been better satisfied if this object could have been achieved at an earlier date.

The publication of the monograph of the Hawaiian “ Micros,” which was in hand

when I first began to prepare a paper for the ‘ Biologia,’ somewhat interfered with its

earlier stages, but the great delay which has occurred in bringing this treatise to

a successful conclusion has been for the most part due to the earnest desire of

Mr. Durrant to carry it beyond its original scope and purpose, and to give it special

value for the future guidance of all students of the Microlepidoptera. With this aim

in view, he has undertaken far-reaching researches in the literature of the subject.

He has looked up as far as possible every reference, not only to the species under

consideration, but to the genera in which they have been placed by various authors,

tracing the history of each genus, and, where amalgamation has become necessary, the

type of each generic name is stated in chronological order, establishing priority which

may be confidently accepted as such, unless an error can be subsequently proved.

It is perhaps too much to hope that no such errors may henceforth be found, but

there has been at least no attempt to suppress information, and the references given

throughout should be clearly sufficient to indicate the lines on which further research

may safely proceed. During the time that the Collections remained in my possession,

when I was able to direct and examine the progress of the necessary comparisons and

tabulation of genera and species, it was apparent that this work could not be done

without much sacrifice of time and labour devoted to literary research, and the delay

involved was even then a source of considerable annoyance and disappointment, not

only to the Author and Projector of the ‘ Biologia’ but to myself. I had written

a large proportion of the descriptions of new species so long ago as 1895, soon after

Dr. Godman’s material was placed in my hands, and at that time I had every hope

that a paper on the same lines as others in his great publication might have been

completed within a few years at least. From that time onward not only has much

additional material been added to the Collection, but much has been published from

time to time affecting the questions of classification and nomenclature, as well as

adding many species to the numbers recorded from the region included in the scope

of the investigation.

Since April 1910, when my Collections (including the Godman and Salvin material)

and Library were presented to the National Museum, | have been unable to exercise

xil INTRODUCTION.

any real superintendence over the literary work undertaken by my assistant, and

beyond the mere description of a few newly acquired or possibly overlooked species,

the task has been left entirely in Mr. Durrant’s hands, and has been prolonged very

far beyond my expectation as well as beyond his own. I greatly regret it has

delayed the completion of the ‘Biologia’ so earnestly desired by Dr. Godman, but

I hope that the thoroughness of the work done and the importance of the advance

made in the general study of this interesting branch of entomology may afford some

consolation and compensation for the patience with which it has been awaited.

1. Embola xanthocephala, sp. n.

Antennae bronzy fuscous, apex white. Palpi short, slender, dependent; ochreous. Head orange-yellow.

Thorax dark fuscous, with a bronzy sheen, especially on the tegulae. Forewinys rich golden-orange, with

shining, bronzy, lilac metallic spots, four along the costa, three along the dorsum, each followed by an

inverted, similarly metallic, length-streak from before the apex ; the first three costal spots, of which the

second projects rather further over the surface of the cell than the other two, are set in a dark purplish

fuscous shade-band, reaching to beyond the middle, and rather widened outward from its narrow origin

at the base of the costa; the fourth costal spot, which is preceded and followed by golden orange, is very

narrowly margined by purplish fuscous, as is also the short, inverted, metallic streak beyond it, the same

dark colour spreading around the apex and enclosing the rather longer inverted streak pointing inward

from the termen above the tornus, where it separates it from the erect antetornal metallic spot on the

dorsum, which points to the space between the third and fourth costal; a narrow purplish fuscous streak

from the base also connects the first and second dorsal spots to each other, but not to the third, the

second of these being low and flattened ; cilia smoky fuscous. Hwp. al. 95 mm. Hindwings dark

This species, which is closely allied to abnormalis Wlsm. (Hayti), differs in the

varied colour of the metallic markings, and in the presence of a subterminal spot

before the apex.

2. Cosmopteryx ochleria, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 2.)

Antennae brownish fuscous, with a slender white line along the upper side; the terminal four joints white ;

the next five fuscous, then one fuscous between two white. Palpi white, with a fuscous line along

either side. Head and Thorax brownish fuscous, with slender white lateral lines. Forewings brownish

fuscous, with a dull ochreous median band, obliquely margined with pale golden metallic on either side,

margin slanting inward, broken above its middle, and with a white spot on the costa at its upper edge ;

a slender silvery white entire streak through the dark brownish fuscous terminal area and cilia to the

apex; the three white streaklets on the basal area are as usual, the upper one bent, the second very

short, not extending beyond the upper, the third commencing parallel with the second, but exceeding it

in length. Hap.al.35 mm. Hindwings and cilia brownish grey. Abdomen brownish. Legs brownish,

This species differs from ¢urbidella Rbl. in the longer white apical streak, in the

broader ochreous fascia, and in the greater length of the lower three streaklets on the

basal area.

3. Cosmopteryx astrapias, sp.n. (Tab. I. fig. 3.)

Antennae dark bronzy brown, with a line of white spots along the upper side, some near the base becoming

confluent and continuous with a streak along the basal joint; four or five of the terminal joints are

white, and these are preceded by a band of five brown joints, following two other white ones. Palpi

silvery, shaded with fuscous along their uter sides and before the extreme apex which is white. Head

bronzy brown; face steel-white. Thorax dark bronzy brown, without lines. Forewings dark bronzy

brown, a yellow fascia commencing at the middle of the wing, of which the inner edge is almost straight,

margined by confluent pale golden metallic spots, against the upper one of which is a black dot; at the

outer edge of the fascia are two similar pale golden metallic spots, perpendicularly placed, one above the

other, and of about equal size, the yellow edge of the fascia projecting between them, but not reaching

beyond them, a slender silvery streak running to the apex from the yellow projection; there is no

conspicuous white streak in the cilia above the outer golden costal spot, but two or three white hair-

scales are visible; on the dark basal half of the wing the usual silvery strigulae are arranged as follows,

one from the base below the costa, slightly depressed at its outer end, and terminating below the com-

mencement of a similar, but much shorter, subcostal streak, running nearly to the metallic edge of the

fascia ; from about the base of the fold another slender streak reaches a little further than the one

above it, and below the fold is a shorter streak extending even further than the last, but not produced

toward the base; cilia bronzy brownish. Hap. al. 8 mm. Hindwings and cilia bronzy brownish,

slightly paler than the forewings. Abdomen shining, bronzy brown. Legs brownish fuscous, with white

spots above the bases of the partly white spurs; hind tarsi white.

4. Cosmopteryx xanthura, sp. n.

Antennae whitish beneath, barred with black above, the bars connected by a slender black line to two-thirds ;

broadly banded with white at two-thirds, then again equally widely ‘banded with black, the three or

four terminal joints again white. Palpi very slender, terminal joint twice median ; white, with slender

length-lines on either side. Head brownish fuscous, iridescent on the crown; face shining, yellowish

white. Thorax dark brownish fuscous, a slender steely metallic line dividing it posteriorly. Forewings

dark brownish fuscous to their middle, a slender shining steel-grey line along the costa from the base,

with three similar shorter lines below it, removed from the base; at about the wing-middle are two

spots of pale golden raised scales, almost connected and forming an outwardly oblique fascia from costa

to dorsum, there is a black dot on the outer edge of the costal spot; these spots encroach upon a broad

bright ochreous yellow band, which sends a slender curved streak of the same colour to the apex and

through the apical cilia, bounded on either side by dark brownish fuscous, but more widely and con-

spicuously above than heneath ; before the brown colouring is another pair of raised golden spots, placed

obliquely in reverse direction from the previous pair, a few light ochreous scales succeeding the upper

one in the costal cilia ; cilia shining, brownish grey. yp. al. 8-85 mm. Hindwings blue-grey at the

base, becoming brownish grey toward the apex; cilia brownish grey. Abdomen brownish fuscous,

illuminated at the side with steel-grey ; underside silvery white. Legs brownish fuscous, with silvery

5. Cosmopteryx diaphora, sp. n.

Antennae brown above, whitish beneath, with about four pale straw terminal joints, these preceded by three

brown joints, after one brown, between two pale straw. Palpi pale straw, with a slender fuscous line

along either side. Head and Thorax brownish fuscous, with a slender white central streak, but no

lateral streaks. Forewings brownish fuscous as far as the middle, thence broadly banded with pale

straw-yellow, the inuer edge of the band running obliquely outward from costa to dorsum, margined by

two golden metallic spots, one below the costa accompanied by a black dot, the other beyond it resting

on the dorsum; scarcely beyond the middle of the band are two similar, but opposite, pale golden

metallic spots, one at the costa, with a few scales running outward from it through the cilia, the other

on the dorsum; on the dark basal half of the wing the usual silvery white strigulae are present, the first

slightly bent downward at its apex, the second and third parallel to each other, but not quite reaching

the pale band, the lower one being rather more than half the length of the median; beyond the yellow

band the only repetition of the brownish fuscous colour is found in a rather broad apical streak, bounded

on its lower edge by a silvery white line running with it to the extreme apex of the cilia; the costal

cilia above it are tipped with yellowish, those below the silver line also yellowish, shading to brownish

grev along the dorsum. Exp. al. 75-85 mm. Hindwings pale grey; cilia brownish grey. Abdomen

blackish, with a large pale fawn-ochreous dorsal patch crossing the fold, and attenuated at its outer and

upper extremity in a ridge of raised scales of the same colour, reaching nearly to the middle of the costa,

a little beyond which, on the dorsum, is a smaller patch of which the outer half is dark fuscous; the

dark space beyond these is somewhat broken by pale fawn-vchreous, of which there is a more distinct

band crossing the wing before the apical area, and containing a few raised scales, mixed with fuscous in

its lower half ; the terminal area is wholly bronzy blackish, with a few raised scales along the base of

The Zoological Record (1907 Ind. Gn. 13) wrongly attributes this genus to Engel,

colour; Thorax the same, but with a stronger reddish tinge, the tegulae blackish. Forewzngs blackish,

the dorsum rich rosy reddish, this colour diffused upward along the termen and over the terminal cilia

through which runs a somewhat obscurely reduplicated dark shade-line ; terminal cilia blackish, preceded

by three small rosy reddish costal spots. Ewp. al. 12 mm. Hindwings dark grey; cilia brownish

cinereous. Abdomen brownish cinereous. Legs brownish cinereous, broadly banded with fuscous

externally on each joint.

Type 3 (65760) Mus, Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.). [PT (65762) US. Nat. Mus.]

Hab. Mexico: Guerrero: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII-IX. (4. H. Smith). Three

specimens.

The rosy cream of the head, thorax, and dorsum, contrasted with the blackish

forewings, renders this species somewhat conspicuous.

2. Aristotelia howardi, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 21.)

Antennae blackish, with a series of elongate white spots along the upper side; basal joint reddish ochreous.

Palpi (broken, the basal joint indicating that they were pale ochreous, or whitish, on their inner sides,

and banded, or shaded, with brown, or blackish, externally). Head rosy ochreous. Thorax mottled with

reddish brown and ochreous, with a grey median patch. Forewings milk-white, tinged with rosy pink

along the costa, except at the base and along the dorsum beyond the middle; at the base is a tawny-red

patch, wider on the dorsum than on the costa, narrowly darkened to black along its oblique outer

margin; after an oblique fascia of the white ground-colour, which is produced outward along the dorsum,

where it is tinged with bright ochreous, a rather oblique, mixed black and reddish grey streak descends

from the costa at one-fourth, crossing the cell, and bent outward and upward at its lower extremity

enclosing above it a patch of the ground-colour profusely stippled with pale rosy grey, bounded on its

outer side by a darker, tawny reddish grey quadrangular costal spot, extending downward to an almost

circular ochreous spot at the end of the cell ; the terminal area is thickly sprinkled with rust-brown, and

contains some black spots, notably two on the costa before the apex, in strong contrast to the rosy

pink by which they are separated and partially surrounded ; cilia whitish cinereous, with three pale

greyish wavy shade-lines running through them; underside fuscous, with the middle of the costa

narrowly touched with white, a rosy white streak running through the costal cilia. Hap. al. 13°5 mm.

Hindwings shining, steel-grey, with a bright rosy iridescence ; cilia pale brownish cinereous. Abdomen

Type 3 (5841 Wlsm. Det. 1908) US. Nat. Mus.

Hab. Mexico: sonora: San José de Guaymas, 10. 1V. (Dr. LZ. O. Howard). Unique.

A fine species of the group of roseosuffusella Clms., noticeable through the pure

milk-white ground-colour, tinged in places with rosy pink and bright ochreous, and

the sharply defined, entirely dark, basal patch, which distinguishes it from sqguamigera

Wlsm., to which it is perhaps most nearly allied.

3. Aristotelia squamigera, sp. n.

Antennae fuscous, with whitish annulations, more distinct on the anterior surface.

recurved, terminal joint scarcely longer than the median, acuminate; rosy whitish, sprinkled with

brownish fuscous, an ill-defined band of the darker colour at the base and another before the apex of the

median joint; also two ill-defined bands before and beyond the middle of the terminal joint. Head and

Thorax whitish grey, sprinkled with brownish fuscous; the latter with a few fawn-ochreous scales at the

sides and behind. Forewings rosy white, profusely sprinkled with brownish fuscous ; an olivaceous brown

patch at the base, much wider on the dorsum than on the costa, its outer edge oblique and somewhat

clearly defined, its surface sprinkled, especially towards the base, with whitish scales; at about one-

third a strong olivaceous brown costal patch, dilated obliquely outward and downward to the fold, is

terminated at its outer extremity by a blackish spot; beyond the middle a triangular olive-brown costal

patch is terminated by a line of blackish scales truncating its apex on the cell, where it is joined by a

fawn-ochreous patch extending to the dorsum, but sprinkled about the end of the fold with olive-brown

scaling ; a short blackish dash cuts the pale fascia beyond the end of the cell, the terminal area being

sprinkled with olive-brown leading up to some blackish marginal spots at the base of the greyish ochreous

cilia through which run two curved shade-lines enclosing the white apex; there is a small brownish

ochreous streak below the fold adjoining the lower edge of the second dark patch; underside somewhat

ochreous, profusely sprinkled along the middle with greyish fuscous scaling, not especially noticeable at

the base. Exp, al. 10-12 mm. Hindwings rather shining brassy grey, the dorsal half profusely dusted

with elongate greyish fuscous scales ; cilia ochreous, tinged with grey, very long on the costa in the 33

underside less ochreous than the forewings, and more profusely scaled with greyish fuscous beyond the

base throughout. Abdomen greyish ochreous, much sprinkled with brownish fuscous ; with whitish lines

along the margins of the segments beneath. Legs whitish, with strong fuscous sealing in transverse bands

across the tibiae, and on the outer sides of the tarsi. .

Type $ (65763) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.). [PI'T. (65765, 65770) US. Nat. Mus.]

Hab, Mexico: @uERRERO: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII-IX. (i. HH. Smith). Seven

specimens.

Palpi moderately smooth,

Closely allied to roseosuffusella Clms., and agreeing fairly in the position of the

white costal marks, which in both species extend with more or less suffusion across the

wings, but sguamigera lacks the pale fawn colouring on the dorsum, and the strone

rosy tint which usually accompanies this; moreover, the sprinkling of dark scales, on

the otherwise pale underside of both wings, is not found in Clemens’ Species, and the

very long costal cilia, commencing at the base of the hindwings, is very characteristic.

4, Aristotelia hieroglyphica, sp. n.

Antennae minutely serrate towards the apex; brown, with white annulations, the basal joint with a white

ring round its apex. Palpi dull brownish white, the median joint with two fawn-brown bars externally ;

the terminal, which is longer than the median and very slender, sprinkled and annulate with darker

brown. Head fawn-brown, mixed with greyish fuscous; the Thorax darker brown, mixed with pale

cinereous. Forewings dark fawn-brown, paler along the dorsal half, with a pale patch at the lower angle

of the cell; a whitish cinereous fascia leaves the costa at about one-sixth, running obliquely outward to

the fold, but not traceable below it—this fascia is somewhat widened, showing a tendency to reduplication

by brown scales along its middle ; parallel with this is a short oblique costal streak before the middle,

and beyond the middle is another, converging at its apex with a similar inverted costal streak from

before the end of the wing, from the inner edge of the first a narrow line of the same colour crosses the

fold inward, but: does not reach the dorsum ; between these markings a slight suffusion of blackish scales

extends from base to apex, and there are also some shining steel-grey scales about the ends of the second

and third costal streaks, and in a small separate patch above the tornus; cilia pale cinereous, with a

pinkish tinge, merging to pale greyish fuscous on the dorsum. Hap.al. 11mm. Hindwings and cilia

pale greyish fuscous, with a slight rosy tinge. Abdomen brownish cinereous. Legs whitish, with oblique

brown tibial and tarsal bands externally.

This differs from pyrodercia Wlsm. in having more abundant sprinkling of blackish

scales, and in the two black patches on the cell ; also in the silvery scaling being very

slight and inconspicuous, this, however, may depend somewhat on the condition of the

specimens. |

5. Aristotelia dasypoda, sp.n. (Tab. I. fig. 22.)

Antennae dark fuscous, spotted with white above. Palpi whitish, with two brownish bands around the

median joint, and a fuscous shade-band beyond the middle of the terminal, of which the tip is also

fuscous. Head brownish ochreous. Thorax ferruginous, with a steely grey sheen above, and a steel-

whitish transverse band posteriorly. Forewings ferruginous, with some black scaling, and three

outwardly oblique white streaks from the costa, all more or less mixed with shining steely scales; the

first, at about one-fifth, is reduplicated, margined on its inner side with black scales which become

concentrated in a spot resting on the fold, and reaches with its lustrous steely apex nearly to the dorsum

at one-third; the second, single, reaching to a blackish spot on the fold and produced again below it

in shining steel-grey to the dorsum beyond the middle; the third, from a little beyond the middle of

the costa, passes on the outer side of a black dot at the end of the cell, to which the steel-grey scaling

of the second streak extends, where it meets the apex of a fourth, similar, but inverted oblique white

streak, coming from the costal cilia ; beyond this again is some black scaling extending outward to the

apex; a small detached steely streak above the flexus, and a few steely scales above the tornus complete

the rather confused pattern ; cilia greyish ochreous, shaded with fuscous, some steely scales along their

base. Hap.al.ll1 mm. Hindwings and cilia rather pale greyish fuscous. Abdomen (missing). Legs

white, with three brownish fuscous bands on the hind tibiae and three on the tarsi; anterior pair some-

what similarly coloured, but with a thick-set projecting brush of fuscous scales on the underside of the

tibiae of the-d.

