ferruginous terminal cilia; on the upper edge of the lobe are alternating dark and pale lines in the 
cilia, those on the lower edge being dark coppery brown, almost fuscous, before the tornus, but pale 
ferruginous throughout the remainder of the dorsum with one or two dark spatulate scales at about 
one-third from the base. Ewp. al. 11 mm. Hindwings and cilia dark eupreous; the posterior lobe 
very slender and short, speckled with whitish, a spatule of dark coppery brown scales spreading on 
either side of the end of the lobe, the cilia beyond and before it very pale ferruginous, with a smaller 
group of dark scales on the dorsum before the middle. Abdomen brownish ferruginous, a paler band 
across its base. Legs whitish, with spreading tufts of brownish ferruginous scales at the base of the 
pale spurs, bands and shades of the same colour being scattered along them.

2. Sochchora dotina, sp. n. 
Antennae black, with small white bars above, except on the terminal half. Palpi erect, ferruginous; 
the slender terminal joint shorter than the median, clouded with dark brownish fuscous. Head and 
Thoraw dark brownish ferruginous, the latter with a posterior patch of shining pale ferruginous. 
Forewings dark ferruginous, sparsely speckled with white scales and clouded along the margins and 
on the outer third with black, which forms a strong triangular spot beyond the middle preceding a 
faintly indicated pale ferruginous fascia, beyond which the apical and tornal lobes, both narrowly | 
margined with black, are much suffused with blackish on a darker ferruginous ground than that of 
the remainder of the wing; terminal cilia rather pale ferruginous, with smoky interruptions. Hp. al. 
14 mm. Hindwings light ferruginous, suffused with smoky blackish outward, the posterior lobe with 
a blackish scale-patch on its dorsum before the middle. Abdomen bright ferruginous, a narrow 
whitish transverse bar near the base; anal segment smoky. Legs bright ferruginous, clouded, especially 
on the spurs and tarsi, with smoky blackish. 
Type 2 (65473) Mus. Wl1sm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. PaNnaMa: cutriqui: Bugaba, 800-1500 ft., 1881 (G. C. Champion). Unique. 
This appears to agree with the variety of Sochchora donatella Wkr., but is certainly 
distinct from his Type, which does not possess the brilliant ferruginous colouring of 
the legs and body. |
