Norape butleri Baker. 



Carama butleri Baker, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 133, 1887. 



In this species the head and abdomen are pure white with- 

 out yellow tint. I have this form from Brazil, Trinidad, the 

 Guianas, and Mexico. No specimens are before me from 

 Central America, though it undoubtedly occurs there. The 

 species is of medium size and without any yellow. The 

 wings are smooth, without the banded effect, which is lacking 

 also in all the following species. 



Norape miasma, new species. 



Similar to butleri, but of an impure yellowish white throughout. 

 The hind wings are somewhat whiter than the fore wings. The front 

 is white, the pectus black. All the tarsi are tinted with dusky be- 

 neath, though white on top. 



Six males, four females, Castro, Parana, Brazil (Schaus 

 collection). 



Type: No. 13106, U. S. National Museum. 



Norape pura Butler. 



Carama pura Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. , 64, 1878. 



This differs from butleri only in that the head is yellow on 

 the vertex. It has the same range. My specimens are from 

 Brazil, the Guianas, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, and Mex- 

 ico. I do not know how constant the yellow coloration is. 

 This can only be proved by breeding. 



Norape catharus, new species . 



Pure white; front white, vertex and antennal tufts yellow; abdo- 

 men tinged with yellow dorsally; lower part of front and pectus 

 brown; fore legs blackish on one side; all the tarsi tinged with brown 

 beneath. Expanse 37 mm. 



Two males, Sapucay, Paraguay (W. T. Foster). 



Type: No. 13107, U. S. National Museum. 



This would seem to be the species indicated by Baker as 

 plumosa Butler (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 134, 1887), but 

 Butler in his original description says that plumosa only 

 differs from walkeri (-= ovina) in its smaller size and the 

 black upper surface of the anterior pair of legs. I have there- 

 fore referred it to the specimens so characterized. 



Norape flarnrnicornis Schaus. 



Carama ftammicornis Schaus, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xxix, 334, 

 1905. 



Antennae red; a black costal edge to fore wing; all the tarsi 

 are black, but there is no yellow color on the insect. The 

 wings are smooth.