6. Aristotelia pyrodercia, sp. n. . 7 .

Antennae delicately annulated with black and white. Palpi yellowish white, the median joint twice

annulated with brassy brown; terminal joint longer than the median, with three blackish annulations,

widening in succession from the base. Head pale buff-brown. Thorax pale buff-brown, with a rather

shining steel-brown median streak. Forewings yellowish brown, crossed by oblique whitish streaks

mixed with shining steel-like metallic scales, some minute blackish scales intermixed along their

margins ; a slender steely line, commencing at the base of the costa, crosses the fold obliquely outward

to the dorsum, beyond it is a broader whitish costal streak, also crossing the fold obliquely outward,

but scarcely reaching the dorsum; a third steely streak, from the costa before the middle, tending

obliquely outward, is enlarged at the lower end of the cell and reverts to the middle of the dorsum, it

is preceded by a pale plical spot margined on its inner side by black scales ; beyond this, about the

middle of the costa, an oblique whitish streak tends outward to the end of the cell where it meets

a more conspicuous white streak inverted from the costal cilia, both mixed with pale steel and blackish

scales; beyond the last white costal streak the costal cilia are greyish fuscous, with two inverted

whitish streaklets at their base, a third shining white streak following the termen at the base of the

whitish cilia through which run two dark shade-lines terminating before the tornus where a yellowish

white line in the tornal cilia interrupts them ; near the base of this is a luminous steely spot, with some

minute black scales along the margin. vp. al.12 mm. Hindwings and cilia tawny greyish. Abdomen

brownish cinereous. Legs whitish, banded externally on the tibiae and tarsi with brownish fuscous.

This species differs from hieroglyphica Wlsm. in the more olivaceous brownish-

ochreous ground-colour which lacks the blackish shades, in the basal half especially,

and the silvery markings connected with the outer streaks are more conspicuous.

7. Aristotelia sarcodes,.sp.n. (Tab. I. fig. 23.)

Antennae black, with elongate white spots along the upper side; basal joint white, with a black line beneath

and a spot above. Palpi white, median joint -with two black bands not reaching the upper surface ;

terminal joint with four black bands of which the outer two only complete its circumference. Head

pale brownish, mixed with whitish scales. Thorax pale rust-brown, with some silvery median scales.

Forewings yellowish brown, or light rust-brown, with white and shining silvery costal and dorsal

streaks, more or less confluent on the wing-middle, and with two, noticeable, rosy flesh-coloured, short

length-streaks, one at the upper edge of the outer end of the cell, the other wider, beyond the end

of the cell; there is a rather oblique white costal streak, at one-fifth, with a few black scales along

its inner edge, its outer half touched with shining silvery ; this meets the apex of a short silvery dorsal

streak, at’ about one-fourth, and is followed by a second, shorter, silvery and white costal streak to

which there is no corresponding dorsal one ; a third, silvery and white costal streak, is scarcely beyond

the middle, and is interrupted by the first rosy flesh-coloured streak before joining a longer silvery

oblique streak from the middle of the dorsum; beyond this again are four short white costal streaks

before the apex, the first two sometimes confluent, and both tipped with silvery, the second rosy

flesh-coloured length-streak separating them from a long silvery dorsal streak arising obliquely outward

from near the tornus; there are also a few silvery scales on the termen below the outer white costal

streak which occupies the apex and apical cilia; terminal cilia whitish, touched with brown ‘on the

middle of the termen and at the tornus. Exp.al.10 mm. Hindwings dark slaty grey, with a strong

rosy iridescence; cilia brownish grey; ¢ with dull ochreous subcostal hair-pencil. Abdomen grey.

Nearest to Acompsia Hb. (=Brachycrossata Hnm. ; *Recurvaria Meyr.), but differing

in HW: 3-4 being connate, not stalked; also in the peculiar rounded apex of the

forewings. The genus reminds one of the Trichotaphe Clms. group of the genus

Dichomeris Hb., with which it agrees fairly well in the form of the palpi, but it is

at once distinguished by having FW: 2-3 separate, not stalked. The terminal joint of

the palpi is shorter than the median in vinitincta, but slightly longer in tridentella.

the median, its upper half pale ochreous. Head shining, cinereous. Thorax tawny greyish fuscous.

Forewings shining, tawny greyish fuscous, with a broad semicircular chocolate-brown dorsal patch

reaching from near the base to near the middle, its upper third crossing the fold; an elongate chocolate-

brown streak from the outer end of the cell nearly reaching the termen below the apex ; the apex itself

is rounded, but the form of the tawny brownish cilia above it gives the depressed costa a strongly

angulate appearance before it; a pale cinereous line runs around the base of the tawny greyish

terminal cilia. Hap. al.16 mm. Hindwings wider than the forewings ; bronzy brown; cilia greyish

dark brownish band across the front; silvery whitish beneath. Jorewings dark umber-brown, with

a leaden grey costal patch at the base reaching nearly to one-third, widened and produced downward at

its outer end, but scarcely touching the fold; joining it at the extreme base is a leaden grey band,

running along the dorsum below the fold to beyond the middle, where it is joined by a transverse fascia

starting narrowly on the costa, enclosing a dark brown spot on the cell and consisting above the middle

of shining silvery blue-grey scales, a narrower subapical fascia of the same colour, much zigzagged in its

forewings, and from both in having vein HW: 5 radial, instead of cubital.

Correlated with, and very similar to Perioristica Wlsm., which however differs in

having FW: 2-3 separate. The Central American species resembles Perioristica

chalcopera Wlsm. in the cilia of the forewings having a tendency to become falcate ;

this is not so noticeable in emblemella Clms.

1. Holophysis anoma, sp. n.

Antennaz leaden grey. Palpi silvery grey ; very slender, recurved, the terminal joint longer than the median,

reaching high above the vertex. Head dull leaden grey; face shining silvery. Thorac dull leaden

This species is very close to 5702 rhoifructella Clms., from some varieties of which

it may possibly be undistinguishable by the colour or markings of the wings, but so

far as I am at present aware the palpi of rhoifructella are smoother, less densely

clothed, and suffused at least to the apex of the median joint with the darker shading,

which is never abruptly cut off leaving the apex cleanly whitish, as in the Mexican

species here described.

19. Anacampsis metadupa, sp. n.

Antennae cinereous. Palpi very slender, rising high above the vertex, terminal joint longer than median ;

pale cinereous. Head and Thorax dull brownish cinereous. orewings with olivaceous greenish and

bronzy brownish reflections; a broad piumbeous band near the base, running obliquely outward from

dorsum to costa, is narrowly reduplicated beyond ; from the middle of the dorsum arises a similar

plumbeous band, which, attaining the costa obliquely before the cilia, is margined on its inner side by a

somewhat triangular brownish fuscous costal spot, and on its outer side by a dorsal shade of the same

colour; a triangular patch enclosing the apex and termen, with a dark line running through the

middle of the cinereous terminal cilia, is also dark brownish fuscous, and is margined on its inner side

by a pale cinereous line. Exp. al. 11-12 mm. Hindwings dark chocolate-brown ; cilia pale cinereous,

with a dark line running through them near their base, and a dark fuscous fan-like flexal tuft of scales.

Abdomen brownish fuscous, mixed with cinereous, a plumbeous band across the middle. Legs dark

fuscous, with three conspicuous whitish bands around the tibiae, and two on the tarsi.

Antennae dark stone-grey. Palpi with a slight brush on the median joint above; white. Head and Thorac

dark stone-grey; face white. orewings stone-grey to half their length, thence dark bronzy brown ;

on the basal half, in certain lights, a slight greenish iridescence is visible; on the outer half are several

snow-white streaks, one forming an oblique costal spot beyond the middle, a second small straight

triangular spot before the commencement of the costal cilia, and a third above the tornus, divided by a

dark line into two longitudinal streaks ; in addition to these is an oblique apical streak, reduplicated in

the apical cilia, a small length-streak below the outer end of the fold, and a shorter diverging streaklet

above it; cilia shining, pale aeneous, with a dark line along their base. Exp.al.9mm. Hindwings

The specimen figured Tab. II. fig. 2 was originally regarded as distinct from

suffectella Wkr., chiefly from the absence of any dark dusting on the orange ground-

colour, such as exists to a limited extent on Walker’s type, and more conspicuously

on another of my own (3 65711) which had been compared with it. A fair series of

suffectella has now been put together, and I am unable to regard the black dusting

(which, by the way, does not appear to have caught the eye of the artist) as more

than a varietal difference, although in some specimens it is quite conspicuous.

22. Anacampsis trochilea, sp. n.

Antennae greyish brown. Palpi whitish at the base, becoming greyish brown along the terminal joint.

Head brilliant metallic shining green; face white. Yhoraw dark brownish fuscous, with a bright

green metallic spot posteriorly, the tegulae bright shining metallic green; shining white beneath.

Forewings dark brownish fuscous, with a broad outwardly curved blue-green metallic band near the

base, a slightly oblique stone-grey fascia across the middle, somewhat produced inwards on the dorsum,

a triangular costal spot of the same colour between this and the metallic band, the termen, apex and

cilia also stone-grey. Hap. al.12 mm. Hindwings brownish fuscous, with a dark fuscous spot at the

42 HETEROCERA.

Smaller than perlatella Wkr. [Cat. Lp. BM. 29 612 sp. 269 (1864) Ega; n. syn. =

smaragdulella Wkr. Cat. Lp. BM. 29 614 sp. 273 (1864) Santarem], and in the

material before me the stone-grey costal spot of trochilea is of moderate size and

inconspicuous, while in perlatella it is produced to the dorsum as a fascia; moreover,

the apical and terminal cilia of the forewings, as well as the cilia of the hindwings,

are decidedly paler, and the apex of the forewing itself partakes in some degree of the

grey tinge of the cilia which is certainly not the case in perlatella. A perhaps even

more reliable difference is to be found in the form of the dark brown colouring which

precedes the pale median band—in perlatella this encroaches outward towards the

costa, throwing an acute point along the costa to two-thirds, whereas in trochilea this

is much more abruptly terminated on the costa at about the middle.

The type of secundella Wkr. [Cat. Lp. BM. 29 615 sp. 274 (1864) Ega] which has

almost entirely lost (in its present condition) the metallic colouring, described in

somewhat similar terms to that of perlatetia (=smaragdulella), approaches perhaps

more nearly to the Mexican trochilea Wlsm. than the other two types, in that the

apex and cilia are slightly grey, and the oblique dark band rather more abruptly

terminated on the costa; but in secundella this band does not recede towards the

base along the dorsum as in érochilea, while like perlatella it is a rather larger and

stouter species, and the hind tarsi of secundella are white. Were it in good condition

it would, I think, be more easy to separate it.

23. Anacampsis speciosella Wkr.

Gelechia speciosella Wkr. Cat. Lp. BM. 29 618 sp. 271 (1864) *.

Antennae dark brown, white at the apex. Palpi shining aeneous. Head and Thorax iridescent peacock-

blue; face aeneous. Forewings rich dark brown, with a metallic bluish spot at the extreme base of the

costa, and five snow-white spots—one costal, at two-thirds of the wing-length ; one dorsal, at three-

fourths; one on the disc, before the middle; one at the lower angle of the cell; and one below the

fold, nearer to the base; cilia dark brownish fuscous, snow-white on the middle of the termen. Exp.

al. 12-13 mm. Hindwings and cilia dark brownish fuscous. Abdomen shining, iridescent, dark greyish

green. Legs dark brown, banded on the tibiae and tarsi with snow-white ; spurs snow-white.

Closely allied to stelliferella Wkr. [Cat. Lp. BM. 29 613 sp. 270 (1864)], with

which it agrees in the number of white spots in the forewings. These amount to five

in both species, although Walker only recognised four in the type of stelliferelia,

where he evidently overlooked the linear one in the fold which precedes the first

costal: speciosella differs however consistently in the presence of a conspicuous

white spot in the apical cilia of the forewings which is not found in stelliferella.

from Leptogencia Meyr. [Pr. Linn. Soc. NSW. 29 257, 412-3 no, 47 (1904)] in the

lack of the rough projecting tuft on the lower side of the palpi, as also in having

FW: 2 remote from 3. Although not nearly related, Arogalea is liable to be confused

in tabulations with Aristotelia Hb., owing to the separation of HW: 6-7. Arogalea

differs in these veins not being truly parallel, in HW: 5 being bent towards 4 at base,

A single specimen (35478), determined by Busck.

[Some uncertainty as to the origin of the type of this and other species has been

occasioned by the omission of the localities in connection with the descriptions by

Chambers, Cin. Qr. Jr. Sc. 2 244-59 (1875). Hagen (*) records the type of saphi-

rinella as from “ Ky.?”, while Busck (*°) writes “It was described from Colorado.”

Chambers (J. c. 244) said “the following fourteen species are from California”

i. e.—1 Endrosis ferrestrella ; 2 Gelechia lacteus-ochrella ; 3 maculatusella ; 4 thorace-

strigella; 5 aequepulvella; 6 thoracenigracella; 7 thoracefasciella; 8 occidentella ;

9 grisseochrella; 10 ochreostrigella; 11 discostrigella; 12 ocherfuscella; 13 Tinea

behrensella; 14 niveocapitella; and (J. c. 258) added the information that “'The fore-

going descriptions of ‘ Teneina from Texas’ are the conclusion of a series, the remainder

of which have been heretofore published in the Canadian Entomologist.” The Texan

species would therefore start with the second series of Gelechia, commencing with

saphirinella on p. 250 and continuing to the end of the paper. Drnt. |

almost connate ; 3-4 connate ; 5 cubital. Abdomen smooth. Legs: hind tibiae slightly hairy.

In the ¢ the hindwings are remarkably specialised, not reminding one in any way

of a Gelechiad; the flexus and apex are normal, but the margin between them 18

entirely altered in shape; from the apex to where 6 attains the margin on the termen

the wing may be described as hastate, it then becomes widened to the flexus, and this

part is somewhat complicated by folds. Of the veins only 8, 7, and 6 are conspicuous ;

8 attains the costa at the end of the sinuation beyond the middle; 7 is straight, to

apex; 6 arises from 7 at basal fourth, and bending downwards follows the termen.

“This genus” at Mr. Busck’s request “‘is named after the old town Tabernilla, in

the centre of the Canal Zone, which, with the entire surrounding country, will a few

years hence be a thing of the past, flooded by fathoms of water at the bottom of the

agree with rhombella S-D., the type of the genus Gelechia Hb. [FW: 12 veins; 7-8

rest separate. HW: 8 veins; 6-7 separate, but closely approximating towards base ;

3-4 shortestalked; 5 cubital, bent towards 4; 11 connecting radius to 12]; it is

therefore obvious that the geneonym must be restricted to this group should subdivision

become necessary.

triangular and terminates in a curved reduplicated blackish line in the apical cilia; this blotch contains

an outwardly oblique slender line, pointing to a small black spot in a white patch before the apex,

another slender white line meeting it at an angle from the dorsum ; a small pale space on the fold at

about half the wing-length contains a few blackish scales; terminal cilia hoary, speckled with greyish

fuscous. Exp.al.7 mm. Hindwings greyish brown; cilia with a curved shade-line near their outer

ends at the apex. Abdomen shining, greyish brown. Legs greyish; hind tarsi annulate with white and

fuscous.

A single specimen, in poor condition, from Teapa (65694), is easily recognised as

iridipennella.

Chambers ©™ rightly sunk aphroditeella Chmb. as a synonym of iridipennella Clms.

(his type of aphroditeella, in the Museum of the Peabody Academy of Science, Salem,

Mass., was examined in 1881 and this identification confirmed), but proserpinella Frey

and Boll was wrongly regarded as synonymous by Busck ai—?) We have compared

the type of proserpinella with specimens of iridipennella determined by Clemens, and

now recognise proserpinella as a good species, separable from iridipennella without

difficulty by the distinct large iridescent dorsal streak, intermediate between the second

and third costal streaks; in ¢ridipennella this streak is replaced by four small iridescent

spots arranged rectangularly, that on the dorsum, sometimes less conspicuous than

those above it, being preceded and followed by others in a more or less continuous

series parallel with the termen.

Chambers “) remarked that the single specimen of iridipennella received from Belfrage, from

Bosque County, Texas, differed in having “a less number of the blue spots” than any he had seen :

this specimen was doubtless proserpinella, of which there is a specimen in the Stainton Collection,

also received from G. W. Belfrage.

Strobisia proserpinella has not yet been met with in Central America, but Boll took both species

at Dallas (Texas) and it may be expected to occur further South. ]

Antennae leaden grey. Palpi pale leaden grey. Head and Thorax leaden grey. Forewings with a leaden

grey basal patch, merging outwardly into tawny purplish fuscous, which reaches to one-third and is

bounded on the costa by a cuneiform white costal streak, while from its lower half it sends obliquely

upward a sharp steel-grey tooth-like projection into the deep brownish orange band which succeeds it ;

from each extremity of the white costal streak a dark steel-grey point also projects outward; the broad

orange band into which these project is bounded a little beyond the middle of the wing by a rather

oblique bright steel-grey fascia, narrowly margined on either ‘side by black, and rather wider on the

dorsum than on the costa; this again is succeeded by a deep reddish orange fascia, narrower than

the preceding orange band, but somewhat produced outward on the dorsum ; above this dorsal extension

with the radius, should render it easy of recognition.

1. Aerotypia pleurotella, sp.n. (Tab. III. fig. 3:)

Antennae and Palpi pale ochreous, Head and Thorax whitish ochreous; the tegulae streaked with darker

olivaceous ochreous. Forewings ochreous, fading to ochreous white from below the middle to the dorsum: -

from the base below the costa to the apex runs a straight white streak of even width throughout ; above

it the ochreous ground-colour is tinged with pale olivaceous fuscous to the costa, as also narrowly along

its lower margin, making it very clearly defined; cilia whitish, tinged with ochreous, especially at the

apex and on the costa; underside fuscous, with cream-white cilia. Fp. al. 40-42 mm. Hindwings

sericeous, pale brownish fuscous, tending to fade to paler from costa to dorsum; cilia whitish with a

faint ochreous tinge; underside fuscous, with cream-white cilia, Abdomen very pale brownish fuscous

Legs creamy whitish, shaded above with pale brownish fuscous. )

Type: Proclesis xanthoselene Wlsm. (Tab, III. fig. 4.)

20. Proclesis xanthoselene Wism. 9.

J. H. Currant, del.

Antennae 3, without pecten. Labial Palpi long, recurved, smooth; the median joint only slightly thicker

than the shorter terminal. Mawillary Palpi distinct. Haustellum very long, scaled at base. Ocelli

absent. Head and Thorax smooth. Forewings elongate, with parallel margins, apex produced, pointed ;

termen oblique, scarcely sinuate, tornus obtuse: neuration 12 veins; 9 out of stalk of 7-8, 7 to costa;

rest separate, 5-6 remote; 2 as near to 3.as 5 isto 4; 1 basally furcate. MHindwings trapezoidal, apex

pointed, termen oblique and slightly sinuate; cilia#: newration 7 veins, 5 obsolete; 3-4 stalked;

6-7 stalked; discoidal obsolete above media; 11 connecting radius to 12. Abdomen smooth. Legs:

hind tibiae hairy.

