1. Choropleca poecilta, sp. n. 
Antennae smoky brown, biserrate toward apex, with a broad whitish band near the base; basal joint black. 
Palpi black on their outer sides, paler within; the median joint slightly fringed beneath, the terminal - 
joint shorter, obtuse. Hezd rough; black, face smoky. Thorax white. Forewings white, with dark 
smoky brown elongate patches on costa and dorsum, the two on the costa being narrower than those 
on the dorsum; the first costal blotch extends from the base along the upper edge of the cell to fully 
one-third of the wing-length; the second costal, beginning narrowly before the middle, expands to 
an oblique angle beyond the end of the cell, and is succeeded bya short oblique costal streak of the same 
colour, between two broader streaks of white; on the dorsum, the first patch, commencing near the base, 
terminates in an outwardly oblique angle, opposite to the end of the first costal patch; it is separated 
from the second dorsal patch by a narrow oblique white band, the second patch extending to the com- 
mencement of the cilia, its outer edge sinuate, and its upper extremity caudate; a small brown spot, at 
the commencement of the cilia, emits a slender line to the apex, parallel with the white termen—it forms 
a slight angle before meeting a similar brown line, which marks the base of the costal cilia, the 
space before it slightly shaded with smoky ochreous; cilia smoky brownish around the apex, whitish 
toward the tornus. Exp. al. 13 mm. Hindwings reddish grey; cilia grey. Abdomen reddish grey. 
Legs grey.

2. Choropleca boviceps, sp. n. 
Antennae bronzy brown, the basal joint spotted with white, with four bands of white annulations alternating 
° with dark brown bands—the first consists of seven or eight white rings; the second, of four; the third, of 
two; and the fourth, before the brown apex, of two or three. . Palpi porrect, the median joint roughened 
beneath, brown externally, white on its inner side and at its apex, with a pecten of bristles on the 
outer side; terminal joint stout, obtuse, densely but smoothly clothed, white, with a brown half-ring 
beneath. Head somewhat rough; brownish cinereous. Thorax white, shaded with bronzy brown 
across the front and behind the middle. Forewings white, much suffused with bronzy brown, of which 
a large costal blotch extends across the outer half of the cell, the costa being of the same colour 
throughout, but intersected by about five outwardly oblique white streaks—two before the middle, and 
two, less widely separated and tending to converge at their points, before the costal cilia; the dorsal 
portion is somewhat less suffused, and exhibits three outwardly oblique streaks of dark bronzy brown— 
one before the middle, one at the middle, and one about the tornus ; In a patch of the white ground-
