( 2?3 ) 



Hindwing : with the luuulate-dentate postmcdian line and accompanying 



series of grey lunules very distinct ; the subinarginal blotch beyond cell black and 

 conspicuous. 



Underside white with only the costa of forewing striated ; the quadrate apical 

 patch abruptly cut off at vein 4 ; in a second example there is a narrower grey- 

 brown cloud from it to vein 2, and a blackish streak, swollen between veins, from 

 apex to vein 4 of hindwing. 



Face, palpi, and antennae brown ; thorax and abdomen chalk-white. 



Expanse of wings : S 56 to 65 mm. 



2 c?cf, the larger (type) from Sauto Domingo, Carabaya, Peru, 6500 ft., 

 December 1902, wet season (Ockenden) ; the smaller from Patino cue, Paraguay, 

 February (Montforts). 



217. Bryoptera deformipennis spec. nov. 



c?. Forewing: white, with a flesh-coloured tinge, except along the two folds; 

 costa striated with grey and a few grey speckles about the wing ; lines black, thick 

 and interrupted ; first at one-fourth, incurved below, preceded by a grey shade ; 

 outer from three-fourths of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, black-marked on 

 veins, angled on vein 4 and insinuate above ; median line thicker, strongly angled 

 outwards within the angle of outer line ; outer line followed by olive-grey blotches 

 at costa, beyond cell, and in submedian interval ; praesubmarginal shade marked 

 only at costa and beyond cell, and below try grey dots on veins ; outer shade 

 complete, of olive-grey lunules, the extreme margin again pale, with black marginal 

 spots ; fringe flesh-colour. 



Hindwing : with an olive streak at base ; the median line thick, curved to the 

 black cell-spot, preceded by an olive shade, and rising just above outer line, from 

 which an olive blotch runs to the base of snbmarginal line. The wing is triangular 

 in shape, the costa, as long as costa of forewing, straight and produced to a blunt 

 point, the outer margin also being but slightly curved. 



Underside dull pinkish ochreous with traces of a brown snbmarginal cloud. 



Head, thorax, and basal half of abdomen white, the last with olive-grey bauds ; 

 anal half pale fawn without markings ; palpi externally with fuscous scaling. 



Expanse of wings ; 30 mm. 



1 (? from La Oroya, Ii, Inambari, S.E. Peru, 3100 ft., March 1905, wet season 

 (Ockenden). 



In what I believe to be the ? of this species, all the grey markings are 

 decidedly olive-green, the wings are more thickly speckled, and the pinkish shading 

 more concise. The apex of hindwing is slightly more produced and prominent thau 

 in the ? of any other species of Bryoptera, and the scaling of the abdomen agrees 

 with that of the <J. The underside, however, differs, being dull grey with a darker 

 cell-spot and central line, and broad darker grey marginal border, with the fringes 

 white, much as in B. discata Guen. 



This ?, which is of the same size as the i, is from La Union, R. Huacamayo, 

 Carabaya, Peru, 2000 ft., December 1904, wet season (Ockenden). 



218. Bryoptera subnigra spec. nov. 

 Forewing : white, shaded and striated with olive-grey ; the lines black, 

 irregular; first from one-fourth of costa to one-third of inner margin, crinkled and 

 strongly outcurved, preceded by a broad brownish yellow shade ; outer line, from
