second of which, reckoning from the base, is the largest; and the fourth

This species seems to be closely allied to E.phyllophila Trim., 

 from which it differs, however, in the form of the spots upon the 

 primaries, and in the absence of the submarginal spots upon the 

 lowerside of the secondaries in the region of the median nervules.

5. A. substrigata sp. nov. <^\ The antennae, the upperside of the palpi, 

 the head, the thorax and the abdomen, black; the tip of the abdomen and 

 the lowerside of the palpi, the thorax and the abdomen, whitish; the legs 

 are gray, margined with whitish. The upperside of both primaries and 

 secondaries is black ; the fringes of the primaries on the upperside are 

 black; the fringes of the secondaries are white, more broadly so at the 

 anal angle. On the underside the primaries are fuscous, broadly marked 

 with white upon the inner margin. There are two very small and obscure 

 whitish spots at the end of the cell, one above each other, and faint traces 

 of a curved limbal series of similar spots, in which the two uppermost 

 members of the series are the most conspicuous, and in some specimens 

 are well defined. The secondaries are gray, slightly darker on the costa 

 and traversed by subbasal, median, and submarginal series of spots, 

 lighter than the ground-color of the wings, and margined externally by 

 fine dark lines. 



9 . The female is like the male, save that the primaries are marked 

 by two diffuse white spots, one above the submedian nerve about its mid 

 die, and another just above it, between the first and second median ner- 

 vules at their origin. Expanse tf and 9 2 5 2 mm -

On the upperside this insect looks like A. mackenii Trim., 

 but is smaller. A glance at the underside, which is totally unlike 

 that of any other species in the genus, reveals at once its specific 

 distinctness.

6. G. mabillei sp. nov. <j\- Antennae black; upperside of the head, 

 thorax and abdomen, dark brown; lowerside of the palpi whitish; lower 

 side of thorax brown; lower side of abdomen yellowish, the yellow color 

 produced upwardly on the sides along the outer margin of the segment. 

 Primaries on the upperside black. There are two small white translucent 

 spots, one above the other, at the end of the cell; there are three minute 

 spots, forming a curved subapical series; there are three subquadrate 

 spots, forming a transverse median series, the middle spot being the 

 largest, and located just below the two small spots at the end of the cell, 

 the lower spot is semi-opaque. The secondaries have a large circular
