throughout with dark brownish fuscous, the dark plical patch produced ‘inward above the fold, nearly 
to the base, obliterating the form of the first discal spot; the outer discal spot, at the end of the cell 
small, preceded and followed by a very pale ochreous space, the antemedial spots obliquely placed ; 
the terminal spots concurrent, forming a dark line at the base of the brownish cinereous cilia. 
Exp, al. 20-30 mm. Hindwings greyish brown ; cilia brownish cinereous. Abdomen hairy at the base; 
greyish fuscous: genitalia, uncus angular, single, the angle of deflection somewhat produced and sharply 
| defined; claspers obliquely rounded, tapering, their upper edges somewhat straightened. Legs (missing).

beyond it. . 
41. Acrolophus barema, sp. n., Drnt. 
Antennae, § biserrate, pale fawn-ochreous. Palpe 3 overarching the thorax, clothed with long hair-scules ; 
fawn-ochreous, mixed with fuscous. Head and Thorax fawn-ochreous, mixed with brownish fuscous. 
Forewings brownish fuscous, becoming fawn-ochreous beyond the cell, the costa and termen indistinctly 
dark-spotted throughout; from the costal spots, obscure, outwardly oblique, more or less continuous dark 
lines are traceable across the wing—these are more conspicuous on the paler terminal area; the dark 
fuscous scaling is somewhat concentrated cn the fold, forming a trapezoidal patch toward the end of the 
_ cell, and followed by yellowish ochreous scaling in the form of a triangular dorsal patch; cilia brownish 
fuscous. Ewp.al.22 mm. Hindwings rather dark fuscous; cilia fuscous, with a paler line along their 
base. Abdomen hairy, dark fuscous; genitalia, uncus double, evenly curved over, not reaching beyond 
the ends of the claspers, which are rather broad at the base, becoming abruptly excised on their lower 
margin before the middle, thence bowed-in, and somewhat narrow, terminal margins rounded. Legs 
fawn-ochreous (broken).

42. Acrolophus invida, sp. n., Drnt. 
Antennae ¢ serrate, brownish ochreous. Palpi strongly ‘recurved, overarching the thorax, strongly hirsute 
throughout; brownish fuscous. Head and Thorax brownish fuscous. Forewinys brownish ochreous 
with lilac sheen, and with ill-defined dark purplish fuscous markings; from dark fuscous spots along the 
costa arise oblique broken lines, these are obscured toward the dorsum, on and below the cell, by dark 
purplish fuscous suffusion, which is perhaps most pronounced along the fold ; cilia brownish ochreous, 
with a fuscous line along the termen at their base. wp. al. 28 mm. Hindwings dark fuscous, some- 
what aeneous-tinged ; cilia slightly paler. Abdomen dark fuscous: genitalia, uncus double, divergent 
beneath, triangular, the outer margin excavate, not reaching beyond the slightly spoon-shaped claspers, 
which are scarcely dilated posteriorly. Legs (broken). 
Type & (67020) Mus. Wl1sm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Panama: cuiriqui: Volcan de Chiriqui, 2000-3000 ft., 1881-2 (G. C. 
Champion). Unique. 
Though somewhat obscurely marked, this species should be easily recognised by the 
lilac sheen on the paler parts of the wing and its dark purplish fuscous suffusion.
