Arphia fallax, Sauss. Prodr. (Edip. p. 69 (1884) '. 



Eab. Mexico, Ciudad in Durango (Forrer : $ ) ; Guatemala (Saussure l ). 



The collection before me contains a single female labelled by Dr. Saussure, which, 

 while not the type, no doubt belongs to this species. It agrees well with the descrip- 

 tion and differs from all other known forms.

This plainly-marked species seems to belong to Central Mexico, and but little is at 

 present known of its distribution. Three males and two females have been found. 



8. Arphia aurantipennis, sp. n. 



A medium-sized, rusty-brown insect, with, orange-red or orange-yellow wings, and the tegmina, pronotum, 

 and hind femora more or less irrorated and streaked with darker brown and dull black specks and 

 markings. 



Head and thorax unusually coarsely granulated, the pronotum with traces of elongate ridges on the posterior 

 portion of the disc. Vertex with a large, rather deeply grooved, nearly circular, sulcation of the foveola, 

 through the centre of which runs a well-defined carina ( c?), or very broadly pyriform and with a fainter 

 median carina ( § ) ; lateral foveolse subquadrate, of medium size, the upper inner edge rounded ; frontal 

 eosta very coarsely punctate above the ocellus and deeply bifoveolate at its upper extremity, where it is 

 only slightly narrowed. Antennae rather short and slender. Pronotum with the sides compressed, the 

 front but little narrowed ; median carina rather prominent, nearly straight, and strongly notched by the 

 last sulcus plainly in advance of its middle ; anterior margin scarcely angulate, the hind border somewhat 

 acute, even in the $ , in the S decidedly so, the extreme tip rounded. Tegmina and wings normal, the 

 former profusely and evenly irrorated with darker brown, the latter with moderately heavy fuliginous 

 bands and apices of the same colour, the dusky apex preceded by faint indications of a praeapical vitreous 

 patch. Taenia broad and extending nearly to the base of the wings ; coloured area of the anterior field 

 narrow, the extreme margin largely dark. Hind femora somewhat robust, and showing a rather broad
