marginal line ; fringe i»ale, mottled with olive, with a narrow dark line close 

 to base. 



Hindwing : with the space along inner margin below median and vein 2, like 

 forewing ; the rest white without markings ; a small cell-spot. 



Underside of wings glossy ochreous ; forewing greyish towards costa, where 

 also the lines are marked; hindwing with six faint curved lines across wing, 

 plainest ou inner margin. 



Palpi greenish fuscous with some white scales ; face brown ; thorax and 

 abdomen olive ochreous, with the dark lines of the wings repeated across them. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



1 c? from Limbani, Carabaya, Pern, 9500 ft, May 1904, dry season 

 (Ockenden). 



170. Tephroclystia rubellicincta ab. birufata nov. 



The type of this species is a ? ; the amount of red in the forewing varies 

 much, and sometimes appears to be nearly obsolete, so that it is possible that 

 madura Dogn., described from 2 S <S , in which no mention is made of any red 

 tints, may be the same species. In all cases, however, the second segment of the 

 abdomen and the penultimate segment are marked with red. The hindwing is 

 whiter and less strongly marked with lines than the ?. For one very pale cf, 

 however, which may prove specifically distinct, in which the red tints are more 

 extensive than usual, I propose the name birufata as an aberration. In this the 

 centre of the band before central fascia is broadly red, and the first three lines 

 of the fascia itself are red, not grey, and the whole of the praesubmarginal shade 

 is of the same colour ; while on the abdomen the second and praeanal segments 

 are broadly red. 



This S comes from Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, Peru, 6400 feet, (Bbttger). 



171. Tephroclystia rufivenata spec. nov. 



Forewing : pale olive from base to central fascia, with a dark curved line 

 close to base, and two close together before the fascia, these lines edged with 

 whitish ; inner edge of fascia evenly curved at one-third ; outer at two-thirds, 

 but strongly excurved from subcostal vein to 2, on which it is indented, thence 

 curved ; inner half of fascia brown-black ; outer edge interruptedly blackish ; 

 discocellular marked by a straight oblique black bar touching the inner band, 

 followed by a round white patch with a dark dot at middle, and edged outwardly 

 by a strongly marked black dentate line; subcostal and median veins and all the 

 nervules pale rusty, the space between 2 and 4 more or less smeared with rust- 

 colour ; a broad oblique pale streak from apex to central fascia at vein 6 ; prae- 

 submarginal shade brown-black, interrupted first by the oblique streak, and again 

 between 2 and 4 ; submarginal line wavy, white, marked by a large white spot 

 between 3 and 4 ; marginal area ferruginous and blackish ; marginal line black ; 

 fringe mottled black and white. 



Hindwing : luteous grey, with traces of straight dark grey lines, plain only 

 on inner margin, where the anal angle is dark ; fringe glossy, ochreous grey. 



Underside of forewing blurred grey in inner marginal half, towards costa with 

 the lines and intervals dark grey and whitish ; hindwing whitish, dark-speckled, 

 with five dark brown lines, the outer two dentate, with finer lines between, all 

 very concise ; cell-spots black ; fringe of forewing dark mottled, of hindwing pale.
