9. Polyortha tersa, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 14.) 
Antennae tawny grey, spotted above with fuscous. Palpi hirsute above and beneath, extending more than 
the length of the head beyond it; dark tawny, with some paler speckling at the sides ; terminal joint 
naked, tipped with whitish. Head dark tawny, with paler speckling. Thorac dark tawny ; tutted 
behind. Forewings rather narrow in proportion to their length, termen slightly sinuate below the apex ; 
dark tawny, with a white mediocostal patch, in which is a tawny shade and some tawny scales on the 
margin—this patch is semiovate and extends to the lower edge of the cell; the dark portion of the wing 
shows about five strong tufts of raised scales, of which the most conspicuous are on the fold and above 
the commencement of the dorsal cilia; cilia tawny, with slight purplish grey sheen, Lup. al. 16 mm. 
Hindwings greyish fuscous; cilia paler. Abdomen ochreous. Legs shining, white, with tawny tarsal 
bands. 
Type 3 (66278) Mus. Wism. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. GuaTEMALA: QUEZALTENANGO: Cerro Zunil, 4000-5000 ft., VIII-IX. 1880 
(G. C. Champion). Unique. 
10. Polyortha euchlorana, sp. n. 
Antennae pale ochreous, dotted with fuscous. Pulpit projecting the length of the head beyond it, median 
joint hirsute, terminal joint naked; bright green. Head and Thorax bright green; the latter tufted 
behind. Forewings slightly sinuate below the depressed apex, somewhat narrower than is usual in this 
genus ; bright green, with a broad, mottled, fusecous band crossing the wing at two-thirds, obliquely 
parallel with the termen; this band contains some tawny grey shading on its dorsal, and some black 
streaklets on its costal half—two small tawny fuscous costal spots lie between it and the base, some 
black scales lying also on the costa between them; the wing-surface exhibits several patches of strongly 
raised scales, at least three on the green basal half, and two on the darker transverse band, conforming 
in each case to the colour on which they are set; cilia bright green above and beneath; underside 
dusky, with the exception of some ochreous speckling along the costa and their bright green cilia. 
Eup. al. 12 mm. Hindwings 1; tawny grey; with a pale slender line at the base of the grey cilia; 
underside dusky. Abdomen tawny grey. Legs pale cinereous. 
Type 2 (66280) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. [PT. (66281) US. Nat. Mus.] 
Hab. Mexico: Tapasco: ‘l'eapa III. (H. Hf. Smith). Two specimens. 
A very small and beautiful species—quite distinct. 
11. Polyortha dolosa, sp. n. 
Antennae fawn-brown. Palpi extending scarcely the length of the head beyond it, the median joint thickly 
clothed beneath, the terminal short obtuse; fawn-brown, Head and Vhorax fawn-brown. Forewings 
with the costa abruptly arched at the base, ciliate from the humeral angle outward ; fawn-brown, with 
a slight rosy tinge, a series of small black marginal spots along the rounded apex and convex termen, a 
blackish spot on the cell a little beyond its middle; there are also one or two black scales beyond the 
end of the cell and on the costa, with a thin and scattered sprinkling of bright chestnut scales, especially 
about the tornus ; cilia concolorous with the wings. Exp. al.14 mm. Hindwings brownish fuscous 3 
cilia pale cinereous, brownish grey on their basal half. Ajdomen rather shining brownish. Legs shining, 
pale fawn. 
Type 3 (66283, San Gerénimo) Mus, W1sm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. [PT. (66284) US. Nat. Mus. ] 
Hab. AMERICA, O-S. Central America — GUATEMALA : BAJA VERA PAZ: San 
Geronimo, 1879-90 (G. C. Champion). South America—Cotompia : CUNDINAMARCA : 
Bogota (Birchall). Three specimens, 
Very similar to Tortrix apatela W1sm. (p. 289), but easily separable by the neuration
