Walker founded Zirasia granulatella on three specimens, all 9 ?, each belonging 
to a different species—the Type, from Villa Nova, described asa ¢, is a 2 with 
divided frenulum; the paratype, from Honduras, may be regarded as the 2 of 
—praetusalis Wkr. Drnt.

Acrolophus boucardi Druce Ann-Mag. NH. (7 s.) 7 441 (1901) ’. 
Antennae simple. Palpi overarching the thorax (as in Hypoclopus). Forewings pale stone-ochreous, with 
dark fuscous costal streaks and spots, and some suffusion of the same beneath the costa and toward the 
termen, becoming confluent with the usual series of three or four darker patches, the paler dorsal band, 
throwing up two angular projections, is also well indicated; other specimens show that the species is 
capable of much variation—it has a tendency to exhibit slender lines of snow-white scales, but these do 
not appear on all specimens, probably because these scales are loosely attached, and thus very fugitive-— 
in one very perfect example there is a continuous line along the fold, from near the base, and another, 
somewhat broken, following the lower edge of the cell: and diverted from the cell along vein 2 to the 
tornus, a few scattered scales distributed from thence across the wing, nearly to the costa. zp. al. 
28-36 mm. Abdomen: genitalia, the uncus is double, gently curved, not angulated, its apex reaching 
as far as the end of the rather wide and evenly rounded claspers.

Very close to 6588 arizonella Wlsm.; it differs in the pale costal line being more 
distinctly interrupted by dark spotting, and in the absence of the pale line marking 
the termen at the base of the cilia; moreover, the dark wing-markings are much more 
distinct and conspicuous, while in arizonella they are frequently reduced to quite 
insignificant streaks and spots. The hindwings have the same tawny purplish tinge 
in both species. Wlsm. MS. 807/1904.

37. Acrolophus penumbra, sp. n. 
Antennae serrate, minutely ciliate ; brownish fuscous. Palpr overarching the thorax, densely clothed 
throughout, the terminal joint with dilated tuft; brownish fuscous. Forewings dark fawn-brown 
suffused with fuscous, a series of slender fuscous strigulae descends from the costa becoming absorbed 
in a central fuscous shade, which connects and overflows the positions of the usual discal and plical 
patches, extending below the basal half of the fold to the dorsum and dilated beyond the cell to the 
termen and apex; cilia dull brownish cinereous, with two fuscous shade-lines running through, their 
tips also fuscous. Exp. al. 22-30 mm. Hindwings brownish fascous ; cilia dull brownish cinereous, 
shaded with fuscous, Abdomen brownish fuscous; genitala, uneus double, long, bent over; claspers
