Laverna Crt. is here used for species with Hindwings 8 veins, all separate: Fore- 
wings 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, rest separate: Antennae, basicerite with 
well-developed pecten. 
1. Laverna farinacea, sp. n. 
Antennae mealy grey, annulate with fuscous. Palpi mealy grey, the median joint somewhat expanded at the 
apex; terminal joint about as long as the median, with three fuscous annulations. Head and Thorax 
mealy greyish; face whiter. forewings mealy grey, with transverse reddish cupreous bands in which 
are some slightly raised black scales ; the first band, commencing close to the base of the costa, has its” 
inner edge marked by black scales, and runs obliquely outward to the dorsum, its outer side dilated on 
the cell and ill-defined ; the second, parallel with it, terminates in a spot of raised scales on the dorsum, 
its outer side ill-defined and nearly coalescing with a small triangular costal patch of the same colour 
beyond the middle ; a third band, almost parallel with the termen, runs inward to the dorsum from: the 
costal cilia, and is interrupted by a minute black streak beyond the end of the cell; a dark line follows 
the margin around the apex and termen, giving an angular appearance to the wing, and two slender 
dark lines run through the mealy terminal cilia; the dorsal cilia inclining to cupreous. Exp. al. 9 mm. 
Hindwings and cilia pale greyish cupreous. Abdomen cinereous. Legs whitish cinereous, the tibiae 
and tarsi banded externally with blackish.

Hab. Mexico: evEerRERO: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (H. H. Smith). Five specimens. 
2. Laverna obsessa, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 16.) 
Antennae (2) simple ; fuscous. Palpi evenly recurved, slender ; pale cinereous, the terminal joint as long as 
the median, with a fuscous spot beneath, its apex also fuscous ; median joint fuscous externally nearly 
to its apex. Head bronzy fuscous. Z'horaa: bronzy fuscous anteriorly ; posteriorly pale brassy yellowish. 
Forewings narrow, elongate ; shining, brassy brownish, with a dark purplish grey patch on the costa, 
from the middle to the commencement of the cilia, containing at its lower edge a bright reddish cupreous 
spot in which are some slightly raised scales, a similar spot lying near the end of the fold below and 
before it; there is also a reddish cupreous patch, near the base of the costa, reaching to the fold and 
somewhat produced outward ; the apex and termen are much shaded with dark fuscous, an inverted pale 
brassy yellowish streak separating the apical from the costal shade and running to the dorsum at the 
outer end of the fold. Hap. al.9 mm. Hindwings and cilia pale bronzy fuscous.
