CHOROPLECA. 367 
colour, which succeeds the median shade, is a short dark brown length-streak accompanied by some 
bright yellow ochreous scaling, this is succeeded by three dark brown spots—one at the apex, partially 
colouring the cilia beyond it, and two on the termen, not influencing the hoary greyish terminal cilia; 
these dark spots are all preceded by some bright yellow-ochreous scaling, which is also to be found, 
although less conspicuous, around and above the two outer dorsal streaks. Exp.al.14 mm. Hind- 
wings at least as broad as the forewings; shining, brownish grey; eilia greyish cinereous. Abdomen 
shining, light greyish brown. Legs whitish, with grey hairs above the tibiae, the tarsal joints being 
also broadly banded with grey.

Hab. MEXICO: GUERRERO: Omilteme, 8000 ft., VII. (H. H. Smith). Two specimens. 
Greatly resemblitg 6535 visaliella Chmb., but differing in the greater extension of 
the dark patch at the base of the costa; in the two parallel white costal streaks 
before the apex being distinctly farther apart; and in the extension of the white 
apical dot into an elongate white marginal spot. ‘The specimen of visaliella Chmb. 
(33756) with which this is compared is much smaller than doviceps; size, however, 
counts for little in this group, and there is a possibility that bovrceps may be a more 
developed southern form of visaliella—but the dark blotch, beyond the middle of the 
forewing of visaliella, sends out two tooth-like excrescences on the outer side, while in 
boviceps it is found that the lower of these excrescences is detached, forming a small 
isolated spot. 
3. Choropleca germana, sp. n. 
Antennae white, annulate with dark bronzy fuscous. Palpi short, drooping, white; median joint roughly 
clothed, the long scales projecting laterally, a large patch of bronzy fuscous on its underside. Head 
hoary greyish. Thorax silvery white posteriorly, clouded in front with dark bronzy fuscous. orewings 
silvery white, much suffused with dark bronzy fuscous, with some golden ochreous scaling intermixed, 
across the middle and towards the apex; three pairs of silvery white, outwardly oblique, geminated 
costal streaks are made conspicuous by the dark bronzy intermediate spaces, the space between the 
second and third pair being wider than that preceding the second; some silvery white spots around 
the apex and termen are also rendered somewhat conspicuous by the dark bronze, mixed with golden 
ochreous scales, which precedes and separates them; cilia grey, tipped with whitish along the termen. 
Exp. al. 8mm. Hindwings and cilia pale, shining, bluish grey. -Abdomen shining, dark grey. Legs 
pale greyish. 
Type & (66795) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv, Coll.) BM. [PTT. (66796-7, 66800) US. Nat. Mus. ] 
‘Hab. Mexico: Guerrero: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII-IX. (H. H. Smith). Seven 
specimens. 
The distinctly geminate white costal streaks, in three similar pairs, separate this 
equally from visaliella Chmb. and from dowceps Wism.
