Metraga rubicolor Dyar. 



Mr. Schaus has collected i male, La Florida, Costa Rica, 

 July; i male, Zent, Costa Rica, February, 1907; 3 males, 

 Banana River, Costa Rica, March, 1907. 



Metraga emilia, n. sp. 



Fore wings reddish brown, the outer and inner margins broadly dark 

 purple; a faint discal dot and outer line, limiting the marginal dark 

 shade; hind wings dark straw-color, the fringe purplish, especially so at 

 anal angle. Head and thorax ferruginous, abdomen ochraceous. Ex- 

 panse, 18 mm. 



One male, Tabernilla, Canal Zone, Panama (Aug. Busck). 



Type. No. 11514, U. S. National Museum. 



Allied to M. rubicolor Dyar, but the outer margin is shaded 

 as well as the inner and the hind wings are pale. Named in 

 honor of Miss Emily Baker, of Hyattsville, Md. 



Natada salta Druce. 



Specimens have lately been received from Cordoba, Mexico, 

 three, May, 1906, and one, April, 1906 (Wm. Schaus) ; four, 

 Sixola River, Costa Rica, April, 1907; one, Chiriquicito, 

 Panama, April, 1907 (Wm. Schaus) ; one, Merida, Venezuela 

 (S. E. Briceno). 



Natada arpi, n. sp. 



A rather large species, nearly allied to N. bergii Dyar. The color of 

 the fore wing is paler than in bergii, shining grayish, the brown shading 

 confined to a patch at origin of vein 2 and a large cloud about lower 

 half of outer line; discal dot rounded, blackish; outer line brown, 

 fainter and curved outward where it traverses the brown cloud. Hind 

 wings dark gray-brown. Thorax and base of abdomen tinged with red. 

 Expanse, 37 mm. 



One male, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (J. Arp). 

 Type. No. 11539, U. S. National Museum. 



Talima straminea Schaus. 



Two males, Sixola River, Costa Rica, April, 1907 (W. 

 Schaus). 



Epiperola vafera Druce. 



I referred this species to Paleophobetron on a specimen 

 from Maroni River, French Guiana, in the Schaus collection. 

 The palpi in this specimen are apparently distorted, as addi- 

 tional examples from Palma Sola, Venezuela, show well- 

 developed palpi, reaching to the middle of the front, thus 

 placing the species in Epiperola.
