COSMOPTERYX. 9) 
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, 
the inner margin slanting outward, entire, with a black dot above its middle within the band, the outer 
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, 
banded with white; an oblique white streak before the ends of the tibiae externally. 
Type $ (65993) Mus. W1sm. (Godm-Salv. Coil.). 
Hab. Mexico: tapasco: Teapa, IIL. (A. H. Smith). Unique. 
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. 
Type 2 (65996) Mus. Wlsm, (Godm-Salv. Coll.). 
Hab. Mexico: tasasco: Teapa, III. (H. H. Smith), Unique. 
Much resembling attenuatella Wkr., but the projection from the yellow band is not 
nearer to the costa than to the dorsum and there are no strigulae on head or thorax.
