along the wing-middle, and leaving the pale ground-colour in the form of diffused 
marginal spots. In the 2 (of which, however, there are only four specimens in a 
series of considerably over a hundred) the pattern seems to be more clearly defined 
and consistent; a pale ochreous band, inwardly oblique from costa to flexus, some- 
times partially confluent with a short dorsal streak crossing the fold; three straight 
costal streaks of varying lengths, sometimes followed by a spot before the apex, a spot 
before the tornus, and another above and beyond it, opposite to the middle of the 
termen. The hindwings and cilia are tawny brownish, darker in the @ than in the ¢.

1. Hybroma paedisca, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 24.) 
Antennae shining, pale yellow. Pali slender, not extending beyond the frontal tuft ; median joint slightly 
bristled at the apex; terminal short, smooth; pale yellow. Mawillary Palpi folded. Head rough ; 
pale yellow. Thorax shining, pale golden yellow. Forewings shining, pale golden yellow, with a pale 
lilac suffusion, widening outward from the base of the costa, depressed and extending nearly to the 
dorsum about the middle of the wing and thence carried outward and upward to the apex; this lilac 
suffusion is profusely speckled with dark ferruginous scales, more thickly strewn beyond the middle than 
before it and almost entirely covering the apical portion, where the golden ground-colour is much 
intensified around the margins before the pale yellow terminal cilia. Hwp. al. 13 mm. Hindwings 
shining, cupreous ; cilia purplish grey. Abdomen brown-grey. Legs hairy ; brownish grey, with paler 
spurs and tarsal joints. 
Type Q (66802) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Mexico: guerrero: Amula, 6000 ft. (7. H. Smith). Unique. 
2. Hybroma dulica, sp. n. 
’ Antennae pale creamy ochreous. Palpi dependent, slender, the terminal joint shorter than the median ; pale 
ochreous. Head somewhat rough; pale yellowish. Zhoraw pale yellowish. Forewings pale yellowish, 
slightly tinged with brownish ochreous along the fold and beyond the discal cell; a few groups of steel- 
grey scales are visible in an oblique line, from the commencement of the costal cilia to the middle of the 
dorsum and around the termen, also on the disc below the middle of the costa; costal and apical cilia 
yellowish, dorsal cilia slightly paler. Exp. al. 8-9 mm. Hindwings narrower than the forewings, 
widened at the base, tapering outward; shining, pale aencous ; cilia pale cinereous. Abdomen brownish 
cinereous. Legs pale cinereous. 
Type 3 (66810); ¢ (66811) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. (PL. (66812) US. Nat. Mus. ] 
Hab. Mexico: tabasco: Teapa IIL. (H. H. Smith). Three specimens. 
Differs from 6540 servulella Clms. in the absence of the costal and dorsal streaks, 
which are reduced to slight spots at the outer ends of what should be their positions.