Closely related to Deoclona Busck, with which it agrees in the peculiar neuration

of the hindwings, but differing in the shape of the forewings, and in FW: 9 arising

from the stalk of 7-8, instead of being separate ; the terminal joint of the palpi also

is longer than in Deoclona.

1. Proclesis xanthoselene, sp.n. (Tab. 111. fig. 4.)

Antennae pale ochreous. Palpi pale ochreous, tinged with brown on their inner sides ; entirely suffused with

brown externally. Head and Thorax ochreous. Forewings brownish ochreous, thickly overlaid

with minute steel-blue scales, giving an oily sheen to the wing-surface, especially along the margins ;

this steel-blue sheen becomes intensified gradually outwards, until it forms, in some lights, a clear

steel-blue patch adjacent to the apex and termen, produced outward at the apex and tornus through the

cilia and enclosing a semilunate terminal patch of bright yellow-ochreous, covering a small portion of

the termen and including all the terminal cilia, except at the angles; a patch of bluish sealing at the

end of the cell shows a tendency to divide into two spots, and is preceded by a similar patch at about

one-third the length of the cell. wp. al. 18-20 mm. Hindwings shining, coppery yellowish; cilia

almost golden yellow. Abdomen brownish ochreous, with a few steely scales on some segments. Legs

ochreous.

and ‘“ Cerostoma Ltr.” must be corrected (vide Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897 86; etc.),

but as it was recognised that a study of most of the generic terms involved would

have to be undertaken for the purposes of this work the correction has been deferred

until now.

The chief difficulty has been occasioned by the different application of :—:

YrsotopHa Ltr. Préc. Gen. Ins. 145 (1796) no types.

Yrsotoruus F, Sppl. Ent. Syst. 421, 505-10 sp. 1-23 (1798).

Crrostoma Ltr. Hist. Nat. Crust-Ins. 3 416 (1802). Type vittella L. (=dorsatus F., Ltr. Gn.

Crust-Ins. 1 Pf. 16°6).

Ypsolopha and Cerostoma appear both to have originated in Paris, and to have been

applied to the same species PhaJaena Tinea vittella L. (=dorsella F., dorsatus F., Ltr.).

Latreille [Gn. Crust-Ins. 4 233 (1809)] sunk both Ypsolophus F. and Cerostoma Ltr.

as synonyms of § Alucita F. (1781), but *Alucita F. is invalid, being homonymous with

Alucita L. (1758); and moreover when Fabricius published Ypsolophus, founded on

species removed from *Alucita F., he left only five of its original exponents as possible

DICHOMERIS. 89

types of the latter: these are now referred to Adela Ltr., and Nemophora Hb.—it will

be convenient to cite degeerella L. as the type of * Alucita F. (nec L.).

Latreille having established the synonymy Ypsolophus F. = Cerostoma Ltr. (Type:

vittella L.), it is satisfactory to learn from Mr. Busck, who examined the Fabrician

types in the Royal Museum at Copenhagen in 1908, that “there are found in their

original order only six species under the genus Ypsolophus and all of these belong to

Cerostoma” [Pr. Ent. Soc. Wash. 11 89-90 (1909)]. Latreille has been followed by

Hiibner, Guenée, Doubleday, etc., in his use of Ypsolophus (Ypsolopha), while Zeller

(1839) seems responsible for the erroneous use of Ypsolophus in the Gelechiadae.

Stainton adopted Zeller’s nomenclature, but revived Cerostoma Ltr., removing this

synonym of Ypsolophus F. back to the Plutellidae (Hyponomeutidae), and in this

diverse use of these absolute synonyms he has been followed by subsequent writers

(vide Stgr-Rbl. Cat., Dyar’s List, etc.). A return must now be made to the synonymy

established by Latreille and it will help to avoid confusion if the orthographic

correction be now accepted :—

applies absolutely in every detail to the species which we know as Trichotaphe flavi-

costella Clms., it is undeniable that Chambers himself, not only when describing

costolutella (Can. Ent, 4 209), but subsequently, with even greater confidence (Can.

Extreme forms such as ligulella Hb. (Dichomeris Hb.) and flavicostella Clms.

(Trichotaphe Clms.) are apparently so distinct that two genera have been long

maintained for them (with the employment of “ Nothris” in cases of doubt) ; a gradual

series of intermediate forms, however, occurs which renders it impossible to draw the

dividing line between supposed genera which were only separated by the vestiture

of the palpi. The familiar name Zrichotaphe, having served a useful purpose, must

now be relegated to synonymy, and it may be emphasised that Nothris Hb., auct.

(Type: verbascella Hb., FW: 2-3 separate) is at once separable from Dichomeris Hb.

(Ypsolophus, auct., FW: 2-3 stalked) by the neuration, while in this it agrees with

Gelechia Hb. (FW: 2-3 separate)—forms with the clothing of the palpi intermediate

between Gelechia and Nothris (e.g. Oeseis Chmb.) occur in America and it is doubtful

if on this character alone these genera can be separated.

1. Dichomeris sciastes, sp.n. (Tab. III. fig. 10.)

Antennae annulate with fuscous and pale cinereous. Palpi with triangular projecting tuft on the median

joint; fawn-brown, shaded with fuscous externally. Head fawn-brown, a greyish shade along the

from the base of the dorsum to the end of the fold, crossing the middle of the fold almost to the upper

edge of the cell, beyond this again the wing is somewhat sprinkled with fuscous to the apex and termen ;

the usual plical and discal spots are scarcely distinguishable, but the first discal appears to be a little

beyond and above the second plical; cilia pale fawn-brown, with a line of fuscous dusting before their

I was inclined to suppress this description and to regard ingens as a larger southern

form of 5852 reflexella Clms., but after the remarks of Mr. Busck [ Pr. Ent. Soc. Wash.

5 206-7 (1903)] when dealing with quercicella Clms. and its allies I feel justified in

publishing the description and name, my series of reflerella including no specimen

exceeding 23 mm. in expanse. One noticeable difference is to be found in the much

more pronounced series of terminal spots, but the black lines along the base of the

antennae exist also in reflexella, and possibly in other allied species: Mr. Busck’s

knowledge of the larvae of some of these seems to justify the opinion that I was some-

what too hasty in suppressing supposed species and including them in the synonymy

of those described by Clemens [vide Wlsm. US. Dp. Agr. (Div. Ent.) Ins. Life 2 lol—2

the underside of the median joint, and three slender lines along the almost equally long terminal joint.

Head and Thoraa purplish grey. Forewings purplish grey, a narrow pale cinereous line along the

extreme edge of the costa (somewhat broken up into spots on the hasal half) is continued along the base

of the terminal cilia ; underlying the purplish grey colour of the wing is a faint indication of transverse,

striate, pale cinereous mottling; cilia brownish cinereous. Eap.al. 18mm. Hindwings and cilia dull

27. Doxa sodalis Wism. C.

Apparently nearest to and developed from Cryptolechia Z. (Machimia Clms.),

differing essentially in having FW: 9 out of the stalk of 7 and 8, in which it agrees

with Martyringa Busck, Hasta Busck, Hyphypena Wrn., and Mesothyrsa Meyr. Hasta

and Martyringa differ from Doxa in having FW: 2-3 stalked, the latter also in having

HW: 3-4 coincident ; Hyphypena may be distinguished by the clothed terminal joint

of the palpi, and by the stalking of HW:3-4. Such species of Peleopoda Z. as

resemble Doxa in FW: 9 arising from the stalk of 7-+8, may be recognised by the close

approximation of FW: 2-3, by the densely clothed tibiae and tarsi, and by the less

recurved palpi with shorter terminal joint. Mesothyrsa Meyr. [Jr. Bomb. NH. Soc.

When discussing the relationship of “ Cryptolechia Z. and its allies” [Ins. Life

2150-1 (1889)] Psilocorsis Clms. was sunk as a synonym of Cryptolechia Z., from

which Machimia Clms. was separated thus :

FW: 2-3 adjacent at origin= Cryptolechia Z. (Psilocorsis Clms.).

FW: 2-3 remote at origin = Machimia Clms.

This method of distinguishing Psilocorsis from Machimia was indicated by Clemens

[Pr. Ac. Nat-Sc. Phil. 12 211-3 (1860)], who also found points of distinction in the

form of the palpi and the vestiture of the head. ‘The characters hitherto relied on

still hold good as between Psilocorsis (quercicella Clms.) and Machimia (tentoriferella

Clms.), but Cryptolechia (straminelia Z.) differs from Psilocorsis and agrees with

Machimia in that FW: 2 is distinctly more remote from 3 than 3 is from 4, while in

Psilocorsis FW: 2, 3, 4 are nearly equidistant at origin, or 2 tends to become nearer

to 3 than 3 is to 4, and the palpi differ in the median joint being “rather flattened,

smooth, with appressed scales” which slightly overlap and form a narrow furrow along

the outer edge,

somewhat thickly clothed above nearly to its apex. Head yellowish, profusely sprinkled with red.

Thorax fawn-brown, suffused with red along the centre. Forewings, with the costa somewhat arched,

the termen deeply sinuate below the apex, and almost angulate at its middle, tornus rounded ; dark

fawn-brown, with rich reddish patches mixed with pale yellow, and two transparent spots on the cell —

almost white; the red suffusion commences at the base of the dorsum, extending widely along it and

narrowly upward to the costa, where it ends in a white marginal spot preceded by a yellowish

spot below it, the first transparent spot on the cell lying also within its area at its outer edge; this

reddish suffusion is scarcely and very indistinctly separated by fawn-brown from larger red suffusion,

occupying the whole central third of the dorsum and extending upward to the costa, where it ends

in a white marginal spot at three-fourths from the base; this suffused portion, extending beyond the

edge of the cell, contains at its inner edge, on the extremity of the cell, the second whitish transparent

spot, it is also broken by three or four ill-defined yellow patches and by a large dark fuscous patch

below and beyond the lower angle of the cell; cilia on their basal half fawn-brown, at the apex and

rounded: neuration 8 veins; 5-7 parallel, 5 cubital; 3-4 connate. Abdomen somewhat depressed.

Legs: hind tibiae hairy above.

134 HETEROCERA.

Phytomimia may be distinguished from Coptotelia Z., Hyphypena Wrn., and

Gonionota Z. by the absence of the projecting tuft of scales from the terminal joint of

the palpi, while Hypercallia Stph. and Pleurota Hb. differ in the lower edge of the

median joint being roughly clothed throughout.

1. Phytomimia chlorophylla, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 22.)

Antennae bright green. Palpi bright green, becoming whitish along their lower edge, which, together with

the whole terminal joint, is thickly sprinkled with reddish brown scales. Head pale green. Haustellum

pale green. Thorax bright green. Forewings bright grass-green, the costa narrowly flesh-coloured

throughout ; a slender, oblique, flesh-coloured line before the termen crosses the veins, but does not

reach the margins; a single dot of black scales on the disc at the end of the cell; cilia grass-green, with

slightly darker basal and parting lines. Hwxp. al. 18 mm. Hindwings pearly white; cilia white.

Abdomen bluish green; anal tuft white. Legs: posterior pair very pale green, the tarsal joints nearly

2. Phytomimia redundans, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 23.)

The description of chlorophylla applies in every particular to this species, except that this possesses a

ferruginous brown ocelloid spot, narrowly rimmed with ochreous, on the dorsum beyond the middle,

immediately preceding the oblique transverse line; while some few ochreous and brown scales are

connected with the first discal spot. It is noticeable in the single female specimen before me that vein 2

of the forewings is a little further removed from 3 than in chlorophylla. I had at first suspected these

to be sexes of the same species, but without more material, collected in one and the same locality, there

could be no justification for uniting them. Lap. al. 18 mm. :

138 HETEROCERA.

Most nearly allied to Macrobathra Meyr. and Gymnobathra Meyr., which agree in

having FW: 7 to costa and no antennal pecten, but at once distinguished from both

by the peculiar clothing of the hind tibiae. In general appearance Echallogonia

reminds one most strongly of Petalanthes Meyr., which however differs in its less

pointed hindwings and by having FW: 7 to termen.

1. Ecballogonia bimetallica, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 34.)

Antennae fuscous, whitish at the base beneath. Palpi silvery at the sides, fuscous beneath. Head fuscous ;

face with two lateral silvery streaks. Jhorax tawny fuscous, anteriorly collared with steel-grey, tegulae

sieel-grey except at their base. Forewings tawny fuscous, with some elongate central shades of

ochreous and many steel-grey spots aud lines; a steel-grey spot near the base of the dorsum extends to

the fold and is followed by a similar oblique metallic streak from fold to dorsum at one-fifth from the

base; a small steel-grey costal spot, a little beyond the first dorsal spot, emits a broken subcostal line of

steel-grey scales reaching to a whitish mediocostal spot ; a dark steel-grey metallic line along the cell

terminates a little above the apex, a second line, commencing about the middle, diverges in a broken

series of scale-spots around the termen to the apex, ending in a short metallic apical streak ; cilia tawny

greyish fuscous along their base. Exp. al.12 mm. Hindwings dark tawny fuscous, with a straight,

narrow, whitish central transverse band, wider on the costa than on the dorsum, preceded by a patch of

steel-grey metallic scales and followed by a line of the same extending to the apex parallel with the

termen; cilia tawny greyish; the white band is very visible on the underside, accompanied by some

metallic scaling. Abdomen shining, bluish grey; whitish beneath at the base. Legs tawny fuscous,

with two white bands around the hind tibiae at the base of the whitish spurs; a single white spot on

the second tarsal joint.

Antennae pale cinereous, annulate with brown. Pali recurved, acute, with long terminal joint ; chestnut-

brown, becoming whitish toward the apex, with a fuscous ring immediately preceding it. Head greyish

brown, Yhora# chestnut-brown, with a whitish bar posteriorly. Forewings pale brownish ochreous,

suffused with dark chestnut-brown, especially at the flexus, on the oblique cuneiform fascia at one-

fourth, on the end of the cell, and along the costa before the apex; from the base of the costa a mottled

and streaky pale greyish shade extends obliquely outward to the dorsum at one-third, containing some

brown spots ; this is followed by the suffused cuneiform fascia which sends out two points on its outer

side, one along the dorsum and one above it, the upper one bounding the lower edge of a conspicuous whitish

costal patch, also dilated outward at its lower edge, and there somewhat tinged with ochreous—this

contains on the cell a blackish dot; the suffused patch which succeeds it is connected to the costa by a

rather paler chestnut-brown shade, through which runs a steely grey streak, starting from a white costal

pale yellowish ochreous patch beyond the end of the cell; other steely grey scales and pale streaks pass

through an elongate suffused patch lying on the dorsum below the pale ochreous patch, while above it,

but separated by a line of blackish scales, the subcostal area is suffused with dark chestnut-brown nearly

to the apex, the costal edge alone being pale ochreous, continued as a median streak at the base of the

brownish cilia in the unciform apex; below the subapical incision is a pale ochreous, or almost whitish,

patch on the termen, margined on its inner side by steely grey scales, and on its outer edge on the base

of the cilia by parallel brown lines; the dorsal cilia brownish ochreous, somewhat mottled about the

tornus. Hep. al. 11-12 mm. Hindwings subopalescent, grey; cilia brownish grey. Abdomen shining,

brownish grey. Legs whitish, with a fuscous band across the hind tarsi, and brownish ochreous hair-

more material some further differences may be recognised, justifying a more detailed description.

an outwardly oblique band, from the costa at one-fourth, extending a little across the middle of the fold,

immediately followed by a pale, shining, steel-grey costal blotch, also reaching nearly to the fold, and

extending to the middle of the wing; beyond this are two very oblique whitish costal streaklets,

outwardly dark-margined, embedded in the dark brown colour which overspreads the remainder of the

costal portion of the wing, with the exception of a narrow space below and adjacent to them which is

pale ferruginous; a dark line from the end of the second streak, its upper edge tinged with ferruginous,

a whitish space below it being cut longitudinally, and narrowly margined outwardly,

The colouring of this insect is extremely difficult to describe, but one peculiarity is

very noticeable, namely, that many of the scales on the forewings have a distinct pale

cinereous, almost whitish, margin, their centres being brownish or greyish fuscous,

according to the prevalent shade on that portion of the wing.

[ Oecophora was published by Latreille in 1796 (Préc. Gen. Ins. 146-7 no. 17) as

a geneonym, but without any indication of the species to be associated with it. In

1802 Latreille (HN. Crust-Ins. 3 417) published a second description of Oecophora

and cited as its Type Tinea sulphurella F., subsequently, in 1803 (Nouv. Dict. Hist-Nat.

16 20) and 1805 (HIN. Crust-Ins. 14 251-2 no. 434 sp. 1-2) further descriptions of

the genus were given together with translations of Fabricius’ description of Tinea

sulphurella. Werneburg (Btr. Schm. 1 484-5, 585 note 424) wrote in 1564 “ Hier

beschreibt Fabr. unter den Namen Sulphurella ganz klar und unzweifelhaft

T. Bracteella L. und es ist merkwiirdig, dass Herr. Schaffer diese Schabe nicht citirt

hat.” There can be no doubt that Tinea sulphurella F. is synonymous with the

species now known as Alabonia bractella L. (Stgr-Rbi. Cat. 3333), and consequently

Alabonia Hb. must sink as a synonym of Oecophora Ltr.

Fabricius described two species under the name of sulphurella—Alucita sulphurella

F, Ent. Syst. 670 sp. 19 (1775) and Tinea sulphurella F. Gn. Ins. 296 (1777).

