HEMEROPHILA. 317 
minutely speckled with whitish ochreous; a broad, suffused, bright chestnut band, leaving the costa 
before the middle, blends to brownish fuscous. before reaching the middle of the dorsum where it is 
slightly curved inward ; the speckling on the space beyond it is rather whiter than before it, and the 
outer portion of the wing becomes more distinctly chestnut-brown under the paler white speckling, while 
before the apex and along the termen it is rich light chestnut, parallel to the costa before the apex and 
to the upper two-thirds of the termen below it; a shining, steel-blue, metallic line divides this pale 
chestnut patch, and is adorned along its inner margin with short jet-black tooth-like streaks; cilia 
shining, metallic leaden grey, with a blackish line along their base. Hap.al. 15 mm. Hindwings 
brownish fuscous, with a golden yellow marginal line, extending through the base of the steely grey 
cilia and entirely overflowing them about the apex. Abdomen dark brownish fuscous, with six con- 
spicuous pale yellow transverse bars across its underside, Legs fuscous, banded with pule yellowish.

QUEZALTENANGO: Cerro Zunil, 4000-5000 ft., 1880 (G. C. Champion). Four 
specimens. 
Allied to velatana Wkr. (Cat. Lp. BM. 28 420—£gza), but lacking the radiating 
yellow streaks before the apex of the forewings; the yellow margin of the hindwings 
does not occur in velatana. 
7. Hemerophila immarginata, sp. n. 
Antennae fuscous, with pale cinereous bars above. Pualpi (missing). Head brownish. Thorax fuscous. 
Forewings dark brownish fuscous, suffused and sprinkled with pale cinereous, especially about the outer 
edge of a basal patch and on a broad band beyond the middle, which is separated from the basal patch 
by a dark chocolate-brown costal band, reaching to the fold and slightly tinting the fuscous ground- 
colour below the fold, as far as the dorsum before the middle; beyond the broad mottled band which 
succeeds this, the apical and terminal portions of the wing is dark reddish orange, a rather shining 
leaden-grey line running through this colour, forming an angle corresponding to the apex, its upper part 
not quite reaching the costa, its lower part parallel to the termen and blending with the cinereous 
mottling above the tornus ; cilia shining, steel-grey, with a black line along their base. Hxp.al.14mm. 
Hindwings brownish fuscous; cilialeaden grey. Abdomen (missing). Legs dark brownish fuscous, with 
pale cinereous annulations.

The type of this species is in bad condition, one side being much damaged, and the 
abdomen and palpi missing, but the right wings are uninjured, and it is sufficiently 
distinct to merit description. Allied to gradelia Wlsm., but lacking the black tooth- 
like projections on the inner edge of the metallic subapical line in the forewings—the 
different direction of the chocolate-brown fascia before the middle also serves to 
separate the two species, and the yellow margin, so conspicuous on the hindwings of 
gradella, is absent in immarginata.
