UNTOMIA. 75 
2. Untomia latistriga, sp.n. (Tab. IT. fig. 30.) 
Antennae whitish ochreous, annulate with dark brown. Palpi white, the median joint black nearly to its 
apex ; terminal joint tipped with black. Head and Thorax whitish ochreous, somewhat suffused with 
brownish fuscous above. Forewings whitish ochreous, a black spot at the base of the costa, produced in a 
narrow line along the costa to beyond one-third, where it is dilated into a broad patch shaded with 
brown along its lower edge, and continued to the commencement of the costal cilia; here is a rather 
widened, obliquely outward-curved, white costal streak, separated by a narrow brown space from a 
smaller, oblique, straight white streak preceding the semicircular black line which follows the margin of 
the evenly rounded apex and termen through the base of the whitish ochreous cilia, which are tipped 
with greyish fuscous ; there is a slight brownish fuscous suffusion along the dorsal half of the wing, and 
this is speckled with darker fuscous, notably in a narrow spot before the middle of the fold and in a short 
oblique patch arising from the flexus. wp. al. 12 mm. Hindwings trapezoidal, slightly dilated 
outward, apex obtuse, termen scarcely emarginate; shining leaden grey; cilia leaden grey, with a 
pale line along their base. Abdomen greyish fuscous. Legs greyish fuscous, with four pale tarsal 
annulations. 
Type 3 (65875) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv, Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Mexico: MoRELOS: Cuernavaca, VI. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
Closely allied to rotundata Wlsm., but differing in its larger size, in the broader 
and more curved first white costal streak, in the absence of a conspicuous dorsal 
patch before the middle and of slender lines of blackish scales above the tornus. 
3. Untomia acuminata, sp.n. (Tab. II. fig. 31.) 
Antennae ivory-white at the base, shaded with fuscous on the outer half. Palpi smooth, recurved, terminal 
joint scarcely more than half as long as the median ; blackish, except on the outer half of the terminal 
joint which is white. Head and Thorax ivory-white. Forewings elongate, narrow, the costa slightly 
raised near the base, thence flat to the somewhat depressed acuminate apex ; ivory-white, with three 
diffused fuscous dorsal patches—the first short at the flexus, the second before the middle, obliquely 
triangular, its apex crossing the fold, a third small and indistinct close to the tornus; along the costa is 
a slender blackish streak at the base, and a narrow outwardly dilated dark brown costal shade beyond 
the middle, through which runs a very oblique white line to a conspicuous black spot at the apex ; 
beneath this spot the cilia are ivory-white, with a small transverse black streak descending through 
them from the apex and nearly joining a streak of brown scales projecting below it from a slender 
terminal line of the same; underside clouded with fuscous, a slender black streak at the extreme apex. 
Exp. al, 13 mm. Hindwings and cilia pale brownish grey, with a whitish spot at the produced apex. 
Abdomen whitish ochreous. Legs white; hind tarsi with black spots. 
Type 5 (65852) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv, Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Mexico: tapasco: Teapa, III. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
4. Untomia rotundata, sp. n. 
Antennae olivaceous fuscous above, white beneath, the tip white. Palpt white, the median joint black nearly 
to its apex; terminal joint as long as the median, slightly smoky around its apex. Head and Thorax 
olive-grey, face white. Forewings with the costa slightly raised near the base, thence straight, apex and 
termen evenly rounded ; whitish ochreous, slightly suflused with brownish olivaceous ; along the base of 
the dorsum is a strong brownish patch reaching to beyond one-third, its outer end becoming nearly 
black, produced upward and outward to a point on the middle of the wing; beyond it above the tornus 
are two or three slender black lines, of which the upper one is curved; the outer half of the costa is 
black, the inner edge of the black patch obliquely defined from a little before the middle, in it are two 
short oblique whitish streaks before the rounded apex, which is marked by a semicircular black line