Curtis (Br. Ent. 9 expl. Pl. 408) cited Tinea sulphurella F. as the Type of Oecophora,

but the insect he figured and described is Alucita sulphurella F.! Arising from this

mistake the yellow hindwinged Alucita sulphurella has wrongly been regarded as

the type of Oecophora Ltr.: it is obvious that Dasycera Stph. must be reinstated in

lieu of *Oecophora (Ltr.) Crt.—Drnt. ]

Antennae brownish fuscous, a black spot adjacent to the dull whitish basal joint. Pulpit dull white, with three

black bands around the median joint, and two around the terminal, on which latter they occupy nearly

the whole surface, an oblique whitish line separating them. Head bone-white, a fuscous patch posteriorly,

adjacent to the thorax. Thorax bone-white, with two small blackish spots near the base of the tegulae,

one median spot behind them, and five marginal spots. Forewings bone-white, much mottled with dark

brownish fuscous, and sprinkled with scales of the same colour, between the larger spots and mottlings ;

of these, the most conspicuous are three irregular elongate patches, ranged obliquely outward, from

below the costa across the cell, to the fold at about half the wing-length—the lower of these rests on the

fold, and is preceded by a streak along it from the base, the middle one being preceded by a shorter

streak on the cell, and followed by a still larger irregular longitudinal patch, with which it is somewhat

confluent, reaching to the termen above the middle; above and below this are small patches of fuscous

mottling, which is also very plentiful below the costa and near the base, and below the fold; a series

of three costal, one apical, five terminal and one tornal, squarish black spots precede the bone-white

cilia which are streaked with fuscous below the middle. Exp. al. 32 mm. Hindwings iridescent,

pearly lilac, shaded with brownish grey around the margins and across the apex beyond their middle ;

cilia pale brownish grey, with a darker shade-line running through them near their base; there is a

tolerably strong ochreous hair-pencil from the base of the costa in the ¢. Abdomen dark greyish

narrower ring before its apex; two broad rings on the terminal joint. Head dirty white, with a large

fuscous spot above posteriorly. Thorax dirty white, with fuscous spots—one central, six large, marginal,

and one small, posterior. Forewings smoky white, suffused with dark brownish fuscous ahove the fold, over

which this colour slightly projects, in a broad patch before, and another about the middle; below the fold,

and before the second projection, are two fuscous spots, a reduplicated fuscous spot lying in the fold before

its outer extremity ; the white colour is thrown up obliquely, across the fold to the end of the cell, and

is produced along the termen and reproduced about the apex, reappearing more slightly along the costa,

but much mixed and clouded with fuscous; a series of ill-defined fuscous spots occurs around the apex

and termen, at the base of the dirty white cilia, which are interrupted by fuscous below the apex.

Antennae olivaceous, dusted with dirty white. Palpi slender, recurved to above the vertex, the terminal

joint scarcely more than half the length of the median; dirty white, with two dark brownish annulations

on the median joint, and two on the terminal, separated by approximately equal spaces. Head and

Thorax dirty whitish, the latter somewhat spotted with olive-grey; the base of the tegulae olive-grey.

Forewings dirty white, much suffused and blotched with dark olive-grey, a slight iridescent greenish

metallic sheen in certain lights on the basal half, especially below the fold; the olive-grey blotches are

about equally distributed over the wing-surface, to beyond the middle, and are rendered confluent with

each other by a suffusion of scales of the same colour between them ; beyond the middle, an irregular

band of semidetached blotches crosses the wing from costa to dorsum, a central one, larger than the

others, extending nearly to the termen and staining the terminal cilia below the apex and termen, before

the base of the white cilia. vp. al. 26 mm. Hindwings purplish grey, with an aeneous brown gloss

around their margins, and along the basal third of the white cilia. Abdomen brownish grey, the

about the middle of the wing, and at about one-fourth from the base, while between and below these

projections is a rounded spot of the same colour, nearer to the inner than to the outer ; the white

ground-colour throws a projection into the dark suffusion near the outer end of the fold, reaching as high —

as vein 5 at the end of the cell, and there is a good deal of admixture of white scales along the termen

and before the apex, also more slightly along the costa ; around the apex and termen is a series of seven

transverse ziczac line of narrowly connected white spots running through it; a bright golden orange

patch extends over the apex and termen, narrowly stained with violet-red on its inner edge which is

excavate above the middle, the excavation partly occupied by a nearly isolated violet-red spot; the dark

green spots form a series of broken irregular costal streaks before the middle, where two touch the upper

edge of the red dorsal patch; these are followed by a single costal spot, and further by a group of spots

or streaks, bronzy brown at their base on the extreme margin, as are also some of those which precede

them, and produced to form a confused letter-like pattern beyond the end of the cell; cilia white, tipped

base externally. Head white. Thoraw white, with a chestnut spot posteriorly, and a blackish band

across the tegulae. Forewings creamy white, with greenish black mottling at the base on the costal half,

somewhat mixed with chestnut-brown at its outer edge, a single dark green spot occurring below the fold;

the costa beyond the middle is tinged with grey-brown, the same colour being diffused downward along

the edges of a broad reddish chestnut median band, crossing the wing and somewhat dilated to the

dorsum, showing on its surface several bluish white flecks; the apex is reddish chestnut, also flecked

with blue-white, and becoming golden orange along the termen to the dorsum ; the anterior edge of the

apical patch is stained with brownish grey, a spot of the same lying between it and the median band,

scarcely below the middle; cilia brownish, fading to white at the tornus. Hwp.al.23 mm. Hindwings

pale purplish grey, tinged with golden yellow around the apex and termen including the cilia, which

This species differs from exornata Z., in the greater concentration of the greenish

mottling at the base, in the single spot below the fold, instead of a pair, and in the

form of the median band, which in exornata does not reach the costa; it differs also

in the limitation of the golden orange to the lower portion of the termen—in exornata

this is continued around the apex; the palpi also are less smooth and less white.

10. Ethmia terpnota, sp. n. (Tab. V. fig. 11.)

Antennae fuscous. Palpi reaching to the level of the vertex; fuscous, the terminal joint slightly sprinkled

dark steel-blue spot posteriorly, and one on the base of the tegulae. Forewings white, suffused with

smoky brownish grey along the costa, more widely along the middle where this shade touches the upper

edge of a bright copper-coloured, quadrate, mediodorsal patch, of which the upper angle, at its inner

extremity, is, obliquely cut off ; this patch contains a slender ziczac line and some sparse sprinkling of

white scales ; adjacent to the base, above the fold, are several, more or less confluent, obscure spots of

dark steel-blue, fading into the costal shade, a single detached spot lying below the fold ; a few similar

dark spots form a short parallel line preceding the apex and termen, where the grey cilia are stained

shaded at the extreme base with pale brownish, which vanishes outward in a hoary whitish band at one-

third, angulate outward at its middle; beyond this the pale brown shading is renewed with a slight

speckling of greyish brown, or greyish fuscous, spreading over the remainder of the wing, but leaving

three spots of the darker shade, one on the disc a little before the middle of the wing, another at the

end of the cell, and a third, straight below it, at the lower angle of the cell, all distinctly visible ; around

the termen and apex the greyish brown or brownish fuscous shading has a tendency to break into narrow

beyond; the first discal and plical spots are placed as in nephalza, the latter much suffused, but the

transverse spot at the end of the cell is divided into two, and the lower one 1s preceded by another spot

at the lower edge of the cell a little beyond it; the apical portion of the wing 1s much mottled with

greyish brown shading, among which the pale ground-colour gives a dusted or speckled appearance

In general appearance this much resembles Stenoma binubila Z., but it is much

smaller, and the two interruptions of the dorsal patch are less distinct than the single

at its extremities; this is succeeded by another fascia from the costa a little beyond the middle, produced

obliquely outward in a rather ziczac line to the upper angle of the cell, below which it helps to form a

semidetached spot within the end of the cell, thence curving outward to the tornus, where it intersects

an outwardly curved series of about ten dark fuscous spots, preceding the similarly spotted termen ; the

commencing in a smaller costal spot at three-fourths, and slightly interrupted between the veins, tends

obliquely outward nearly to the middle of the termen, thence descending to the tornus, where it joins the

lower spot in a series of about seven, which follow the termen and extend around the apex; in addition

to these markings three minute spots form an oblique series crossing the disc from about one-fourth

from the base, the upper one elongate, oblique, the second beyond and below it on the disc, the third

still further from the base, forming a minute dot on the fold; cilia pale bone-ochreous, Exp, al. 14 mm.

wavy, passing the outer end of the cell, where it forms a short outward streak, descending to the

dorsum with some outward suffusion at one-third from the termen; the third streak approaches the

middle of the termen in its long outwardly oblique curve and reverts to the tornus, a series of somewhat

connected spots of the same colour following the margin beyond it; the costa is very narrowly clean

whitish grey; cilia the same, but with a slight shade towards their base. Lap. al. 21mm. Hindwings

of the terminal whitish. Head roughly clothed above; pale brownish fuscous ; face smoother and paler.

Thorax purplish fuscous. Forewings lilae-grey, the costa narrowly ochreous throughout, with three

waved transverse brownish lines: the first, at about one-fourth, descending obliquely from the costa to

the dorsum before the middle—before this, at the flexus, is a patch of long rather raised scales of the

ground-colour; the second, from beyond the middle of the costa, passing the end of the cell and almost

coalescing with the recurved lower extremity of the third on the dorsum before the tornus ; a few

whitish grey scales mark the inner margins of these two by being a little paler than the lilac-grey

ground-colour, similar scales preceding each of a series of brownish marginal spots on the apex and

termen; cilia brownish grey at their base, hoary whitish grey on their outer half. Hap. al. 21 mm.

Hindwings dull brownish grey ; cilia pale bluish grey. Abdomen brownish grey. Legs pale brownish

the base on the upper edge of the cell, with a third in the middle of the fold; a series of inwardly pointed

dentate blackish spots from the commencement of the costal to the beginning of the dorsal cilia forms

a continuous chain with a similar series of more flattened spots around the apex and termen; the first

portion of the chain, or that which crosses the wing-surface, is abruptly angulated outward below the

costa and above the tornus, the outer angle being abruptly cut off by a pair of strong spots opposite to

Two ¢@ 2 from Volcan de Chirigui are inseparable in markings from the type.

The hindwings are half a shade darker in colour, and perhaps the forewings also

a little darker and broader, but the most interesting difference consists in the fact that

veins 6 and 7 of the hindwings in the 2 2 may be said to be connate rather than

stalked, whereas the ‘stalk in the ¢, although close to the cell, is unmistakable.

We find this difference even more emphasised in the closely allied sororia Z., a

forewings brownish cinereous, profusely dusted with hoary whitish scaling, and dappled with diffused

obscure fuscous spots, the costa narrowly pale brownish ochreous throughout; with two spots near the

base, and five others, somewhat elongate, between the middle and the apex, the series being continued

along the termen in five narrow marginal spots; the fuscous dappling of the wing-surface commences at

the base, above the fold, forming three spots in the basal fourth, and twe others below the middle of the

costa, but, except for a faint indication of smaller spots along the cell, with one at its outer end, this

colouring is broken up into scattered scaling, forming two small groups on the dorsum beyond the middle,

but otherwise about equally distributed with the hoary white and brownish cinereous (almost brownish

ochreous) which forms the general colour of the wing, a projecting group of brownish ochreous scales

standing out from the dorsum near the base; cilia brownish ochreous, mottled with pale greyish fuscous |

and hoary cinereous, Awp.al.21 mm. Hindwings broader than the forewings, the costa much enlarged

an irregular, large, dorsal patch covering two-fifths of the dorsum, throwing out a slight angle on the

fold, and a stronger projecting angle upward nearly to the costa, but not reaching the base ; secondly, a

broken and rather outwardly oblique fasciate shade a little beyond the middle, forming a costal spot, an

inwardly projecting patch at the end of the cell, and a short length-spot on the dorsum, connected to the

cell-spot by a narrow sinuate line; thirdly, a costal spot before the apex, connected with the tornus by

an outwardly convex narrow line of spots on the veins; around the apex and termen is also a line of

semidetached brown spots; the costa is narrowly tinged with ochreous; cilia pale ochreous. Lvwp. al.

at the base, on the middle of the costa, and along the termen and apex, with a wash of reddish fawn

between the grey patches, becoming tawny vinous along the edges of the fawn spaces; this colour

appears conspicuously at the costal extremity of the first fawn patch, also along its inwardly oblique

sinuate inner edge, which, leaving the costa at one-third, runs to the dorsum near the base; a tawny

vinous spot lies in the fold, a little beyond its middle, and, above and beyond this, a large reniform fawn

patch, partially isolated by lines of rosy grey, lies at the end of the cell, its narrow vinous margin

produced downward to the dorsum before the tornus—thus bounding a second large fawn patch rising

from the tornus to the outer third of the costa, its outer edge throwing out short dentate projections

between the veins; a marginal row of small vinous spots bounds the outer side of the elongate rosy grey

terminal patch; cilia shining, fawn-ochreous, with a slight rosy tinge. Zap. al. 25mm. Hindwings

from renselariana Stoll, ergates Wlsm., and loxogrammos Z.; but the figure is very

This species is intermediate between renselariana Stoll and loxogrammos Z., the

line intersecting the brown patch being similar to that in the former, whereas in the

latter it is not bent; moreover the outer extremity of the same patch is not square as

in renselariana, but rounded at its upper and lower extremities, while in loxogrammos

it is rounded at the upper but scarcely at the lower extremity and the dividing line

extends much further in that direction than in ergates.

For reasons stated at length [Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897 100-1 sp. 112] Cryptolechia

tenera Z, was sunk as a synonym of Tinea lacteella F. [Ent. Syst. 3 (2) 313 sp. 116

(1794)|=Pyralis albana F. [Sppl. Ent. Syst 476 sp. 31-2 (1798)], a note by von

Hedemann [Stett. Ent. Ztg. 55 300 (1894)] referring Fabricius’ Type to the genus

Argyria Hb. (Pyralidina) having been overlooked, Von Hedemann writes: ‘“ In der

Fabricius’schen Sammlung des Kopenhagener Museums findet sich ein Exemplar

dieser Art unter dem Namen Albana F. Seine friihere Diagnose der Lacteella ist

besser als die spatere der Aldana.” It is now obvious that the Fabrician idionym

cannot be applied to Cryptolechia tenera Z., which should be known as Stenoma leucana

Sepp; Cryptolechia virginalis Btlr. is also a synonym of this species. In Sepp’s

Surinaamsche Vlinders (2 Pl. 60) the larva of /eucana is figured as skeletonising the

upper side of the leaf of Anona muricata, the pale green pupa standing erect on

the black larval skin on the upper surface of the leaf; the abdomen of the imago

is tinted pale green. The larva was apparently white, with conspicuous single white

hairs, and with three longitudinal black stripes, the dorsal less conspicuous than the

broader lateral stripes; the head and thorax are black, with four transverse ochreous

triangular spots, the apices of each pair meeting above.

Herrich-Schaffer, Zeller, and subsequent writers having overlooked Newman’s

paper [Ent. Mag. 1 73, 83-4 (1832)] adopted Paranthrene for tineiformis Hb., but

following Newman the type must be regarded as tabaniformis Rtmbg. (= *vespiformis

Nwmn.). |

* [When the earlier volumes of the “ Biologia” were published the Aegeriadae had not been removed from

the neighbourhood of the Sphingidae; more recent studies have shown that this family should be transferred

to the Tineina, and we therefore, for convenience of reference, again enumerate the Mexican and Central

American forms under that group. Mr. Busck has recently published a tabulation of the American genera

[Pr. Ent. Soc. Wash. 11 115-18 (1909)], which has been most useful; but the material available is

insufficient, sometimes in imperfect condition, rendering it often impossible to classify the specimens except

on broad lines and in a more or less arbitrary manner.— Ep.] '

Boisduval and Hampson both attribute Melittia to Walker, but Walker adopted

the genus from Hiibner, giving the reference to the ‘ Verzeichniss. Hampson and

192 HETEROCERA. .

Beutenmiiller agree in citing satyriniformis Hb. as the Type of Melitta, but this

monotypical genus was founded on Sbombyliformis Crmr., which Hampson (Fu.

Br-Ind. Moths 1 204 sp. 394) identifies as chalciformis F.—this identification renders

unnecessary Hiibner’s neonym anthedoniformis.

Trochilium Scp. was published without Types, but a careful study of the description

certainly seems to support the ‘decision of Laspeyres [Ses. Europ. 1-2 (1801)] and

Oken (1815) that Scopoli’s genus was founded on the Tineid “Clearwings,” the

“ Bee-Hawks” (bombyliformis and fuciformis) being included in Macroglossum Sep.

Oken [Lehrbuch Naturg. 747-8 (1815)] redescribed Aegeria [F.| dividing it into

two subgenera :—

a. Trochilium, “ Riissel kurz,” to which is assigned as Type apiformis [Cl.], bem-

beciformis [Hb.] being associated with it. |

b. Aegeria, “ Riissel lang,” including about 24 species, of which six are prominently

mentioned, but the Type must be either ichneumoniformis (S-D.) F., or vespi-

formis (L.) F., after the elimination of apiformis (L.) F. by Oken—ichneumoniformis

S-D., F., should be cited as Type, the determination of this species being undoubted.

Fabricius [Gn. Ins. 159 (1777) ] wrote of his genus Sesia: ‘ Victus larvae e foliis

plantarum, imaginis e nectare florum,” thus excluding the wood-boring Tineids, for

the reception of which he described the genus Aegeria F. (1807), and limiting the

Type of Sesia to stellatarum L. and fuciformis L., F., the only species with whose

larvae he was acquainted. Goeze [Ent. Btr. Lin. Nat. Ges. 3 (2) 133 (1780)] and

Cuvier [Tabl. Element. NH. 593 (1798)] both regarded stellatarum as the Type of

Sesia F.; but Laspeyres [Ses. Europ. (1801)] and Schrank [Fn. Boica 2 (1) 153-4,

932-5 no. 203 sp. 1897-1402 (1801)] referred all the wood-boring Tineids to Sesia,

as distinct under other names in America, but the Central American material is not in

In his essay ‘ Sphinx vespiformis’ (1852) Newman proposed a new genus Memythrus

for tabaniformis Rtmbg. (= *vespiformis Nwmn., nec L.), but in September of the same

year (Ent. Mag. 1 73, 83-4) he sunk Memythrus as a synonym of Paranthrene Hb.,

which he redescribed taking for its Type the same species tabaniformis Rtmbg.

(=*vespiformis Nwmn) —Memythrus Nwmn. and Paranthrene Hb. are therefore

synonyms. Herrich-Schiaffer (1846) and Zeller (Isis 1847 418) redescribed Paranthrene

Hb., citing tineiformis Hb. as its type ; Newman’s previous restriction must, however,

be accepted and *Paranthrene (Hb.) Stgr-Rbl., ete. (nee Hb.+ Nwmn.) will sink as a

synonym of Tinthia Wkr. (= Zenodoxus Grt. & Rbnsn.). |

29. Tinaegeria fasciata Wkr. 9.

Antennae 2 thickly clothed with long scales to half their length, thence simple. Labial Pulpi recurved,

ascending,” very long and slender; median and terminal joints about equal in length. Mawillary

Palpi small, drooping. Haustellum long, scaled at base. Ocelli present. Head and Thorax

smooth. Forewings elongate, the margins nearly parallel, rounded at apex; wing-surface without

‘ nude space: neuration 12 veins; 7-8 stalked, 7 to costa; rest separate; 1 furcate at base, but 1> and

1° approximating preparatory to coincidence. Hzndwings partially transparent, widened in the middle,

tapering toward the base and apex, costa somewhat depressed beyond the middle, apex rounded, dorsum

evenly rounded: neuration 8 veins; subcosta and radius geminate, becoming coincident outwardly ;

3-4 separate, but closely approximate [truncate in fasciata Wkr., more remote in ochracea Wkr.];

discoidal obliquely receding ; 6 sinuate, remote from 7 at origin, thence bent upward and then receding ;

5 and 6 continued through cell as upper and lower media; below 4 and lower media the wing-membrane

is nude, with the exception of the dorsum where scale-attachment punctures are visible as on the rest of

the wing. Abdomen brightly coloured, not fringed at the edges. Legs: hind tibiae with long spurs, not

tufted.

