and diffused downwards toward the tornus, where it is mixed with some leaden grey; a slightly darker 
fuscous mark, arising in the middle of this shade, forms an angulated band stretching outward, dilated 
into a subapical patch beyond the cell and reaching to the middle of the termen ; on the costa above it are 
several, dark fuscous, oblique streaks alternating with tawny reddish and some leaden grey, a curved 
dark fuscous spot, at the extreme apex, and an outwardly oblique dorsal patch, near the base, complete the 
darker markings of the wing; cilia dark leaden grey, with a fuscous line along their base. zp. al.

along its upper and inner edge by a slender pale line, descends slightly outward from the middle of the 
costa to the lower edge of the cell where it is bent outward, and somewhat attenuated, thence widening 
again into a large mammeloid projection before the apex, its lower extremity touching the middle of 
the termen; above it are a few blackish costal streaklets with two spots of the same before and one 
at the apex; a small blackish spot lies on the fold at about half the wing-length ; cilia tawny reddish 
cinereous, with darker tesselations around the apex. wp. al. 19-20 mm. Hindwings greyish fuscous ;

Type 3 (6031); 2 (6032 Wism. Det. 1908) Orizaba, US. Nat. Mus. [PT7. (33943) Mus. Wlsm. BM.] 
Hab. Mexico: veRA cruz: Orizaba, 1.1906 (W. Schaus): oaxaca: Salina Cruz, 
1906 (W. Schaus). Three specimens. | 
A good series of specimens would perhaps prove that hieroglypta ‘is only a form of 
delphinosema Wlsm. 
5. Olethreutes semicirculana Wkr. (Tab. VII. fig. 26.) 
Carpocapsa semicirculana Wkr. Cat. Lp. BM. 28 396 sp. 10 (1868) '. 
Type 2 (1861:21) BM. . 
Hab, Brivish Honpuras (=*Hownvrss'): Limas, near Belize, 1844-5 (D. Dyson). 
[The specimen is labelled “ Limas,” and was presented as from « Limas, Honduras” 
by H. T. Stainton, in 1861. In the Stainton Collection are specimens labelled 
‘‘Limas, V., Brockholes 1860 ” (401201-17); “ Belise, W.W. Saunders” (401218-21) ; 
and “Colombia, D. Dyson, W. W. Saunders” (401222-3)—these specimens were 
probably all collected by Dyson and dispersed. <3
