PTEROPHORINA. 447 
19. Pterophorus aethes, sp. n. 
Antennae pale cinereous, barred with dark brown above. Palpi short, porrect, scarcely extending beyond 
the head; pale fawn-brown. Head and Thorax pale fawn-brownish. Forewings pale fawn-brown, 
mixed with pale cinereous and some dark fuscons scaling, the latter especially along the basal half of 
the costa, in a median shade extending obliquely upward to the costa beyond the base of the fissure, 
and around the apex and apical cilia of both lobes; a patch of raised pale fawn-brown scales occurs at 
the base of the fissure—these scales arranged obliquely, and, when not worn, overlapping the base of the 
tornal lobe nearly to the dorsum; another small patch of raised scales occurs on the fold half-way 
between these and the base. Exp.al.19 mm. Hindwings and cilia greyish brown. Abdomen fawn- 
brownish, mixed with cinereous and fuscous. Legs pale cinereous, with some dark brown scaling about 
the base of the spurs.

Hab. Mexico: vera cruz: Jalapa, 4500 ft., 1887 (W. Schaus) ; Atoyac, IV. (H. H. 
Smith): Guerrero: Amula, 6000 ft., VITI-IX. (2. H. Smith). Four specimens. 
This is the only species of Pterophoridae in which I have observed a distinct tuft 
of raised scales. It is apparently allied to nodipes Z., the type of which shows 
indications that scales near the fissure may be somewhat raised in specimens in fine 
condition, 
20. Pterophorus phloeochroa, sp. n. 
Antennae pale brownish. Palpi short, slender ; brownish. Head and Thorax bark-brown, the latter 
speckled with pale cinereous. Forewings bark-brown, more or less profusely speckled with pale cinereous 
which tends to costal accumulations on either side of a dark spot before the middle of the apical lobe, 
some dorsal accumulation beyond the middle of the same, and two faint bands across the tornal lobe— 
one from the base of the fissure, the other beyond the middle of the lobe; cilia brownish. Exp. al.: 
23-24 mm. Hindwings and cilia a little paler than the forewings and rather less reddish brown. 
- Abdomen brownish, dusted with pale cinereous, especially at the sides and at the base above. Hind 
Leys brownish, the slightly tufted tibiae, spurs, and first tarsal joint sprinkled with whitish cinereous.
