translucent spot at the end of the cell, and beyond it t\vo narrow elon- 

 gated white spots separated by the second median nervule. On the un- 

 derside the primaries are marked as on the upperside, but the ground 

 color is obscure fuscous, shading into blackish on the cell. The secon- 

 daries are yellowish, with the outer margin broadly brown. There is a 

 translucent spot at the end of the cell, very narrowly edged with brown; 

 there are two blackish rays running from this spot to the base. The costa 

 is narrowly marked with brown, and there is a curved series of four small 

 brown spots, two below the c osta, the third opposite the end of the cell, 

 geminate; and the fourth, just below the two translucent linear spots, 

 which reappear upon the lowerside, and are especially noticeable when 

 the wing is held up to the light.

7. G. ( ? ) basistriga sp. nov. $. Antennas dark brown, narrowly mar- 

 gined with yellow on the underside of the culmen, and broadly marked 

 with yellow on the underside of the club. The upperside of the palpi 

 and the entire body are dark brown; the lowerside of the palpi is yellow- 

 ish; legs brown. The primaries on the upperside are dark brown. There 

 is a long subquadrate spot filling the outer half of the cell; a subapical 

 series of three yellow spots, of which the outermost one is the largest. 

 There are three yellow spots forming a transverse limbal series, of which 

 the one located between the first and second median nervules is very 

 large, and is separated from the large spot in the cell by the median 

 nervule ; the other two spots are subtriangular, one located between the 

 second and third median nervules, and the other being located upon the 

 submedian nerve, a little beyond its middle. The fringe is dark brown, 

 except at the outer angle, where it is yellowish. The secondaries are 

 dark brown, with the base and inner margin covered with olivaceous 

 hairs. There is a yellowish ray at the end of the cell, followed by a 

 transverse median series of three yellow opaque markings, which cross 

 the wing at right angles to the inner margin; the two innermost spots, 

 which are located between the median nervules, are circular; the outer- 

 most, which is elongated and linear, is situated between the third median 

 and the first subcostal. The fringes are narrowly yellowish, shaded with 

 brown at the ends of the nervules, except near the anal angle, when- t In- 

 fringe is uniformly bright yellow. On the underside the primaries are 

 dark maroon, marked with pale cinereous near the apex, and laved with 

 pale yellowish along the inner margin. The spots of the upper surface 

 reappear on the lowerside, and, in addition, tht-iv is a small geminate