The description and figure of the neuration of Tinaegeria ochracea Wkr., published

in 1889, contained some inaccuracies which are corrected above. It is now apparent

that Arauzona Wkr. and Tinaegeria Wkr. are earlier forms from which the more

specialised Aegeriadae can be derived, and there is no justification for the retention of

the family Tinaegeriidae Hmsn. [Fn. Br. Ind. Moths 1 12, 206-8 tf. 134-5 (1892)] to

Most nearly allied to Cossidae (Cossus F.) in the structure of the antennae, but in

the forewings the areole is absent and 7 separate, and in the hindwings 6 is remote

from 7; among the Tineidae the relationship would appear to be with Narycia Stph.

and Alavona Wkr., rather than with Acrolophus Poey.

ARRHENOPHANES. . 295

Antennae —3; basal joint without pecten; ¢ bipectinate, each pectination biciliate; 9 strongly biflabellate.

Labial Palpi upturned, not reaching base of antennae, thickened with scales; terminal joint shorter

than median, obtuse. Mawillary Palpi and Haustellum rudimentary. Ocelli absent. Head and Thora

rough, the latter with posterior tuft. orewings widening outwardly from the base, costa slightly

convex, apex obtusely rounded, termen oblique, not sinuate: neuration 11 veins (10 absent); 8-9

stalked, 8 to termen; 7 separate; 8-5 somewhat approximate, from end of cell, 4 nearer to 5 than to

3; 2 from beyond outer third of cell; an internal vein to between 5 and 6, no secondary cell; 1 basally

furcate. Hindwings 1+, apex obtuse, termen and dorsum evenly convex, cubitus not pectinate: neuration

8 veins, all separate; 4-6 parallel, 6 nearer to 5 than to 7, an internal vein to between 5 and 6;

14 present, 1° basally furcate. Abdomen robust, hairy. Legs: front tibiae with epiphysis almost as

long as the tibia; hind tibiae hairy, spurs well-developed.

A genus of very robust and Bombyciform appearance, specially remarkable from the

much greater development of the antennae in the @ than in the o, but, as the

pectinations are biciliate in the ¢ only, the greater development of these pectinations

in the 9 is probably merely structural and not functional; Busck records the larvae as

living in Polyporus and making cases.

The most nearly allied genus is Cnissostages Z. (oleagina Z.), which however differs

in having FW: 12 veins, 9-10 stalked, and a furcate internal vein in both wings.

[Paratuyris Hb. (“ Pharathyrides”) was founded to include three species: 1641

perspicilla Stoll, 1642 cedonulli (Crmr.) Stoll, and 1643 pandiona (Crmr.) Stoll. Walker

recharacterised the genus in 1855, including additional species, but omitting perspicilla

Stoll, which he referred [Cat. Lp-Het. BM. 7 1740 (1856)] with a “?” to Dasychira

Stph. Kirby included thirteen species in Parathyris Hb., marking cedonulli Stoll with

a * as the Type of the genus; he replaced perspicilia Stoll in the genus, but with a

«“?”, as sp. 13. Hampson [Cat. Lp-Phal. BM. 3 9 tf. 1 sp. 1194 (1901)], regarding

the first species (perspicilla Stoll) as the Type of Parathyris Hb., disregards Kirby’s

specification and describes Thyrarctia Hmsn. for the reception of cedonulli Stoll.

Parathyris Ub., Kby., and Thyrarctia Hmsn. are synonyms with the common Type

cedonulli Stoll, and a new genus (Arrhenophanes) is required for perspicilla Stoll. ]

Antennae g strongly serrate and minutely ciliate, but not bipectinate; 9 bipectinate 5-6, with closely-

packed broad pectinations; ochreous. Palpi short, rough, slightly recurved, terminal joint shorter than

median; whitish ochreous, smeared with brownish fuscous above. Heud rough ; ochreous. Thorax

covered with long upstanding spatulate hair-scales ; whitish ochreous, tipped with dark brown posteriorly.

Forewings with the costa raised near the base, and again near the middle, apex depressed, rounded, termen

somewhat oblique, slightly concave, very broad; whitish ochreous, with a golden silky gloss, especially

on the apical portion of the cell, semitransparent from a little before the middle to its outer extremity,

presenting in different lights the appearance of a large patch of shining pale straw-yellow, or pale

greenish grey, with iridescent lustre; this patch is terminated by a dark um ber-brown. line which

separates it from a broad band of rich golden buff-brownish, in varying shades, having the lustre of silk

plush ; the band passes round the outer extremity of the transparent patch, and becoming wider beiow,

follows its lower margin to the middle, where it is separated by a wedge-shaped streak of bright iridescent

lilac from a coarsely scaled mat of shining pinkish brown, extending to the middle of the dorsum,

but fading inward into the paler, or more whitish ochreous basal third of the wing, which is entirely

clothed with strong upstanding spatulate scales; a narrow dark brown line defines the outer margin

of the large white ocelloid median pattern, but does not extend above vein 8; between veins 5 and 6

is a small dark brown terminal spot; cilia shining, pale golden ochreous. Eep.al. ¢ 34, 9 40 mm.

Hindwings 1; in colour almost the exact counterpart of the forewings, with the exception that

the semitransparent discal patch is less conspicuous; the plush-like golden buff markings are more

diffused outward over the wing-surface, containing two brighter golden spots and traversed by

four or five shorter slender transverse dark brown lines; the brown marginal spot is also present,

and another appears near the flexus, while the cilia are slightly mixed with dark brown in the same

direction, Abdomen 2 whitish ochreous, anal tuft ochreous; ovipositor broad, rather obtuse, bent

under the body: ¢ with the anal claspers long and narrow, uncus slender and slightly bent over. Legs

whitish ochreous.

214 HETEROCERA.

The only known species which can be included in this genus are:

1. strigicinctana Wkv. (1863: Atteria) Cat. Lp. BM. 28 422 (Bogota).

2. drucet W1sm., sp. un. (Chiriqut).

4, transversana Wkr. (1863 : Gauris ?) Cat. Lp. BM. 28 421 (Venezuela).

The Type of Atteria strigicinctana Wkr. is wrongly recorded asa d, itisa ? with

divided frenulum; the Types of docima Druce and transversana Wkr. are both ¢ ¢

with strongly bipectinate antennae; such antennae will probably be characteristic of

the genus, which is easily recognised by the shape of the forewings as well as by

the neuration.

Most of the species described as belonging to the genus Atferia must be referred to

PSEUDATTERIA, gen. n. [FW: 12 veins; 7-8 separate, 7 to costa. HW: 8 veins; —

3-4 connate, 5 straight, not approximate to 4; 6-7 closely approximate toward base.

7. Patynota albescens, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 8.)

Antennae & Ddiciliate 13; pale fawn. Palpi porrect, tapering, pointed, reaching nearly twice the length of

the head beyond it; white. Head fawn-white. Thorax pale fawn-brownish. Forewings with a narrow

costal fold in the ¢, tapering outward from near the base to the middle of the costa ; brownish white,

with subreticulate pale fawn-brownish markings, in each of which some of the scales are tipped with

blackish ; a series of costal spots and three on the fold are small, one at the end of the fold and three

others beyond it rather larger—all blackish ; from the outer four arise oblique slender lines of brownish

reticulation with a slight suffusion about their base, forming a cloudy shade which is repeated on the

dorsum, before the tornus, where it is angulated inward with some blackish scaling, and irregularly

diffused upward to a blackish spot at the end of the cell; at about one-fourth from the hase are two

dark dots placed obliquely on the cell; a projecting tuft of long brownish ochreous scales occupies the

flexus, with a small tuft of raised scales of the same colour above it near the base ; cilia white. Exp. al.

1. Ancylis nomica, sp. n.

Antennae pale fawn-grey. Palpi white on their inner sides, fawn-grey externally, the terminal joint tipped

with fuscous. Head fawn-ochreous. Thorax fawn-grey. Forewings fawn-grey, blending with fawn-

brown beyond the middle and beneath the fold; along the costa is a series of about six, oblique, shining

white, geminated streaklets, with a small cuneiform white streak before the apex, followed by a fuscous

spot at its lower extremity, near the deep incision of the termen—the space from this spot to the apex

is chestnut-brown, margined by white cilia above and beneath; above the tornus the fawn-grey space

contains some wavy shining lines, which clearly define the oblique outer edge of the fawn-brown shade

above it; cilia, below the incision, pale fawn-grey, with a shining line along their base. wp. al. 11-

15mm. Hindwings pale greyish fuscous ; cilia shining, pale grey, a slight shade running through them

near their base. Abdomen shining, greyish. Legs nearly white, with faint greyish tarsal bands.

Type 5 (66487) Mus, Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. [PT. (66488) US. Nat. Mus.]

Hab. Central America—Mexico: GueRRERO: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (Hl. HT, Smith):

tabasco: Teapa, ILI. (H. H. Smith)—PanaMA: CHIRIQUI: Volcan de Chiriqui, 2000-

3000 ft., 1881-2 (G. C. Champion). Three specimens.

This is a true Ancylis with HW: 3-4 stalked—perhaps most nearly allied to 6259

Astatia Hb. is too close to Astara Ltr. (1796) Hym., and should be sunk as a synonym of

Episagma Hb., with which it is Cotypical ; moreover, the Type of Episagma became fixed in

1834, while, through being erroneously recorded as “ Epiblema,” the Type of Astatia did not

become fixed until the publication of Stephens’ Appendix and errata in 1835.

This species differs from plebeiana Z. in the absence of a defined basal patch, in the

green mottling, and in the dark costal shade; also in the form of the costal fold, which

is elongate, not abbreviated. The tuft of scales on the hindwings is strongly elevated

at the base, but appears somewhat less developed along the cubitus.

1. Enarmonia vittata, sp. n.

Antennae stout, pubescent in the g; cinereous. Palpi short, scarcely projecting beyond the head; reddish

brown, shaded externally ; terminal joint fuscous. Head greyish fuscous. Thorax tawny brownish in

front, shading to pale cinereous posteriorly ; with a strong tuft of whitish hairs on each side, beneath

the base of the forewings. Forewings tawny brownish, shaded with greyish fuscous, especially along

the costa from the base, along the upper edge of the fold, and in two patches, one tending obliquely out-

wards from the middle of the costa, the other, more conspicuous, near the tornus; along the costa is a

series of geminated, pale cinereous, oblique streaks, to the number of eight or nine pairs—the fifth

pair from the apex sends out a blue-grey line to the termen below it and is joined by shorter lines

coming from the other four pairs beyond it; a steel-grey metallic elongate dash, close to the lower half

of the termen, bounds the outer edge of the ocelloid patch, in which are three short black streaks on

pale tawny brown; cilia tawny. Exp. al. ¢ 17-19 2 mm. Hindwings brownish fuscous, strongly

iridescent where denuded of scales; cilia pale grey. Abdomen greyish fuscous, anal tuft shining grey.

Legs with the tibiae somewhat thickened and roughly clothed ; shining, whitish, with strong iridescent

reflections, tarsal joints banded with greyish fuscous.

Antennae minutely ciliate in the 9; dark tawny greyish. Palpi projecting scarcely the length of the head

beyond it, closely clothed, the short terminal joint depressed ; dark tawny fuscous. Head dark tawny

grey. Thorax dark tawny ferruginous ; densely tufted. orewings narrow, elongate, with costa

straightened beyond the slightly rounded base, apex obtuse, termen sinuate, scarcely oblique, tornus

rounded; dark tawny greyish, with dark tawny ferruginous blotches—first, a short basal patch, wider on

the costa than on the dorsum, its outer edge slightly convex; then, a large, elongate, costal patch con-

taining a white cornucopia-shaped streak, slightly beyond the middle of the costa, its diminishing lower —

extremity turned outward; and again, a narrower streak pointing obliquely inward from the termen above

the tornus and having a small cuneiform white streak at its upper edge separating it from a shorter

diverging dark streak above it; a few dark dots are on the dorsum, and two or three on the costa in the

white streak; cilia tawny ferruginous ; underside fuscous, the costa and termen ferruginous, the white

costal patch being visible. Exp. al. 19mm. Hindwings 1, elongate, apex rounded, termen oblique ;

brownish grey ; cilia scarcely paler. Abdomen brownish grey. Legs pale brownish cinereous.

erect, densely but smoothly clothed, the short obtuse terminal joint scarcely visible; dark purplish

fuscous. Head dark reddish brown. Thorav smooth, dark purplish fuscous. Forewtngs very dark

purplish fuscous, with an olivaceous brownish tinge from the middle of the base, overflowing the fold and

the cell and dilated upward toward the costa before the apex ; standing out against the purplish gloss, on

the commencement of the outer half of the fold, is a deep tawny black triangular patch, followed by a

smaller one, above its outer angle at the end of the celi, containing a few rosy scales; there are a few

costal spots, and a broken transverse antemarginal streak, almost equally dark in colour; cilia smoky

Hab, Brivish Honpuras (=*Hownvrss'): Limas, near Belize, 1844-5 (D. Dyson).

[The specimen is labelled “ Limas,” and was presented as from « Limas, Honduras”

by H. T. Stainton, in 1861. In the Stainton Collection are specimens labelled

‘‘Limas, V., Brockholes 1860 ” (401201-17); “ Belise, W.W. Saunders” (401218-21) ;

and “Colombia, D. Dyson, W. W. Saunders” (401222-3)—these specimens were

probably all collected by Dyson and dispersed. <3

OLETHREUTES. 251

In ‘The Substitute,’ 1: 1856-7 pp. 106-8, is an obituary notice of David Dyson (IV. 1823-

10. XII. 1856), reprinted from ‘The Express’ of 12 December 1856, and, on p. 146, a proposal

that lithographed copies of his portrait by a French artist should be offered to subscribers. It

would appear that Dyson was originally a weaver at Oldham, that he went to America in 1843,

and collected ‘“‘ through the States, across the Alleghany Mountains, and as far as St. Louis,”

returning to England in less than twelve months with upward of 18,000 specimens of insects,

birds, shells, and plants. ‘He started for Central America on the 17th of September, 1844, and

landed at Belize on the 3rd of November. He remained in Honduras till the latter end of 1845,

actively engaged in his vocation, aud in the deadly swamps of that country contracted disorders

which undermined his constitution, the immediate cause of his return being a sun-stroke at

Belize.’ The British Museum seems to have engaged Dyson to make certain collections, and the

chief result of this trip was “the addition of many thousand specimens to the British Museum.”

In 1846, accompanied by his brother Amos Dyson, he collected for about eleven months in

Venezuela for the Museum, “ his collection on this occasion including a great variety of humming

birds, moths, beetles and shells”’ After his return to England, Dyson appears to have given his

attention chiefly to Conchology, and to have assisted Hugh Cuming, of Gower Street ; he succeeded

Louis Fraser as curator of the Earl of Derby’s collections, at Knowsley. Dyson amassed a private

collection of about 20,060 shells, belonging to 10,000 species, and, in 1850, he published at

Manchester a 12mo of 96 pp. on ‘The Land and Fresh Water Shells of the districts around

Manchester.’ Mrs. Ives published a further obituary notice, with portrait of Dyson | Proc.

Manchester Field Club 1:1900-1 pp. 238-40 Pl. 11 (1905) ], from which we learn that ‘ David

Dyson became an author, which was the more surprising as to the day of his death he did

not know how to read or to write. When the authorities of the British Museum asked

him by what method he distinguished natural history objects from each other, he tcld them

that he had a mode of writing of his own, a kind of hieroglyphic marking understood only

by himself.” !!

It would seem that the full record for Walker’s species described as from

“ Honduras” or from “Limas ” should be British Honpuras: Limas, near Belize,

1844-5 (D. Dyson), but some specimens had been previously acquired from Miller, in

1839——there is no reason ‘to suppose that these were not frora Belize. The actual

locality “ Limas” is probably Lime Walk (Labouring Creek), north-west of Belize.—

‘revision; the three first species”? [7.e. 1. pomonella L.; 2. splendana Hb.; 8. grossana Hw. }

“form the true Carpocapsae of Treitschke—Cydia of Hiibner—the remainder are mostly

included in the genus Grapholitha of Treitschke, and constitute other genera of Hiibner, as.

indicated hereafter.”

- The only species common to Hiibner and Stephens, and which was therefore regarded by Stephens

as the Type of Cydia Hb. is pomonella L. Stephens’ statement can have but one meaning—

Carpocapsa Tr. (1829)=Cydia Hb. (1826) Type: pomonella L., with which splendana Hb.

Sir W. J. Hooker! wrote, in 1854:—“If asked to guess at the plant to which the.

seed belongs, I should say, to some species of Colliguaya (and very probably to the

Colliguaya odorifera, Hook.) a common shrub on the coast of Chili.” Westwood

doubtless ascertained that “ Colliguaja” was the native name of the plant, but this

was evidently a Chilian name applied to a Chilian plant, and there appears to be no

evidence to support the statement that “the plant is known by the Mexicans as

‘ Colliguaja’” (Riley). The genus Coldiguaja Molina is confined to South America,

and the mere suggestion made by Hooker, in 1854, would seem to be the only foun-

dation for the general assumption that deshaisiana is in any way associated with

Colliguaja odorifera Molina (=Croton colliguaja Sprengel).

Antennae dark purplish fuscous. Palpi projecting twice the length .of . the. head beyond it, convex above ;

dark purplish fuscous, white at the base and on the inner side of the median Joint to beyond its middle.

