general appearance, but differs from the former in having all the veins present in the 
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 
grey; silvery white beneath. Forewings dull leaden grey at the base, becoming more shining at a little 
distance from it, this colour is continued along the dorsum blending into a shining silvery grey fascia 
beyond the middle which is attenuated and recurved upward to the costa, thus enclosing a broad bronzy 
brown costal patch, its convex lower extremity touching the fold on which it is preceded by a small brown 
spot; in the silvery fascia is also a small elongate brown spot about the end of the cell; the apical 
portion of the wing is bronzy brown, with a shining silver-grey costal spot at the commencement of the 
cilia and a larger shining silver-grey patch arising from the tornus and terminating below and beyond 
the costal spot; cilia brownish cinereous, a dark line running through them near their base parallel with 
the rounded apex. Exp. al. 10 mm. Hindwings greyish brown, the cilia shading to pale cinereous 
toward the apex. Abdomen bronzy brownish, silvery white beneath. Legs bronzy brownish, hind 
tibiae banded and tipped with white, the tarsi with four white annulations.

2. Holophysis stagmatophoria, sp.n. 
Antennae slightly serrate towards the apex; bronzy brown. Palpi pale greyish, shaded with bronzy brown 
along their underside. Head bronzy brown above; face whitish. Thorax shining, bronzy brown. 
Forewings shining, bronzy brown, with brilliant silvery streaks becoming white towards the costa; the 
first of these is at one-fourth, running obliquely outwards from the costa to a little beyond the fold, this 
is almost entirely silvery white; the second is a little beyond the middle, forming an irregular outwardly- 
curved fascia reduplicated on the cell, white on the costa with a slight aeneous tinge beneath it; the 
third forms a slightly oblique spot at the commencement of the costal cilia, a fourth appearing as an 
elongate, slightly aeneous, silvery patch along the termen; cilia about the apex brown, with a slender 
line along their base and a wider one along their middle giving a somewhat caudate appearance, beneath 
the apex the cilia are greyish, partaking of the metallic gloss of the terminal patch. Exp. al. 10 mm. 
Hindwings bronzy brown, slightly paler than the forewings; cilia tipped with greyish. Abdomen 
shining bronzy fuscous, with a white patch beneath, forming two lateral bands at the commencement 
of the dark anal tuft. Legs white; hind tibiae with two broad bands of brownish fuscous, hind tarsi 
with one broad band and three narrower bands of the same; spurs white.

3. Holophysis quadrimaculata, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 26.) 
Antennae greyish fuscous. Palpi whitish cinereous. Head and Thorax greyish fuscous. Forewings dark 
brownish fuscous, with four steel-grey costal streaks, all inclining a little outwards; the first, near the 
base, reaching over the fold; the second at one-fourth not reaching the fold; the third, median, reaching 
to the lower angle of the cell and scarcely separated from a diffused patch of the same colour before 
and beneath it; the fourth at three-fourths of the wing-length, shorter than the others, a line of steel-
