Two specimens. 
4. Holcocera hemiteles, sp. n. — 
Antennae pale greyish cinereous. Palpi, terminal joint not more than half median ; pale greyish cinereous, 
the outer side shaded with greyish brown, especially on the median Joint. Head and Z'horax pale 
greyish cinereous. orewings pale cinereous, much speckled and shaded with greyish brown 3a band of 
the pale ground-colour, at about one-third, descending scarcely outward from the costa, is angulate 
backward to the dorsum from a little above the fold, but is scarcely distinguishable from the base of the 
wing; the darker shading beyond it is less intense than in nephalia, and appears to be somewhat more 
broken-up, not only across the middle of the wing, but also in its much diffused and diluted continuation 
beyond; the first discal and plical spots are placed as in nephalza, the latter much suffused, but the 
transverse spot at the end of the cell is divided into two, and the lower one 1s preceded by another spot 
at the lower edge of the cell a little beyond it; the apical portion of the wing 1s much mottled with 
greyish brown shading, among which the pale ground-colour gives a dusted or speckled appearance 
which continues through the pale brownish cinereous cilia. wp. al. 17-18 mm. Hindwings shining, 
pale greyish ; cilia pale brownish cinereous. Abdomen slightly banded with alternate whitish cinereous 
and greyish brown rings. Legs brownish cinereous.

Hab. Guatemata: Totonicapam, 8500-10,500 ft., VIII. 1880 (G. C. Champion). 
Four specimens. 
Resembling nephalia Wlsm. in appearance, but the antennae are only minutely | 
ciliate, not strongly bifasciculate as in that species. 
5. Holcocera homochromatica, sp.n. (Tab. V. fig. 19.) 
Antennae hoary greyish. Palpi brownish grey, sprinkled with hoary scales, a paler ring around the apex 
of the median joint; terminal joint not more than half median. Head and Thorax hoary greyish. 
Forewings hoary greyish, sprinkled with greyish brown scales—sparsely at the base, somewhat more 
thickly on the apical half; a band of the same colour crosses the fold at two-fifths, concave on its inner 
side, ill-defined and gradually diluted externally; the first discal spot is obliterated in this dark band, 
but the usual two at the end of the cell are contiguous, one below the other, and a third ill-defined spot 
touches the margin about the tornus, slightly beyond the lower one ; cilia brownish cinereous, sprinkled 
with hoary scales along their base. Hep. al.14 mm. Hindwings shining, rather pale brownish grey ; 
cilia pale brownish grey. Abdomen shining, pale brownish grey. Legs greyish brown externally, the 
ends of the tibiae and the extremities of the tarsal joints pale brownish cinereous.

Hab. Mexico: @uERRERO: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
Intermediate between teranella Wlsm. and episcia Wlsm., resembling the former in 
markings and the latter in colouring.