Head smooth, purplish fuscous, with a white spot adjacent to each eye on the forehead. Thorax shining,

reddish orange, a cuneiform fuscous spot on the anterior edge; tegulae dark purplish fuscous,. margined

in front and externally with white. Forewings with the costa evenly arched, apex obtuse, termen

convex, showing alternate stripes of dark purplish fuscous and white, to the number of nine of each,

‘all parallel, the first two white streaks being shorter than the others and’ joined at their lower

extremities in form of the letter U;. the eighth and ninth white stripes are sometimes confluent at their

base; beyond .the succeeding fuscous streak the next: two white ones are also confluent below the middle

and somewhat variable in form, usually throwing out a furcate branch to the termen below the apex

from their base and leaving one or two fuscous spots detached and encroaching on the shining reddish

orange surface preceding them; at’ the apex itself is a short V-shaped fuscous’ mark, its furcation being

caused by a cuneiform white apical streak; below the terminal streaks (which are described as being

connected with the costal series above) three or four ‘more alternations of white and fuscous reach to the

tornus, in some specimens preceded by. one or two fuscous spots; within the striated margin the whole

_ of the wing-surface (being about two-thirds of its ‘width including the dorsum) is shining reddish orange.

Earp. al. 26-32 mm. Hindwings reddish orange, with a group of three purplish fuscous spots around

the apex, and a series of about five spots along the margin below them; the cilia between the spots

orange, like the wing-surface, except for one white spot at the apex, whereas the cilia of the forewings

conform to the colour of the marginal streaks. Abdomen shining,:reddish orange, a purplish fuscous

patch on the terminal segment, with one also on each side margined by white and representing lateral

tufts of long hair-scales. Legs reddish orange, with some fuscous shading about the tarsi.

PotyortHa Dgn. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 49 85-6 (1905) ; Frnld. Gn. Tortr. 48, 63 (1908).

Antennae about 4, simple. Palpi projecting at least twice the length of the head beyond it; hirsute, with

long hair-like seales projecting beyond the base of the somewhat hirsute, porrected, terminal joint.

Head somewhat roughly clothed. Thorax with moderate posterior crest. Forewings elongate, ovate,

costa convex throughout, with groups of rough projecting scales; apex obtuse or somewhat angular,

termen oblique, sometimes sinuate, with patches of raised scales: newration 12 veins ; 7-8 sometimes

closely approximate, 7 to costa; 3 from near end of cell; 4-5 approximate, connate, or stalked.

Hindwings 1; termen slightly sinuate; apex obtuse: neuration 8 veins; 3-4 stalked (or connate),

5 remote, nearly parallel to 4; 6-7 closely approximate toward base, or short-stalked. Abdomen

moderate. Legs: hind tibiae nearly smooth.

This genus is closely allied to Oxygrapha Hb., which it greatly resembles in

general appearance, and with which it agrees in having FW: 7 to costa, but differs

in its longer palpi, and in HW: 5 being remote from 8-4, which are stalked in the

Central American species. It is possible that several of the forms here described as

species may ultimately prove varieties of some polymorphic species—having regard

to the variation exhibited in some of the European species of Oxygrapha.

Thyralia Wism. [Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897 138-9 no. 80 sp. 205-7 (1897)] was

described from lacteipalpis Wlsm., but the description was extended to include

bunteana Rbnsn. which was cited as the type. Busck [Jr. NY. Ent. Soc. 15 20

lepidana Clms. is also a Phalonia, but lacteipalpis Wlsm. may be at once distinguished

accompanied at their upper edges by some black scales, and reaching to the middle of the wing; from

the middle of the costa, above these, arises an outwardly oblique streak which terminates on the cell. but

is renewed in a detached streak, or patch, in the same line, pointing to the termen above the tornus and

narrowly edged outward with black scales; from this, halfway to the apex, arises a rather larger and

rather less oblique streak, which terminates a little below the middle of the ter1men, where it is narrowly

edged with black scales ; beyond it the apex is speckled with the same colour, of which there is a slight

shade along the dorsum and above the tornus; cilia shining, whitish ochreous. Exp. al. 7-8 mm

Antennae pale yellow, basal joint black. Palpi sooty black. Head orange above, face sooty black. Thorax

reddish orange (sometimes yellowish orange), with a metallic steel-grey patch in the middle, and a line

- of the same colour across the tegulae. Forewings much widened outwardly, apex produced, almost

faleate, termen straight, tornus rounded ; deep reddish orange (varying to paler yellowish orange); the

basal third of the wing with four steel-grey metallic streaks—the first nearly parallel with the costa from

the base to one-third, connected by two bars to the costa itself; the second from the middle of the base,

shorter than the first, but parallel with it; the third arising from the dorsum, passing the second

obliquely and nearly reaching the outer end of the first; the fourth short, arising from the dorsum and

terminating in a black patch, which crosses the fold and is narrowly connected with a smaller patch on

the dorsum; there is no black dorsal patch between the third and fourth of the basal streaks [in this

respect it differs from fuesslyana Stoll, in which the two patches are separated, the lower one preceding

the upper]; this portion of the wing is bounded by a steel-grey metallic band, somewhat fluctuate, the

space beyond it, as far as the tornus and to beyond the end of the cell, is distinctly reticulated with dark

purple, a black patch lying on the costa and outwardly bounded by another steel-grey streak with

greenish reflections; a shorter straight costal streak follows this, with a black spot between them, and

in the apical portion of the wing are two longitudinal and two transverse bright metallic green streaks,

not connected with each other, exceptionally, however, the apical streak reaches the inner transverse

streak [in this again it differs from fuesslyana Stoll, in which the first of the longitudinal streaks

joining the first of the transverse ones forms with it a connected curved line, pointing out to the

costa before the apex]; costal cilia clean white, with a black line along their base, the remaining

cilia at the apex and termen purplish black; underside with the apical and terminal portion strongly

reticulate with blackish, and with four or five metallic spots or streaks before the apex—as on the

upper side, these are disconnected from each other, whereas in fuesslyana Stoll the two middle

streaks form a single curve. Exp. al. 19-20 mm. Hindwings rich orange (varying to pale yellowish

orange) with two or three transverse black striae in the apical third; cilia purplish black, with a

This is one of the most remarkable instances I have ever met with in which the

general appearance and markings of two distinct species are so absolutely deceiving.

The slight differences noticed in the above description are perfectly consistent

throughout a series of twelve specimens from various localities in which the closely

allied fuesslyana Stoll. (twenty-one specimens) also occurs. In their flight they must

be inextricably mixed, but I have seen no intermediate varieties and the genital

appendages of the ¢ are not alike. ‘The black palpi and the disconnected subapical

metallic streaks at right angles to each other are the two points in which durranti

consistently differs from fuesslyana Stoll, which has yellow palpi and a curved

subapical line.

Antennae pale ochreous, faintly barred with blackish above. Palpi pale ochreous. Head pale ochreous.

Thorax dull leaden grey, streaked at the sides with coppery red; the tegulae coppery red, margined with

‘shining steel-blue; underside white. Forewinys deep coppery red, mottled and streaked with shining

steel-blue, alternating with orange and a little black; the costa is narrowly pale orange, blending to

deeper orange before the middle, and marked with about eight blackish costal spots, the one on the middle

being longer than the others ; from the base, to about one-fourth, a pale orange-yellow streak runs along

the upper edge of the cell, margined on either side by steel-blue, of which there is also a short transverse

streak beyond its apex and another below its apex, the latter obliquely reaching the flexus ; along the

1. Tortyra chalcodes, sp. n.

Antennae thickened, to three-fourths of their length, with rich bronzy purplish scales; a white band around

them beyond the thickened portion, the apex bronzy fuscous. Palpi projecting the length of the head

beyond it, the smooth median joint shining steel-green ; the short terminal joint bronzy fuscous. Head

bronzy fuscous; face steel-green. Z'horaw bronzy fuscous, with arich purple sheen. Forewings with a

bright purple basal patch to one-fourth, having a jet-biack costal spot at the base, with some steel-green

scales below and behind it; beyond the basal patch is a nearly straight bright aeneous band, becoming

purple at its costal extremity, narrowly margined before and behind by tawny blackish lines, which

separate it on either side from broader bands of diffused shading, composed of alternate lines of brownish

fuscous and whitish cinereous, the outer band, somewhat diffused outward on its upper half; beyond this

the remaining surface of the wing to the termen and apex is rich bright shining cupreous, with greenish

golden reflections, tending to lilac along the costa; in this space are four jet-black lines radiating from

the upper angle of the cell, but not reaching the apex, these become shorter in progression upward; a

short jet-black line follows vein 2 a little inward from the termen ; cilia bright bronzy cupreous. Lap.

2. Hemerophila felis, sp. n.

Antennae biciliate 2; fuscons, annulate with cream-whitish toward the base. Palpit creamy whitish, the

terminal joint much shorter than the median, closely appressed to the face, both joints tipped with

fuscous. Head brownish fuscous. Thorax brownish fuscous, a band of cream-white across its anterior

margin; underside white. Forewings with the costa evenly arched, termen oblique, slightly convex ;

brownish fuscous, with a vinous suffusion; a transverse creamy white band, at one-fourth of the wing-

length, emits from the middle of its outer side a similar band, of the same width, descending obliquely to

the tornus from the middle of the costa; a rather narrower creamy white band, slightly convex outwardly,

also descends obliquely outward, nearly meeting the lower extremity of a narrow band of the same

colour, from the costa near the apex, parallel with the termen—these three are all merged in a bright

orange-ochreous patch at the tornus, in which is a single dark spot; cilia of the same colour as the fore-

Wings, except along the margin of the ochreous patch. Zxrp. al. 14-19 mm. Hindwings brownish

fuscous, with an elongate streak along the cell and two small marginal spots beneath it, bright

ochreous; cilia tipped with pale greyish. Abdomen fuscous, banded with cream-whitish, a band of the

same dividing it from the thorax. Legs banded with brownish fuscous and cream-whitish.

patch in the forewings—this encroaches on the dark ground-colour along the dorsum,

extending above the fold; the subterminal line is not parallel with the termen, and in

the hindwings the ochreous spots become blended into a subterminal line. The palpi

colour below the fold, as far as the dorsum before the middle; beyond the broad mottled band which

succeeds this, the apical and terminal portions of the wing is dark reddish orange, a rather shining

leaden-grey line running through this colour, forming an angle corresponding to the apex, its upper part

not quite reaching the costa, its lower part parallel to the termen and blending with the cinereous

mottling above the tornus ; cilia shining, steel-grey, with a black line along their base. Hxp.al.14mm.

The specimens from Panama and Colombia agree with the Type in the number and

position of the markings, but they are distinctly smaller, and the greater predominance

of the sprinkling of white scales along the margins of the darker spaces, especially

above the tornus, give them a somewhat different appearance ; the basal patch may

perhaps be said to be somewhat less bent on its outer edge, but the Type being unique

This differs from ewthia Wlsm. in its larger size and darker colouring ; in the median

streak taking the line of the cell, instead of that of the fold, and in being faintly

continued to the apex.

ANCHIMACHETA, gen. n.

(ayxpaynrhs = fighting hand-to-hand.)

Type: Anchimacheta capnodes Wlsm.

Antennae simple. Labial Palpi long, recurved, reaching as high as the vertex (in the dead insect somewhat

porrect); terminal joint nearly as long as median, both joints somewhat thickened with scales.

Maxillary Palpi and Haustellum rudimentary. Head somewhat thickly clothed. Thorax smooth.

Forewings elongate, rather narrow, apex depressed, rounded, termen obliquely rounded to dorsum :

neuration 12 veins, all separate; 7 to costa; cell narrow, very long as compared with the apical veins,

an internal vein from between 6-7 to before 10; 3-4 somewhat approximate, 3 from angle of cell;

2 from outer ninth of cell, but well-separated from 8; basal fork of 1 obsolete. Hindwings nearly 1,

costa rather straight, termen obliquely rounded: neuration 8 veins, all separate; 2-5 more remote

than 5-7, cell obliquely receding from 5; 6-7 parallel. Abdomen moderate. Legs: hind tibiae haired

above.

Allied to Lamprosetia Stn., and having very similar oral structure and neuration,

a careful comparison of slides, however, makes evident several small but important

differences, especially in the forewing—vein 11 originates at half the length of the

cell in Anchimacheta, while in Lamprosetia this vein leaves the media within the

basal third; the internal vein is from between 7-8 in Lamprosetia, but it is from

between 6-7 in Anchimacheta and 3-4 are approximate, while 3-7 are remote and

almost equidistant in Lamprosetia.

1. Anchimacheta iodes, sp. n.

The description of A. capnodes Wlsm. (the type of the genus) would apply in all particulars to this species,

with the following exceptions:—In size it is a little smaller, the hindwings are a little narrower, the

mediocostal shade-patch is rather less diffused and rather farther removed from the preceding patch,

but, above all other differences, it can be most easily separated by a strong tinge of light rust-brown

which overspreads the base of the hindwings. Exp, al. 12 mm.

Type 3 (66055); Q (66056) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. [PIT. (66060-1) US. Nat. Mus.]

Hab. Mexico: euerrero: Amula, 6000 ft, VIIl (4. H. Smith). Seven

specimens.

There are five undoubted males of this species in the collection, and two females,

taken at the same time and place, but the females differ in having shorter palpi and

in the absence of the rust-brown shade at the base of the hindwings; their colouring

is perhaps also a little more generally suffused—they cannot be determined with

certainty as belonging to the same species.

greyish fuscous, of which there is a small spot at the base of the costa, followed by a costal patch

reaching to one-fourth, and a transverse median shade, its inner edge somewhat sinuate and curved

outward on the fold, its outer side diffused and diluted, influencing the colour of the rather mottled

wing-surface to the apex and termen; a small costal patch at the commencement of the cilia is

inverted at its lower extremity, with a blackish dot below it, and another, rather larger, in the same

line above the tornus; a few greyish fuscous scales lie around the apex before the dull stone-grey cilia.

3. Anchimacheta tolmetes, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 27.)

Antennae brownish cinereous. Palpi brownish cinereous, shaded externally with brownish fuscous, almost

patch of dark reddish fuscous suffusion near the base, diluted outward nearly to the middle of the costa, and

having an elongate, stone-whitish, dorsal patch at its lower extremity, around which it is diluted to the

flexus and to the middle of the dorsum, blending with the paler ground-colour outward, but reappearing

in a small costal patch at the commencement of the costal cilia, below which are two blackish spots—one

above the other, the lower and larger one, above the tornus, preceded and followed by some few stone-

whitish scales; cilia brownish cinereous. Exzp.al.14mm. Hindwings brownish grey, with a strong

pale rust-brown suffusion at their base. Abdomen brownish cinereous. Legs cinereous.

Type 3 (66050) Mus. Wlsm. (Giodm-Salv. Coll.) BM.

This species agrees with iodes Wlsm. in having a strong pale rust-brown suffusion

at the base of the hindwings, while it differs in the more general suffusion of the

forewings which lack the pale intermediate bands between the darker markings, but

are distinguished by the pale whitish dorsal patch and the suffused dark reddish

fuscous patch at the basal third.

[The four species following have been described az belonging to the genus

Pseudotalara Druce, and included in the Zygaenidae. Pseudotalara Druce (Type:

chrysippa Druce), although originally placed in the Lithosiadae, is a Hyponomeutid,

agreeing in structure with the genus Wieza Wkr., to which genus ‘species 6-9 must

be referred provisionally, but it is quite possible that they may be Zygaenidae

somewhat resembling Pseudotalara in appearance.

Mr. Busck has since examined the Types of these species and refers them all to

3. Atteva ergatica, sp. n.

Antennae leaden grey; basal joint white. Palpi white, tipped with fuscous, a black ring around the median joint.

Head barred alternately with black and yellowish white. Thoraw golden orange; patagia yellowish

white, with a black spot behind each and with two corresponding leaden blue spots at the posterior

edge uf the thorax; tegulae golden orange. Forewings golden orange, with dark leaden blue shining

bands and patches, each containing several yellowish white spots; the first, at the base, leaving a

small spot of the orange ground-colour at the base of the costa, extends across the wing, with two costal,

two median, and two dorsal spots—the two median and the first dorsal coalescing; the second band,

before the middle, slightly attenuate toward each margin, and eontaining four pairs of opposite spots

in two nearly parallel lines; scarcely beyond the middle is a short quadrate costal patch, containing two

pairs of opposite spots, the lower pair sometimes coalescing and the patch becoming triangular and

nearly touching the upper extremity of a large head-shaped dorsal patch, beyond the middle, the nose

pointing outward—this contains eight or nine spots, seven or eight following the outline, the remaining

spot central (sometimes two of the outer spots coalesce); before the apex is another quadrate costal

patch, larger than the one preceding it, and containing seven or eight spots, sometimes broken and

irregular, while beyond and below this, on the lower half of the termen, is a smaller patch containing a

few more or less coalescent spots; cilia tawny leaden grey. Hwp. al. 22-27 mm. Hindwinys semi-

transparent, tawny leaden grey, subiridescent between the more darkly marked veins, the apex and

dorsum rather more thickly scaled, and therefore darker than the remainder of the wing; cilia bronzy.

Abdomen fuscous; underside white. Legs purplish fuscous, with white spots at the ends of the tibiae

and on the tarsi.

The underside of the thorax is spotted with yellowish white on a black ground, and,

like its closely allied congeners, its colouring renders it a good imitation of some of

the Vespidae. It is nearly allied to floridana Nmgn. and aurea Fitch—indeed, it is

intermediate between them ; from the former it differs in the greater restriction of the

golden orange ground-colour, and from the latter in the narrower and more distinctly

separated bands and blotches, which leave the orange ground-colour to occupy a larger

area. The larva of floridana is known to be quite distinct from that of aurea [vide

Dyar Jr. NY. Ent. Soc. 5 48 (1897)], and although the several species are extremely

similar they can be separated consistently—perhaps more easily by sight than by

description.

5. Atteva microsticta, sp.n. (Tab. EX. fig. 30.) | |

Antennae blackish at the base, fading outward, a white line along the upper side toward the apex. Palpi

black, with some sprinkling of white scales toward the outer end of the median joint and on the base

of the terminal. Head black, with some pale yellowish hair-scales on the crown and around the neck.

Thorax blackish in the middle, edged with white posteriorly ; tegulae reddish orange. Forewings dark

greenish purple, spotted with yellowish white, and bearing eight reddish orange patches tending to

divide the ground-colour into transverse spotted bands ; the first is at the base of the costa; the second

not quite touching the costa at one-fourth, and nearly confluent with a longer, upright, opposite dorsal

patch ; the third, just before the middle of the costa, produced downward on the cell, but not reaching .

the apex of a triangular opposite dorsal patch; the fourth, also costal, preceding a rather inwardly

oblique erect tornal patch, and the fifth covering the apex—the other three being dorsal as above -

described; the spots on the intermediate dark bands are smaller and more numerous than in pustulella

F., which like others of the genus it greatly resembles, but this character at once distinguishes it—

a notable instanee is that whereas on the lower two-thirds of the second band pustuletla has four or five

spots, one above an opposite pair with two sometimes confluent below, this species has seven spots

arranged in a circle of six around a central one. Exp. al.28 mm. Hindwings dark purplish grey.

