98. Coenocalpe crypsichroma spec. nov. 



Forewing: delicate pale grey, crossed 1)}' many fine and faintly marked 

 lniiulate lines ; of these two are curved and limit the slightly darker basal field ; 

 the inner edge of central fascia from nearly one-third of costa to one-third of 

 inner margin, also curved ; outer edge at three-fourths, lunulate, and bent at middle 

 of wing ; this edge is preceded by three or four and the inner followed by one 

 fine waved line ; this last and the innermost of the outer series form elongate 

 rings ; cell-spot black ; the fascia itself is slightly darker grey and is limited 

 by paler grey bands on each side ; three fine submarginal lines, that edging the 

 pale band lunulate and marked basewards by grey dots on veins ; fringe with basal 

 half darker grey, dotted beyond veins, apical half whitish tipped again with grey. 



Hindwing : whitish, with slight cell-spot and traces of a darker outer line ; 

 fringe greyish. 



Underside of hindwing wholly, of forewing along costal area tinged with 

 bright brick-red ; cell-spots and outer lines well marked. 



Head and thorax grey like forewing ; abdomen whiter, beneath reddish-tinged. 



Expanse of wings : S 30 mm. ; ? 25 mm. 



1 6, 1 ? from Limbani, Carabaya, Peru, 9500 ft., April— May 1904, dry season 

 (Ockenden). 



The ? is throughout rather darker than the c?, and decidedly smaller. 



99. Erebochlora chamaeleonis Schaua and ab. pallidistria nov. and 



subinnotata nov. 

 In his description of this species, Tr. Am. Ent. Soe. xxvii. p. 271 (1901), 

 Mr. Schaus mentions the outer pinkish band from costa to vein 4 of the forewing 

 beneath, but not the pink costal blotches which precede it. Out of ten specimens, 

 7 cJ<J, 3 ? ? (eight from Limbani and the other two from Tinguri, Carabaya), 

 all but one show these plainly. It is evident, even from this short series, that 

 the species is very variable. The white edging of the outer lunulate line, spoken 

 of by Schaus, is often absent ; on the other hand, some examples show a thin or 

 thick white crescent in the middle of the cell, sometimes followed by other pale 

 marks. The insect called by me E. albistrota (Xoc. Zool. xii. p. 331) is evidently 

 an extreme example of this aberration ; auother, which may be known as 

 pallidistria, has a broad pinkish green smear from base running through cell to 

 submarginal line, obliterating the markings; in one example this streak starts 

 from middle of cell only, and is interrupted beyond cell. In the ? ? the dark 

 pink or pale-edged line on the underside of the hindwing runs in the middle of a 

 broad pink band, and this is the case likewise in one 3. On the other hand, one S, 

 ab. subinnotata, has the whole underside olive fuscous without any trace of pink 

 or white scales along costa. 



100. Eriopygidia ? leucocyma spec. nov. 

 Forewing : deep olive-green ; the lines white, broad ; first at one-sixth, 

 vertical, subangulated ; second at one-third, angled outwards on mediau vein, 

 obscurely lnnulate-dentate ; third at two-thirds, lunulate-dentate, inangulate beyond 

 cell, outenrved between veins 5 and 2; submarginal line much interrupted, waved 

 and distinct from costa to vein 0, where it is joined by an obliipie white streak 

 from below apex, marked by faint lunnles below middle ; veins white at margin ; 

 fringe green.
