EUCOSMA. 235 
Hab. Central America—Mexico: vera crvz: Jalapa (M. Trujillo): tabasco: Teapa, 
Ill. (H. H. Smith)—Costra Rica (Mus. Joannis). Four specimens. 
This species differs from plebeiana Z. in the absence of a defined basal patch, in the 
green mottling, and in the dark costal shade; also in the form of the costal fold, which 
is elongate, not abbreviated. The tuft of scales on the hindwings is strongly elevated 
at the base, but appears somewhat less developed along the cubitus. 
3. Hucosma translucens, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 14.) 
Antennae brownish fuscous, faintly barred above. Pulpi projecting less than the length of the head beyond | 
it; pale greyish fuscous. Head greyish fuscous, with a bluish lustre in some lights. Thoraa mottled 
with pale cinereous and purplish fuscous. orewings pale cinereous, with fawn-brown suffusion toward 
the apex; an oblique dorsal patch before the middle, reaching a little over the fold, and an oblique 
transverse fascia, from beyond the middle of the costa to the tornus, sending out a curved excrescence from 
its upper half to below the apex—these, together with a series of very oblique costal streaks are all 
umber-brown, with some fuscous and pale ochreous scaling ; along the costa, between the darker streaks, 
are four or five pairs of geminated whitish ochreous streaklets ; a slight grey shade indicates the inner 
margin of an ocelloid patch containing one black line; cilia umber-brown, dotted with fuscous and 
whitish ochreous, which forms a double terminal line at the apex. Evp.al.18mm. Hindwings strongly 
iridescent, semitransparent, brownish fuscous around the margins; a very distinct, elongate, transparent 
patch between veins 1 and 2; cilia greyish, with a darker line along their base. Abdomen brownish 
fuscous. Legs pale cinereous, with darker tarsal bands.

5. Eucosma albidula, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 18.) 
Antennae cinereous. Pulpi projecting the length of the head beyond it; white. Head white. Thorax white, 
mixed with ferruginous in front, and with some black scales posteriorly. Forewings white, with a series 
of black spots and streaklets along the costa, a spot at one-fourth from the base and one a little beyond 
the middle being the most conspicuous ; a black spot on the fold, at one-third from the base, appears to 
indicate the outer angle of an obsolete basal patch containing some black and ferruginous freckles; there 
is a ferruginous shade on the dorsum, before the tornus, the white ocelloid patch beyond it containing 
some silvery metallic spots and two small black spots at its upper extremities ; the apical part of the 
wing is ferruginous, and contains a steel-grey streak preceded by a smoky fuscous shade; cilia white on 
the middle and at the apex and tornus, speckled with black and ferruginous between these points a 
slender white line running along their base. Exp. al. 16 mm. Hindwings and cilia smoky white, with 
a brownish shade toward the apex. Abdomen whitish. Legs white, with smoky tarsal bands. 
Type Q (66469) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv, Coll.) BM. 
Ta}. Mexico: auerrero: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
Allied to 5120 albangulana Wlsm., but differing in the form of the markings and 
in its much paler colour.
