vein 7 ; fourth snbmarginal, slightly waved, also ending on vein 7, so that the 

 white band between second and third green streak runs with a uniform curve to 

 apex ; fringe (worn) white. 



Hindwing : with base green, and two short broad green bands not reaching 

 costa ; fringe white. 



Underside with the costal stripe of forewing diffnsely edged below ; first streak 

 absent ; second obsolete below 2, much thickened above, and produced into a 

 biangnlate projection on veins 3 and 4 ; third and fonrth diffuse and interrupted ; 

 hindwing with base and a narrow band before middle green. 



Head, shoulders, patagia, and the front half of each dorsal segment green ; 

 thorax and rest of abdomen white ; abdomen below and hindlegs white ; fore and 

 middle tarsi dark green. 



Expanse of wings : 36 mm. 



1 S from E. Huacamayo, Carabaya, Peru, 3,100 ft., Juue 1904, dry season 

 (Ockenden). 



A neater insect than amata Cram. ; the outer margin of forewing more curved 

 and shorter, so that the wing is narrower. The markings are deeper green and 

 better defined, and the white purer. 



140. Dyspteris extremata spec. nov. 



Forewing : white ; markings blue-green ; a broad costal stripe, somewhat 

 diffusely edged below, leaving the basal half of costal edge whitish ; four oblique 

 green streaks from inner margin : first at one-fourth, narrowing upwards to costal 

 stripe at two-fifths; second from middle, oblique and slightly sinuous to a projection 

 from lower edge of costal stripe at two-thirds ; third from two-thirds, very broad at 

 origin, ending in a point at vein 7, where it coalesces with the fourth, which starts 

 narrow from anal angle and thickens upwards; green marginal luunles, above 

 middle absorbed in outer streak ; fringe white below middle, green above. 



Hindwing : with base and three narrow bauds green, the outermost curved 

 above to costa. 



Underside with costal stripe of forewing broad and well defined, cut by a white 

 line at two-thirds, which is edged with green spots between veins, and continued 

 as a green interrupted line to middle of inner margin ; a large green blotch beyond 

 middle on vein 2, and another close to margin from 4 to 7 ; marginal lunules 

 distinct, and above the middle enlarged ; hindwing with a slight green line before 

 middle ; the markings all deep green. 



Head, shoulders, and patagia green ; thorax, tips of patagia, and abdomen 

 white ; the last with green belts ; abdomen beneath white ; fore and mid tarsi 

 green. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm. 



1 ? from Obydos, Amazons, October, November 1904 (de Mathan). 



The antennae of this ? are as strongly pectinated as in the S. 



Differs in having the third streak the broadest, not the second. 



147. Dyspteris subcoerulea spec. nov. 

 Forewing: bluish green ; a small whitish cell-spot; a faint whitish line from 

 two-thirds of inner margin running parallel to outer margin, but scarcely perceptible 

 except at its rise ; costa with four or five brown dashes before .apex ; a purple- 

 brown marginal line; fringe whitish, with purple-brown spots beyond the veins.