[In 1897 the fall synonymy of pustulella F. and allied forms was given under the

heading of Atteva punctella Cram. & Stoll with the following note:

‘** Grote seems to have been of the opinion that three species are represented in the

above synonymy .(which if distinct should receive the following names :—aurea Fitch,

United States; gemmata Grt., West Indies; punctella Cram., 8. America); on the

other hand, Riley and Berg considered that these names represent but a single species.

I give the synonymy as I find it, withholding my own views until I have had the

opportunity of studying more material” (Wlsm. Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897 112-3 sp. 139).

One error occurs in this synonymy: gemmata Grote and the Cuban references

should be eliminated, these pertain to the species recorded as Atteva fastuosa Z.

(Wlsm: Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897 113 sp. 141) which must be known as Atteva gemmata

Grote (=fastuosa Z.)—at present this has only been taken in Cuba, and Ruatan Island,

in the Gulf of Honduras. ‘The references to Atteva aurea Fitch (=compta Clms.)

—the form well-known in the United States, extending southward to British Hon-

duras, and .also recorded as from Canada—must also be eliminated as belonging to

a species distinct from Atteva pustulella F. (= Qpunetella Stoll ;=subtilis Hb.).

Fabricius proposed the neonym Tinea pustulella F. in lieu of §Phalaena Tinea punctella

Stoll (1781), evidently because this was absolutely homonymous with Phalaena Tinea

punctella L. (1761—Fn. Suec. 368 sp. 1437), and Hiibner probably proposed his

neonym Crameria subtilis Hb. for the same reason.

Atteva pustulella F. (= §punctella Stoll) ranges from Panama to Argentina, and

occurs also in the West Indies; it is recorded as feeding on Ailanthus glandulosa

Desv. and Castela erecta Turp., both belonging to the Simarudeae.

arise as to the application of Jdiostoma Wlsm. It should be noted, that although

correction in the generic description of the South African Type of Jdioglossa bigemma

that the neonym Jdiostoma Wlsm. (=Jdiogiossa Wism., olim, Type bigemma Wlsm.)

HOMODOXUS, gen. n.

(vpodofos==of the same opinion.)

Type: Homodoxus aristula Wlsm. (Tab. X. fig. 15.)

Antennae #, simple, stout and somewhat flattened. Labial Palpi curved, ascending, projecting a little beyond

the head; both joints somewhat flattened and dilated with closely packed svales, terminal joint short.

Mawillary Palpi minute. Haustellum weak. Ocellt obsolete. Head and face densely clothed with

somewhat appressed hair-seales. Thorax smooth. Forewinys elongate, obtusely lanceolate : neuration

11 veins, all separate (apparently 8 obsulete), 7 to costa; 2 from near angle of cell. Hindwings 1,

obtusely lanceolate ; cilia almost 3: neuration 8 veins, all separate; 5-6 somewhat approximate at base.

Abdomen moderate. Legs: hind tibiae with long hairs above.

Probably most nearly allied to Tiguadra Wkr., with which it agrees in the general

form of the head and palpi, but differs in having only 11 veins in the forewings,

a radial vein (probably 8) being obsolete—alliance with Lindera Blanchard is perhaps

also indicated.

HOMODOXUS.—TIQUADRA. 355

1. Homodoxus aristula, sp. n. (Tab. X. fig. 15.)

Antennae white. Palpi white, the median joint with a dark fuscous shade externally, extending to the end

of the joint along its upper edge. Head and Thoraw white. Forewings shining, white, with a series of

seven fuscous spots along the costa, all of which become rich metallic-peacock-green immediately below

the margin—the first, close to the base, is larger than the second; the third, at one-fourth from the

base, forms the upper extremity of a transverse fascia, dilated obliquely backward to the dorsum ;

the fourth, tending obliquely outward, is shortly produced along the cell; the fifth, about the middle,

is small; the sixth forms the upper extremity of a conspicuous, widely dilated, transverse fascia, tending

obliquely inward to the middle of the dorsum, its margins somewhat sinuate ; the seventh, small and

triangular, before the apex—these markings are all clearly defined, and are brilliant iridescent-peacock-

green, except on the costa; cilia white. Exp. al, 14-24mm. Hindwings white, with a slight greyish

ochreous tinge; cilia white. Abdomen greyish ochreous. Legs white, the anterior and median pairs

with three dark greyish fuscous bands.

Curtis proposed the neonym Phycita because “ Phycis having been long employed

to designate a group of fishes, it cannot be retained with propriety.” Phycis Artedi

(1738) is too early, and Jordan and Evermann [Bull. US. Nat. Mus. 47 2552 (1898) |

adopt Urophycis Gill (1863) in lieu of § Phycis Schneider, Bloch’s Syst. Ichth. 1801 56,

because this is ‘ not Phycts Fabricius 1798 a genus of Lepidoptera.”

508 HETEROCERA.

The genonym Phycis F. is valid and must be used for either boletella F. or

spissicella F. Ochsenheimer was certainly justified in limiting the application of

Phycis to the Tineid, and Zincken’s arguments are fallacious, for Fabricius’ description

was obviously based on doletelia F., and not on spissicella F.

Curtis founded the genus Phycita on Tinea spissicella F. (tspicicella Crt.) and cited

this species as his Type—the genonym Phycita Crt. was adopted by Ragonot in his

Monograph of the Phycitinae, and has since been generally used in that family.

a vinous tinge is visible wherever the scales are removed—these blotches commence at the base, where

the dark colour nearly reaches the costa, but does not extend to the dorsum, at one-fourth its lower

half is connected upward with the inner angle of a quadrate median blotch, extending from the costa

nearly to the dorsum; this is again produced outward on its lower half forming a broad, somewhat

Antennae smoky brown, biserrate toward apex, with a broad whitish band near the base; basal joint black.

Palpi black on their outer sides, paler within; the median joint slightly fringed beneath, the terminal -

joint shorter, obtuse. Hezd rough; black, face smoky. Thorax white. Forewings white, with dark

smoky brown elongate patches on costa and dorsum, the two on the costa being narrower than those

on the dorsum; the first costal blotch extends from the base along the upper edge of the cell to fully

one-third of the wing-length; the second costal, beginning narrowly before the middle, expands to

an oblique angle beyond the end of the cell, and is succeeded bya short oblique costal streak of the same

colour, between two broader streaks of white; on the dorsum, the first patch, commencing near the base,

terminates in an outwardly oblique angle, opposite to the end of the first costal patch; it is separated

from the second dorsal patch by a narrow oblique white band, the second patch extending to the com-

mencement of the cilia, its outer edge sinuate, and its upper extremity caudate; a small brown spot, at

the commencement of the cilia, emits a slender line to the apex, parallel with the white termen—it forms

a slight angle before meeting a similar brown line, which marks the base of the costal cilia, the

space before it slightly shaded with smoky ochreous; cilia smoky brownish around the apex, whitish

toward the tornus. Exp. al. 13 mm. Hindwings reddish grey; cilia grey. Abdomen reddish grey.

2. Choropleca boviceps, sp. n.

Antennae bronzy brown, the basal joint spotted with white, with four bands of white annulations alternating

° with dark brown bands—the first consists of seven or eight white rings; the second, of four; the third, of

two; and the fourth, before the brown apex, of two or three. . Palpi porrect, the median joint roughened

beneath, brown externally, white on its inner side and at its apex, with a pecten of bristles on the

outer side; terminal joint stout, obtuse, densely but smoothly clothed, white, with a brown half-ring

beneath. Head somewhat rough; brownish cinereous. Thorax white, shaded with bronzy brown

across the front and behind the middle. Forewings white, much suffused with bronzy brown, of which

a large costal blotch extends across the outer half of the cell, the costa being of the same colour

throughout, but intersected by about five outwardly oblique white streaks—two before the middle, and

two, less widely separated and tending to converge at their points, before the costal cilia; the dorsal

portion is somewhat less suffused, and exhibits three outwardly oblique streaks of dark bronzy brown—

one before the middle, one at the middle, and one about the tornus ; In a patch of the white ground-

CHOROPLECA. 367

colour, which succeeds the median shade, is a short dark brown length-streak accompanied by some

bright yellow ochreous scaling, this is succeeded by three dark brown spots—one at the apex, partially

colouring the cilia beyond it, and two on the termen, not influencing the hoary greyish terminal cilia;

these dark spots are all preceded by some bright yellow-ochreous scaling, which is also to be found,

although less conspicuous, around and above the two outer dorsal streaks. Exp.al.14 mm. Hind-

wings at least as broad as the forewings; shining, brownish grey; eilia greyish cinereous. Abdomen

shining, light greyish brown. Legs whitish, with grey hairs above the tibiae, the tarsal joints being

also broadly banded with grey.

Greatly resemblitg 6535 visaliella Chmb., but differing in the greater extension of

the dark patch at the base of the costa; in the two parallel white costal streaks

before the apex being distinctly farther apart; and in the extension of the white

apical dot into an elongate white marginal spot. ‘The specimen of visaliella Chmb.

(33756) with which this is compared is much smaller than doviceps; size, however,

counts for little in this group, and there is a possibility that bovrceps may be a more

developed southern form of visaliella—but the dark blotch, beyond the middle of the

forewing of visaliella, sends out two tooth-like excrescences on the outer side, while in

boviceps it is found that the lower of these excrescences is detached, forming a small

isolated spot.

3. Choropleca germana, sp. n.

Antennae white, annulate with dark bronzy fuscous. Palpi short, drooping, white; median joint roughly

hoary greyish. Thorax silvery white posteriorly, clouded in front with dark bronzy fuscous. orewings

silvery white, much suffused with dark bronzy fuscous, with some golden ochreous scaling intermixed,

across the middle and towards the apex; three pairs of silvery white, outwardly oblique, geminated

costal streaks are made conspicuous by the dark bronzy intermediate spaces, the space between the

second and third pair being wider than that preceding the second; some silvery white spots around

the apex and termen are also rendered somewhat conspicuous by the dark bronze, mixed with golden

ochreous scales, which precedes and separates them; cilia grey, tipped with whitish along the termen.

Mr. Busck and Mr. Knab observed the cases of the larva of this species in Mexico

and in Panama, where they were common on nearly every house—both agree that the

larvae feed on dead insect-remains in spiders’ webs. They would appear to be rather

scavengers than injurious to clothing in Central America, but on the other hand

Mr. A. Schulz noted in Pard that they were very injurious to clothing in houses.

LIPOMERINX Wlsm.

(Aeirw =to lack ; pypeyf=a bristle.)

Type: Lipomerinx prismatica Wlsm. (Tab. X. fig. 23.)

Antennae %, simple. Labial Palpi ascending, median joint thickly clothed, with dense, short, compressed

brush; terminal joint thickened with scales, short, deflexed. Mamillary Patpi folded, Haustellum

weak. Head densely rough-haired. Thorax smooth. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex

depressed, round-pointed, termen obliquely rounded: neuration 12 veins, all separate ; 7 to costa.

Hindwings 1+, apex depressed, termen obliquely rounded: neuration 8 veins, all separate; 4 nearer

to 5 than to 3. Abdomen rather long. Legs: hind tibiae long-haired above.

LIPOMERINX.—TEGETICULA. 369

Allied to Tinea L., with which it agrees in general appearance and neuration, but

differs in the form of the palpi and in the absence of the setae at the end of the

median joint, which are so characteristic of Tinea—it also differs in the very short,

deflexed termina] joint.

1. Lipomerinx prismatica, sp. n. (Tab. X. fig. 23.)

Antennae and Palpi dark brown. Head dark ferruginous, Z'horax dark brown. Forewings dark brown,

with a dark ferruginous streak along the outer half of the cell, extending beyond it to the middle of the

termen, a shade of the same colour running along the fold from the base, but not reaching the dorsum,

also a slight subcostal shade near the apex—these are rendered inconspicuous by blending with the

ground-colour, to which a bluish gloss is also imparted, about the terminal and dorsal portions of the

wing, by numerous dots of steel-blue metallic scales (visible only with the lens); cilia bright, shining,

iridescent bronze-colour, mixed along their base with tawny ferruginous and steel-blue. Exp. al. 15-

25 mm. Hindwings bronzy brownish, with a faint purplish gloss; cilia pale brownish cinereous,

darker along their basal third, and tipped with shining bronze about the apex. Abdomen brown.

Legs brownish cinereous.

In the ¢ the dark spots, or reticulations, are extremely variable in extent and

diffusion, but can usually be traced as originating in four patches along the costa,

more or less produced in an outwardly oblique direction to, or toward, the dorsum,

the termen being also margined with brown, including the cilia. The patches are

more or less interrupted, or diffused, in different varieties, sometimes becoming almost

obliterated and reduced to faint bands of scattered brown scales—sometimes confluent

along the wing-middle, and leaving the pale ground-colour in the form of diffused

marginal spots. In the 2 (of which, however, there are only four specimens in a

series of considerably over a hundred) the pattern seems to be more clearly defined

and consistent; a pale ochreous band, inwardly oblique from costa to flexus, some-

times partially confluent with a short dorsal streak crossing the fold; three straight

costal streaks of varying lengths, sometimes followed by a spot before the apex, a spot

before the tornus, and another above and beyond it, opposite to the middle of the

termen. The hindwings and cilia are tawny brownish, darker in the @ than in the ¢.

DYSOPTUS Wlsm.

(Svcorros=hard to see.)

Type: Dysoptus probata Wism. (Tab. X. fig. 25.)

Antennae (¢ ) 3, serrate and shortly biciliate. Labial Palpi stout, recurved nearly to the vertex ; basal joint

well-developed, median as long as terminal—all closely clothed beneath. Maxillury Palpi and

Haustellum obsolete. Head and face smooth, somewhat loosely scaled. Thorax smooth. Forewings

rather broad, rounded at apex, termen oblique, tornus rounded : neuration 11 veins (10 absent); 7 to

‘costa; 8-9 stalked, rest separate. Hindwings 1, termen obliquely rounded: neuration 8 veins, all

separate. Abdomen (? ) rather stout, with long silky clothing on anal segments. Leys (broken).

This species appears to be allied to Lampronia Stph., from which it differs in the

absence of the haustellum and labial palpi, and also in having but eleven veins in the

forewings, 8-9 being stalked. Dysoptus agrees with Greya Busck in having only

eleven veins, but differs in 7-8 being stalked and also in its smooth head.

1. Dysoptus probata, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 25.)

Antennae and Palpi dull ochreous. Head brownish ochreous. ' Forewings testaceous, with a strong lilac

gloss and several washed-out pale whitish ochreous spots and specks; a small one on the upper edge

near the base, a larger one, before the middle of the costa, reduplicated obliquely outward beneath in the

direction of a larger discal spot of the same colour near the end of the cell—this crosses the cell, another

spot occurring below it slightly nearer to the base; a little beyond the cell a series of small obscure spots

is curved outward and backward nearly to the outer extremity of the fold; halfway between the medio-

costal spot and the apex is another small costal spot, while below and beyond it, opposite to the apex

between veins 6 and 7, is another spot; an elongate triangular streak lies on the middle of the termen,

the cilia opposite to it being of the same pale colour, as are also those at the extreme apex—except for .

these two patches the cilia partake of the darker ground-colour of the wings. Exp. al. 16mm, Htnd-

wings almost exactly the same colour as the forewings, although in some lights they appear a little

prowner, these are also speckled with pale whitish ochreous, a semicircle of spots occurring beyond the

end of the cell and an ante-apical spot between veins 6 and 7; cilia concolorous with the wing, with two

pale patches on either side of the apex corresponding with those of the forewings. Abdomen testaceous,

the anal tuft densely hairy.

DIATAGA, gen. n.

(c.aray/) =arrangement.)

Type: Diataga leptosceles Wism. (Tab. X. fig. 26.)

Antennae it, & biciliate 2; basal joint enlarged, with strong pecten. Labial Palpi roughly clothed with

projecting scales on the median joint; terminal joint laterally compressed, short, obtuse, smooth.

Maxillary Palpi long, folded, coarsely scaled. Haustellum rather short. Ocelli absent. Head roughly

clothed with long hair-scales. Z'horaw evenly clothed. Morewings narrow, elongate, the costa raised

beyond the middle, thence again depressed to an evenly rounded apex, termen obliquely rounded:

neuration 12 veins; 8-9 stalked; 10 approximate to9; 7 toapex; g-5 stalked; 3 from angle, 2 remote;

1 basally furcate. Hindwings 1+, apex rounded, termen very obliquely, ¢gnvex, tornus scarcely indicated :

neuration 8 veins, all separate, 5 nearer to 6 than to 4. Abdomen moderate. Legs: hind tibiae and

tarsi long and slender, the tibiae roughly clothed above. sO

A conspicuous genus, easily recognised.

DIATAGA.—ACROLOPHUS. 375

1. Diataga leptosceles, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 26.)

Antennae pale buff-ochreous. Palpi pale buff-ochreous, shaded on their outer side with umber-brown, except

on the terminal joint. Head pale buff-ochreous. Yhoraa umber-brown, with some paler ochreous

scaling. Forewings umber-brown, transversely speckled with darker scales, leaving an elongate pale

ochreous patch on the middle of the costa, and a second one, situated beyond the raised area of the

costa, sometimes broken on its outer half—there is also a small ochreous spot before the apex; cilia

with a pale ochreous line along their base, profusely shaded with umber-brown. E£yp. al. 18-33 mm.

Hindwings greyish brown, with a slight aeneous tinge, contrasting slightly with the forewings, and in

some lights exhibiting a tendency to purple; cilia rather shining, stone-grey. Abdomen umber-brown.

_ Legs whitish ochreous, the tibiae umber-brown along their upper and under sides, the spurs also touched

with umber-brown outwardly.

out that the other species differ in their palpi—this must be taken as a definite removal

of hamiferella Hb. to Acrolophus Poey, and a restriction of Pinaris Hb. to laterella S-D.

