29. Stenoma petrina, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 9.) 
Antennae stone-grey. Palpi whitish, the median and terminal joints of about equal length, the median 
slightly shaded on the basal half externally, the terminal tipped with a shade of fawn-brown at the 
apex. Head fawn-whitish. Thorax pale fawn. Forewings with the costa slightly raised at the base, 
straight beyond, apex rectangular, termen slightly sinuate, scarcely oblique; stone-whitish, with a very 
pale fawn-brownish suffused shade ; a fuscous shade on the cell at one-fourth, with a smaller one on the 
fold, below and a little beyond it, is succeeded by another at the end of the cell, beyond which is a 
curved series of very indistinct fawn-brownish shade-streaks at the base of the diverging veins; beyond 
these is a series of dots of the same colour, commencing with three from the costa, forming an angle 
below it a little darker than the remainder, which, curving outward opposite to the middle of the 
termen, revert to the dorsum before the tornus; a further series of brownish fuscous dots, two costal and 
seven terminal, extends around the margin; cilia pale stone-colour. Hap. al. 20-21 mm. Hindwings 
broader than the forewings, the termen sinuate ; whitish grey ; cilia stone-white, with a narrow fawn- 
ochreous line along their base. Abdomen shining, fawn-whitish; anal tuft ochreous.

30. Stenoma catenifer, sp. n. 
Antennae biciliate 13; pale fawn-ochreous. Palpi whitish, the median joint fuscous externally to two- 
thirds from its base. Head pale fawn-ochreous, somewhat roughly clothed above and in front. Thorax 
fawn-ochreous. Forewings pale fawn-ochreous, with some darker sprinkling towards the base and costa 
and on the middle of the dorsum; a strong blackish discal spot at the end of the cell, another half-way to 
the base on the upper edge of the cell, with a third in the middle of the fold; a series of inwardly pointed 
dentate blackish spots from the commencement of the costal to the beginning of the dorsal cilia forms 
a continuous chain with a similar series of more flattened spots around the apex and termen; the first 
portion of the chain, or that which crosses the wing-surface, is abruptly angulated outward below the 
costa and above the tornus, the outer angle being abruptly cut off by a pair of strong spots opposite to 
a point a little above the termen; cilia fawn-whitish. Ewp.al. 23mm. Hindwings very pale fawn- 
grey, somewhat iridescent between the veins; eilia slightly paler. Abdomen fawn-ochreous. Legs 
fawn-ochreous.

Two ¢@ 2 from Volcan de Chirigui are inseparable in markings from the type. 
The hindwings are half a shade darker in colour, and perhaps the forewings also 
a little darker and broader, but the most interesting difference consists in the fact that 
veins 6 and 7 of the hindwings in the 2 2 may be said to be connate rather than 
stalked, whereas the ‘stalk in the ¢, although close to the cell, is unmistakable. 
We find this difference even more emphasised in the closely allied sororia Z., a
