OF WASHINGTON. 51 



Epiperola vaferella, n. sp. 



Shining blackish brown, the fore wings of this color to the outer 

 line, which is narrow, pale, single, slightly curved, reaching from outer 

 sixth of costa to middle of inner margin ; space beyond this line more 

 grayish; a pale line at the base of the fringe. Hind wings of the color 

 of the outer space of fore wings, with a pale line at the base of 

 fringe. Expanse, 21 mm. 



One male, La Florida, Costa Rica, July, 1907 (W. Schaus). 



Type. No. 11540, U. S. National Museum. 



Allied to P. vafera Druce, but the outer space is paler, the 

 line single, not doubled, more curved and arising farther from 

 the apex. 



Epiperola monochroma, n. sp. 



Entirely bright brownish ochraceous without any markings. The 

 wings are rather long and pointed, the head prominent, with large eyes, 

 of the general build of Perola sericea Moschler, though smaller. Ex- 

 panse, 30 mm. 



Four males, Bocas del Toro, Panama, April, 1907, and Chiri- 

 quicito, Panama, April, all collected by Mr. Schaus. 

 Type. No. 11541, U. S. National Museum. 



Tanadema neutra, n. sp. 



Allied to Tanadema mas Dyar, but the lines on fore wing broad, 

 distinct, dark gray, the two lines alike, the discal mark forming part 

 of the inner line. The lines are rather sharply angled on the veins, 

 the inner one sharply produced at the lower end of the cell. The 

 ground color of the wings is not so red as in T. mas, being of a paler 

 color in two specimens, dark in the other but still without the red 

 cast. Expanse, 19 mm. 



Three males, Sixola River, Costa Rica, April, 1907; Tuis, 

 Costa Rica, July, 1907; Banana River, Costa Rica, March, 

 1907 (Wm. Schaus). 



Type. No. 11542, U. S. National Museum. 



Packardia ceanothi, n. sp. 



Allied to P. elegans Packard, but bright brownish ochraceous instead 

 of bronzy brown. In the dark form (corresponding to elegans) the 

 fore wings are brownish ochraceous, crossed by two oblique and one 

 reversed curved pale line, the inner line broadly shaded without with 

 dark fuscous brown, the curved line ending at the anal angle in two 

 superposed dots. Hind wings thickly blackish irrorate. In the pale 

 form (corresponding to variety fusca Pack.) the markings are nearly 

 obliterated, being of almost the same shade as the ground color. Hind 

 wings pale straw-color.