(=*heraclella Hb. Tin. 417) and its allies in the Verzeichniss (411 sp. 3961-7 2), in which

Pinaris Hb. [Wlsm. Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1907 955 no. 31 (1908) ], but it will now be well

to avoid future change by adopting Tinea laterella S—D. (=*heraclella Hb. 417; *heracliella

Twenty-seven years ago I published “ A Revision of the Genera Acrolophus Poey and

Anaphora Clem.” [Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1887 137-173 Pl. 7-8 (1887)], defining thirteen

genera, and have since described two more genera as new—these have been generally

accepted and maintained, after further study, by Fernald, Beutenmiiller, Druce, and

Dyar. With a very large accession of material before us it became necessary closely

to examine all doubtful cases and to verify the special points which had been relied

upon in distinguishing the numerous genera established in what has been regarded as

a fairly well-defined family. We approached the subject with a very keen desire not

only to maintain these divisions but, if possible, to find within the group such

characters as would justify their further sub-division, and it was only after a prolonged

struggle on these lines that we were obliged to admit that there could not be found

any character, or combination of characters, on which these genera, or any one of them,

could be maintained in such manner as to be made recognisable either by figure or

description. The intermediate variations were so numerous and so graduai that, apart

from the question of the value of secondary sexual characters, which has been con-

sistently discounted in this paper and the uselessness of which was very specially

illustrated in this particular group, we were driven to seek for differences in neuration

after all other means of distinguishing the genera had been found unreliable. Here,

as in other respects, the disappointment was great. We found that these Acrolophids

were in such an evidently plastic condition that even in the same species, and in some

cases on the two sides of the same specimen, the apical veins, whether 7 and 8, or 8

and 9, were either forked, connate, or separate, apparently without any controlling

rule or fixity of purpose. We were somewhat prepared to find the apical veins variable

in this respect, and it was not until the position of the internal veins of the cell

(medial and radial) had been carefully studied, in relation to the point of origin of the

apical veins running to the costa and termen, that we were forced to abandon any

attempt to define the particular series to which veins 7 and 8 should be assigned.

This was found to be fairly consistent up to a certain point, and for some time we felt

justified in retaining the genus Caenogenes, upon the ground that 7 and 8 were stalked

from below the internal radial, but even this distinction ultimately broke down, and

in one species forrert we found that vein 8 was sometimes stalked with 7, sometimes

stalked with 9, sometimes separate from both, and at other times connected with either

in varying degrees, moreover 7+8 originated sometimes from below and sometimes

from above the internal radial. In one specimen of another species, cleptica ( 3 66895),

not only 7 and 8, but 9 and 10 also were distinctly stalked.

Therefore, much against our united inclination and efforts, it has been necessary

to regard the so-called Acrolophidae (with two exceptions) as one large genus, and to

rely upon such differences, as had hitherto been regarded of generic value, for the

purpose only of separating the very numerous species within it—the form of the genital

segments will be found at least as useful for that purpose as any other character.

After dismissing the attempt to found any separate genera on the radial neuration

of the forewings, it may yet be doubtful whether the cubital veins do not afford reliable

characters for such separation. In two species only have we found veins 2-3 ef the

forewings stalked. These two species differ in their radial neuration, and although

the long recurved and hirsute palpi of the ¢ ¢ are characteristic of Acrolophus, it

seems desirable, for the present at least, to retain Urbara Wkr.*—represented by a

single injured specimen (FW: 12 veins ; 7-8 stalked, 7 to costa; 2-3 stalked. HW:

8 veins; 3-4 connate; 6-7 connate)—if only to call special attention to this very

exceptional character by which it may be recognised. The other instance of the same

character is found in Apoclisis rupestris W1sm.**, a J amaican species, which however

differs in having veins 7-8 of the forewings separate. (Wlsm. MS. VIII. 1908.)

fuscous and ochreous scales. Forewings white, mottled with pale olive-grey, alternating with bright

yellow ochreous speckling and a few black scales; along the costa the bright yellow-ochreous somewhat

prevails, but immediately below it and over the greater portion of the outer two-thirds, as far as the

lower edge of the cell, it becomes mixed, in almost even proportions, with olive-grey mottling which

only appears unmixed with ochreous on a rather broad white space preceding the termen; along the

dorsum the olive-grey shade is somewhat darker, but does not extend to the tornus—some ochreous

scales are mixed with it, and these prevail in two rounded excrescences overlapping the fold, with some

black scales around their margins, the outer one of these is at about the middle of the dorsum ; there

The Type of echinon Druce exhibits two, somewhat unusually clear, white spots a

little above the fold; the first triangular, at about one-third the wing-length, its apex

pointing downward toward the fold, its base resting on the lower edge of the cell, this

is somewhat clearly outlined by the dark fuscous space which precedes it and, passing

around its apex, separates it by a broad oblique band from a similar and also rather

triangular spot, preceding vein 2 and resting on the outer end of the fold with its

apex upward. There are a few whitish scales also at the end of the cell, but not

conspicuous; the darker colouring has a tendency to assume the form of lines

following the neuration, as described, but imparts also to the whole wing-surface,

above and beyond the white spots, a somewhat speckled appearance—the white spots

themselves are less conspicuous (more blurred) in another specimen from near Durango

City (67064). The uncus is double, curved over, not angulated, and reaching to the

ends of the claspers, which are straight along their upper edge and somewhat dilated

and rounded beneath._—W|sm. MS. 815/1904.

dark fuscous costal streaks and spots, and some suffusion of the same beneath the costa and toward the

termen, becoming confluent with the usual series of three or four darker patches, the paler dorsal band,

throwing up two angular projections, is also well indicated; other specimens show that the species is

capable of much variation—it has a tendency to exhibit slender lines of snow-white scales, but these do

not appear on all specimens, probably because these scales are loosely attached, and thus very fugitive-—

in one very perfect example there is a continuous line along the fold, from near the base, and another,

somewhat broken, following the lower edge of the cell: and diverted from the cell along vein 2 to the

tornus, a few scattered scales distributed from thence across the wing, nearly to the costa. zp. al.

Very close to 6588 arizonella Wlsm.; it differs in the pale costal line being more

distinctly interrupted by dark spotting, and in the absence of the pale line marking

the termen at the base of the cilia; moreover, the dark wing-markings are much more

Anaphora punctata Druce Ann-Mag. NH. (7s) ‘7 443 (1991) -

This species is characterised by a curved, irregular, dark streak, produced from the lower angle of the cell,

which, after approaching the termen below the apex, reverts nearly to the costa, and forms, as it were,

a continuous chain with the large and conspicuous dark plical patch. The uncus is double, the points

slightly divergent, and at right-angles with the stem, which is somewhat produced and angular at the

point of bending, reaching as far as the ends of the spoon-shaped claspers,— Wlsm. MS. 812/1904.

ACROLOPHUS.—SARROTHRIPUS. 401

This species invariably possesses a few scattered single white scales, tipped with

black—these are very irregularly distributed, but usually.to be found, even in worn

specimens, above and below the fold. These white scales occur in the Type, as also

in seven other specimens examined, including a pale variety from Jalapa (2 4740

Mus. Wlsm.) in which the dark blotches are reduced to small, but somewhat clearly

defined spots, the one nearest the base being absent.

Antennae serrate; fuscous. Palpi, ¢ strongly recurved, overarching to the middle of the thorax, each joint

separately tufted ; ochreous, shaded with fuscous on the outer side of each joint; 9 projecting more ~

than the length of the head beyond it, cinereous, or ochreous, outwardly shaded with fuscous. Head

ochreous, mixed with fuscous. Thorax fuscous. Forewings elongate; ochreous, shaded with fuscous ;

the fuscous spots along the costa are more or less distinctly continued across the wing as inwardly oblique

strigulae ; the usual three spots are traceable, one at about one-third, a second at the end of the cell,

and a third plical, but these are connected by a broad fuscous suffusion, which, starting from the first.

discal, occupies the lower half of the cell and expands to the tornus; the ochreous ground-colour is most

noticeable along the dorsum, and toward the apex; cilia ochreous, shaded with fuscous. Aap al, 25-

34 mm. Hindwings fuscous; cilia with a darker line near their base. -Abdomen fuscous: genitalia,

uncus double, bent over, the points slender and slightly diverging, not reaching to the ends of the rather

slender claspers which are strongly arched upward from the base, their upper margin being bent inward

along the descending curve and forming an angle with the outer edge. which is somewhat excavate.

In the Zutrage Exot. Schm. (3 14-15) Hiibner uses Pinaris Hb. for Pinaris hami-

ferella Hb. Ztr. 441-2, and “ P. heracliella Hiibn. 417 ” [@. e. laterella S-D.]. The

preface to the “ Drittes Hundert” of the Zutrige is dated “ Augsburg den 27 August

1825,” and the Title is also dated 1825. Page 411 of Hiibner’s Verzeichniss, on which

Pinaris Hb. (sp. 3961-72) is printed, forms part of sig. 26, which was published before

January 1827, and is assumed to have been issued in 1826. Unless more definite dates

can be obtained, we must take it that Pinaris Hb. Zutrage (1825) appeared before

Pinaris Hb. Verzeichniss (1826), although the genus was evidently founded in the

Verzeichniss, which does not include hamiferella Hb., and of which “ P. heracliella.

Hubn. Tin. 417” was species no. 3968. Poey, in 1832, removed hamiferella Hb. to

his new genus Acrolophus, and restricted Pinaris Hb. to the Verzeichniss species (vide

ante pp. 376-6). In 1808, and in 1812 (ante pp. 135-6), Tinea arenella S-D. was cited

as the Type of Pinaris; this is a possible type for the Verzeichniss (1826), but not for

the Zutrage (1825), and further change will be avoided by adopting as the Type Tinea

laterella S-D. (=Aeracliella Hb.) which occurs in both publications, and which was

actually constituted the Type of the Zutrage by Poey in 1832.

2. Sochchora dotina, sp. n.

Antennae black, with small white bars above, except on the terminal half. Palpi erect, ferruginous;

the slender terminal joint shorter than the median, clouded with dark brownish fuscous. Head and

Thoraw dark brownish ferruginous, the latter with a posterior patch of shining pale ferruginous.

Forewings dark ferruginous, sparsely speckled with white scales and clouded along the margins and

on the outer third with black, which forms a strong triangular spot beyond the middle preceding a

faintly indicated pale ferruginous fascia, beyond which the apical and tornal lobes, both narrowly |

margined with black, are much suffused with blackish on a darker ferruginous ground than that of

the remainder of the wing; terminal cilia rather pale ferruginous, with smoky interruptions. Hp. al.

14 mm. Hindwings light ferruginous, suffused with smoky blackish outward, the posterior lobe with

a blackish scale-patch on its dorsum before the middle. Abdomen bright ferruginous, a narrow

whitish transverse bar near the base; anal segment smoky. Legs bright ferruginous, clouded, especially

on the spurs and tarsi, with smoky blackish.

This appears to agree with the variety of Sochchora donatella Wkr., but is certainly

distinct from his Type, which does not possess the brilliant ferruginous colouring of

the legs and body. |

spot precedes the fissure, but a dark brown costal shade lies above and scarcely beyond its base, closely

succeeded by a smaller costal spot of the same colour ; the outer half of each lobe is deeply shaded with

dark umber-brown, a single pale transverse line crossing the apical lobe before its lower angle, and two

slender pale transverse lines cutting the dark shade on the tornal lobe, but not reaching the margins ;

the first, about the middle of the lobe, is very faint, the second, at a little distance from the termen

being more visible; cilia very pale whitish ochreous, a curved dark line from the apex to its lower angle

increases the uncate appearance of the apical lobe, its dorsal cilia much spotted and shaded with dark

umber-brown, almost fuscous ; the upper margin of the tornal lobe is strongly shaded with the same

colour, except at its extremities, a similar dark curved basal shade running through its terminal and

tornal cilia, the dorsal cilia of the wing being dotted with dark spatulate scales, Zyp. al. 20-25 mm.

Hindwings dark brown, with scarcely paler brown cilia; the cilia on the hind lobe thickly studded with

dark spatulate scales throughout its length—these scales somewhat longer along the middle than toward

through scattered sprinkling of white scales, with slender white lines following the principal veins;

of these one immediately below the costa, from the base to the commencement of the fissure, is

reduplicated by a second line below it from the base to a white costal patch beyond the middle of the

apical lobe ; this patch extends from the costa to two-thirds of the width of the lobe, and is produced at

its lower edge in a white line to the apex, separated by the dark ground-colour very narrowly from a

slender white line along the posterior margin of the lobe; cilia brownish, interrupted by white scaling,

broadly opposite to the costal patch, and again narrowly beyond it; the tornal lobe has a slender white

line along each margin, the lower one produced to the base of the wing; cilia brownish, twice

The specimens from Guatemala tend to develop a second fascia, somewhat obliquely

placed, between the usual transverse markings and the base of the wing. ‘The white

portions of the wing are also somewhat more dusted with golden brown than in the

Type (from Espirito Santo), but one would not be justified in separating them merely

on this account. It is not improbable that more species than one may be discriminated

in an extended series, in which case the markings on the abdomen (unfortunately

missing in the Type) may probably be of value in distinguishing them. In Jamaica

the species was usually found in shady places among high brush-wood.

Antennae pale cinereous, barred with greyish fuscous above. Palpi extending the length of the head beyond

it; pale cinereous, with a fuscous spot at the end of the median joint, another on the terminal beneath.

Head pale cinereous, with two narrow transverse fuscous bars. Thorax pale cinereous, speckled with

fuscous. Fore- and Hindwings pale cinereous, with fuscous and some blackish speckling ; the wings are

marked with the usual sinuate greyish fuscous bands, more or less outlined with whitish cinereous

specks, but hetween them the intermediate space is occupied by a pale yellow ochreous band, more

clearly defined on the fore- than on the hindwings ; there is also a narrower stripe of the same colour

beyond the outer fuscous band; these bands are all gently sinuate, without noticeably prominent

projections; the bases of the lobes of the hindwings are minutely reticulate with blackish scaling,

a blackish spot lying at the junction of the anterior two lobes. Exp. al. 10-11 mm. Abdomen greyish

fuscous. Legs whitish cinereous.

Although these specimens are somevhat smaller (16 mm.) than Zeller’s Type from

Ubaque (18 mm.}, the position of the markings is precisely similar, and one could

not venture to separate them, as the more southern form is represented by only

a single specimen.

4. Orneodes acalles, sp. n.

Antennae pale whitish ochreous, slightly barred with brown toward the base. Palpi long, projecting

slightly upward ; whitish, much shaded with brown on the outer side of the rather roughened median

joint, and with a dark fuscous band around the middle of the shorter terminal joint. Head and Thorax

whitish ochreous, sprinkled with brownish. Forewings pale yellowish ochreous, dotted with white, and

banded with dark brown fading into golden brown; the brown bands are two, one a little beyond the

middle, arising straight from the dorsum across four lobes and thenee diverted obliquely outward to

the apical lobe ; the second, before the termen, parallel with the first; these bands are formed by the

darkening of the cilia on both sides of the lobes, and do not greatly affect the colouring of the lobes

themselves, they are bounded on either side by narrow white lines, affecting not only the cilia but the

lobes themselves; the basal half of the outer band is distinctly dark brown, its outer half pale golden

brown. LEvp. al. 16 mm. Hindwings paler than the forewings, the yellowish ochreous colour being

reduced, the brownish bands almost faded-out, while the white scaling is considerably increased on the

lobes and cilia ; several dark brown, almost blackish, dots along the former give a prettily speckled

appearance to the wing, and there is a very distinct dark brown patch before the apex of the apical and

subapical lobes but affecting only the cilia of the subapical lobe on its upper margin—this patch corre-

sponds to the outer dark band on the forewings, but is not continued. Abdomen pale ochreous, Legs

white.

5. Orneodes panolbia, sp. n.

Antennae whitish. Palpi with the median joint extending the length of the head beyond it; dark brownish

fuscous tipped with whitish ; the terminal joint almost erect, half as long as the median, whitish, with

a broad brownish fuscous band around the middle. Head whitish ochreous, mottled with brownish

fuscous. Thorax brownish fuscous, the tegulae tipped with whitish ochreous. forewings with the

usual mottled appearance ; the apical lobe divided into alternate spaces of dark brownish fuscous and

pale yellowish ochreous, these colours separated from each other by narrow lines of white, some straight,

some oblique, its dorsal cilia brownish fuscous, with two white dots, but no ochreous; the distinguishing

character of the remainder of the wing is a broad brownish fuscous median band narrowly edged with

white, dilated inward on the tornal and supratornal lobes, this is partially continued through the hind-

wings, but only in the form of narrow spots on the three anterior lobes, becoming dilated on the three

posterior lobes to its greatest width on the dorsum; the base of both wings, preceding this band, is

mottled with brownish fuscous, mixed with whitish and some pale ochreous, with a white spot on the

base of the dorsum of the forewings; beyond the band the same colours are reproduced in succession on

each lobe, the dark brown again forming a narrow band, augmented inward on the median lobe and

attenuated inward to the dorsum on the tornal lobe; this band is also continued through the hindwings,

conspicuously on the apical and subapical lobes, angulated inward on the median and again dilated

inward more widely on the tornal lobe; the apical and subapical lobes are also tipped with brownish

fuscous and the pale ochreous colouring is less in evidence on the hind- than on the forewings, while the

white bars across the lobes are rather broader and more conspicuous; the cilia between the lobes,

although mottled with brown, have, in a strong light, a pale bluish sheen, where they appear pale

between the brown spots, but the cilia of the tornal lobe of the hindwings are almost entirely brownish,

except near the apex. Evp.al.19 mm. Abdomen dark brownish fuscous, with a few white scales

above; white beneath. Leys whitish.

Dyar’s tabulation (23 August 1913) was published a few days before Hampson’s

tabulation and description (1 September 1913), and, since there is sufficient descriptive

matter in Dyar’s tabulation to establish a species, mesodonta must stand as Dyar’s

species, founded on the specimens from Costa Rica which Schaus labelled as

mesodonta Hmsn.!

TINEINA.

Fam, 1. LAVERNIDAE (pp. 1-18).

PAMMECES Z. (p. 11).

Pammeces problema (p. 11), sp. n., Wism.

Antennae simple, with pecten, longer than the forewings; very pale ochreous. Palpit whitish ochreous, the

porrect median joint brush-like above and at the apex beneath ; the longer erect terminal joint smooth,

slender, acute, with a blackish spot beneath a little before the apex. Head and Thorax pale fawn-

ochreous, with a slender whitish ochreous streak along the middle, the tegulae narrowly edged with

whitish ochreous. Forewings very pale fawn-ochreous, the costa narrowly a little paler ; an ill-defined

whitish ochreous streak, along the upper half of the cell, is dilated upward beyond the cell in the

direction of the costa before the apex, where it nearly reaches a slender blackish marginal line at

the base of the whitish ochreous costal cilia; just below the apex is a shorter, slender, inverted blackish

streak, beneath which the terminal cilia are again paler than the pale fawn-ochreous dorsal cilia; a long

slender ochreous hair-pencil depends from the flexus. Hap. al, 21-22 mm. Hindwings shining,

sericeous, whitish ochreous; cilia pale ochreous. Abdomen pale brownish ochreous. Legs whitish

ochreous; tibiae hairy, pale ochreous.
