2. Hemerophila felis, sp. n. 
Antennae biciliate 2; fuscons, annulate with cream-whitish toward the base. Palpit creamy whitish, the 
terminal joint much shorter than the median, closely appressed to the face, both joints tipped with 
fuscous. Head brownish fuscous. Thorax brownish fuscous, a band of cream-white across its anterior 
margin; underside white. Forewings with the costa evenly arched, termen oblique, slightly convex ; 
brownish fuscous, with a vinous suffusion; a transverse creamy white band, at one-fourth of the wing- 
length, emits from the middle of its outer side a similar band, of the same width, descending obliquely to 
the tornus from the middle of the costa; a rather narrower creamy white band, slightly convex outwardly, 
also descends obliquely outward, nearly meeting the lower extremity of a narrow band of the same 
colour, from the costa near the apex, parallel with the termen—these three are all merged in a bright 
orange-ochreous patch at the tornus, in which is a single dark spot; cilia of the same colour as the fore- 
Wings, except along the margin of the ochreous patch. Zxrp. al. 14-19 mm. Hindwings brownish 
fuscous, with an elongate streak along the cell and two small marginal spots beneath it, bright 
ochreous; cilia tipped with pale greyish. Abdomen fuscous, banded with cream-whitish, a band of the 
same dividing it from the thorax. Legs banded with brownish fuscous and cream-whitish. 
Type 3 (66718, Teapa); Q (66715, Caché) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. ([PT. (66714) US. 
* Nat. Mus. ] 
Hab. Central America—Mexico: tapasco: Teapa, III. (H. H. Smith)—Costa Rica: 
Caché (H. Rogers). Three specimens. 
The single @ (from Caché) differs in the greater development of the orange tornal 
patch in the forewings—this encroaches on the dark ground-colour along the dorsum, 
extending above the fold; the subterminal line is not parallel with the termen, and in 
the hindwings the ochreous spots become blended into a subterminal line. The palpi 
are almost uniformly dark on the outer side.
