RECURVARIA, 45 
and a few black scales on the outer side of the median. Head white. Thoraa pale fawn-brownish. 
Forewings fawn-brownish, with a lilac tinge (possibly due to abrasion), the costa is slightly shaded along 
the basal half; there is a patch of black raised scales on the dorsum at one-fourth, partially connected 
by blackish scaling along the dorsum, with a second smaller but otherwise similar spot at about two- 
thirds ; cilia fawn-brownish about the apex, with a slight speckled appearance, becoming pale brownish 
grey on the tornus and at the dorsum. xp.al.11mm. AHindwings pale shining silvery grey ; cilia 
pale brownish grey. Abdomen dark brownish grey. Legs whitish, with four black tarsal spots above.

A distinct species. 
8. Recurvaria thysanota, sp. n. (Tab. II. fig. 5.) 
Antennae somewhat stout; cinereous, with faint darker annulations. Palpi chalky-white, the median joint 
somewhat expanded on either side at its apex, shaded with brownish fuscous externally at its base; 
terminal joint about as long as the median, porrect, with two fuscous annulations. Head and Thorax 
chalky-white, the tegulae smeared with brownish fuscous. Forewings chalky-white, somewhat shaded 
and sprinkled with brownish fuscous; a dark brownish fuscous line on the base along the fold and 
another from the middle of the wing to above the apex are blended by brownish shading on the basal 
half of the cell; a small fuscous dot lies a little above the outer extremity of the fold, and there is 
another at the extreme apex; apical and subapical cilia whitish, sprinkled with brownish fuscous ; 
tornal cilia unsprinkled, inclining to brownish ochreous. wp. al. 10 mm. Hindwings nearly as broad 
as the forewings, oblique below the produced apex; g with a conspicuous yellowish ochreous limbal 
hair-pencil; shining, pale steely grey; cilia brownish cinereous, with a slight ochreous tinge. Abdomen 
shining, steel-whitish. Legs whitish cinereous. 
Type & (65786) Mus, Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Mexico: cuerreRo: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
Most nearly allied to juntperella Krft. [Jr. N-Y. Ent. Soc. 11 153, 157-8 Pf. 9° 3, 
17 (1903)], but separable by the limbal hair-pencil, and the slightly different 
markings, 
4, Recurvaria flagellifer, sp. n. 
Antennae pale brownish fuscous. Palpi white, the median joint black nearly to its apex on the outer side, 
but not within nor above; terminal joint with two blackish annulations. Head and Yhoraw dirty 
whitish, the latter sprinkled with brownish fuscous. Forewings dirty whitish, profusely sprinkled with 
brownish fuscous, with numerous small spots of pale, slightly raised. scales; the fuscous clouding tends 
to assume the form of oblique shades descending outward from the costa, but these are so confused and 
ill-defined that they do not constitute true bands or fasciae, nor do they reach the dorsum; the first of 
these is near the base and can be traced to the fold and a little beyond it; the second is a little before 
the middle, rather less oblique, but in some specimens more strongly marked than the first; the third 
consists mainly of a larger dark fuscous cloud before the commencement of the costal cilia, and opposite 
to this is a smaller patch on the dorsum, the terminal portion of the wing being also more or less 
suffused ; cilia of the same colour as the wing-surface, with the same speckled appearance. Hxp. al. 
11-13 mm. AHindwings shining, pale greyish; cilia shining, brownish ochreous; ¢ with strong bright 
ochreous flexal hair-pencil. Abdomen brownish fuscous, Legs dirty whitish, with fuscous tarsal shade- 
‘bands.
