aemulana Hb. (=§urticana Hb.) as the Type of Orthotaenia Stph. should be attributed to 
Fernald, not to Westwood. | 
Type 33: Exartema permundanum Clms. (permundana Clms. ; Frnid. 1908). 
*Exarrem (Clms.) Frnld. Gn. Tortr. 39, 59 (1908). [Fernald cites permundanum Clms. as the 
Type, overlooking the fact that, in Papilio 1 219 (1881), he had already designated “ nitidana, 
the type of Clemens’ genus Eaartema.’”’] . | 
Type 34: Acanthothyspoda elaeodes Lwr. (Lwr. 1908). 
AcantuotuysPopa Lwr. Tr. Roy. Soc. S-Austral. 32 319-20 (1908) ; Meyr. Pr. Linn. Soc. NSW.

1. Olethreutes anaphorana, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 23.) 
Antennae shortly biciliate, serrate toward the apex; fawn-brown, barred with blackish above. Palpz short, 
erect, densely but smoothly clothed, the short obtuse terminal joint scarcely visible; dark purplish 
fuscous. Head dark reddish brown. Thorav smooth, dark purplish fuscous. Forewtngs very dark 
purplish fuscous, with an olivaceous brownish tinge from the middle of the base, overflowing the fold and 
the cell and dilated upward toward the costa before the apex ; standing out against the purplish gloss, on 
the commencement of the outer half of the fold, is a deep tawny black triangular patch, followed by a 
smaller one, above its outer angle at the end of the celi, containing a few rosy scales; there are a few 
costal spots, and a broken transverse antemarginal streak, almost equally dark in colour; cilia smoky 
greyish fuscous, rosy tinged in some lights. Emp. al. 23 mm. Hindwings dark chocolate-brown, with 
some purplish suffusion ; cilia greyish. Abdomen dark brownish. Legs brownish cinereous, spotted 
with fuscous. 
Type 3 (66490) Mus. Wism. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. PanaMa: cuirigut: Volcan de Chiriqui, 2000-3000 ft., 1881-2 (G. C. 
Champion). Unique. 
9. Olethreutes holodesma, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 24.) 
Antennae cinereous, very faintly and closely barred above with grey. Palpi projecting nearly the length of 
the head beyond it; dark greyish fuscous. Head dark purplish fuscous, some long ochreous scales. 
mixed with the erect lateral tufts above the eyes. Thorax greyish fuscous. Forewings creamy whitish, 
much shaded and mottled with leaden grey and greyish fuscous, the ground-colour being almost 
obliterated on the basal and costal half of the wing, and appearing chiefly toward the outer half of the 
dorsum and lower two-thirds of the termen—this pale space is divided by a narrow greyish fuscous band, 
coming from the ecstal shade opposite to the commencement ot the costal cilia and reaching the com- 
mencement of the dorsal cilia; the fuscous band is minutely strigulated throughout with whitish, as is 
also a short, oblique, transverse shade crossing the wing before the apex; cilia creamy white, mottled 
with greyish about the apex; underside with a slightly mottled appearance. Hap. al, 24 mm. 
Hindwings brownish grey; cilia paler, with a dark dividing shade; underside with a slightly mottled 
appearance. Abdomen brownish grey. Legs brownish grey (broken). 
Type 2 (6649+) Mus, Wl1sm. (Godmn-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Mexico : MoRELOS: Cuernavaca, VI. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
This species differs from 5287 Olethreutes (Ecdytolopha) insiticiana Z., from Massa- 
chusetts, etc., more especially in the absence of the antetornal triangular dorsal spot— 
in holedesma this is replaced by a continuous transverse band. |
