angled outwards on the veins ; cell-spot black, distinct, beneath an oblique purplish 

 costal streak ; a quadrate purplish spot beyond it at fourth-fifths, from which the 

 olive-brown outer line arises, running out along vein 7, acutely angled before apex, 

 then straight ami obliqne to three-fifths of inner margin ; it is preceded by a mossy- 

 green shade, thick and diffuse above middle, thinning ont towards inner margin; 

 externally the line is finely edged with pale, and followed by a dull suffasion ot 

 flesh-colour, varied with long" olive-green striae towards outer margin; the apex 

 with darker scaliug ; fringe greenish, paler at base and tips. 



Hindwing : similar, but with the costal area whitish, and no dark basal patch; 

 the line straight and central, from vein li to inner margin; cell-spot black. 



Underside densely striated ; forewing yellow to outer line, then dull reddish 

 brown, grey at apex and inner margin ; hindwing less yellow ; the line at two-thirds, 

 curved parallel to outer margin ; cell-spots black. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen cream-colour, speckled with greenish fuscous ; face 

 and shoulders greenish ; vertex whitish. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



1 ? from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Pern, 6500 ft., December 1902, wet 

 season (Ockenden). 



Forewing with apex shortly produced ; outer margin bluntly elbowed at vein 4 ;

273. Apicia fusilinea spec. nov. 



Forewing : dull yellow, coarsely speckled with fuscous, along the course of 

 outer line and in apical area tinged with rufous ; first line at one-third, thick, 

 bluntly angled outwards on median vein ; cell-spot black ; outer line black, from 

 three-fifths of inner margin straight towards apex, angled on vein 7, and retracted 

 to costa, preceded by a broad vinous fuscous shade, and followed by a less con- 

 spicuous and irregular grey shade, beyond which are dark spots below veins 2, 4,

Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm. 



1 ? from Salta, Argentina, April — November 1903 (Steinbach). 



Evidently related to the species described further on as .1. leprosa from

274. Apicia ? lacteata spec. nov. 



Forewing: cream-white, speckled with black atoms; lines fine, blackish, 

 mainly composed of confluent speckling ; first at one-third, bent in cell, then curved 

 inwards, plainest on inner margin, where it is preceded by a slight brownish shade ; 

 outer line from five-sixths of costa, shortly obliqne outwards, angled on vein 7, 

 then oblique inwards to three-fifths of inner margin, slightly and unevenly curved, 

 followed by a grey shade; a minute blackish cell-spot: extreme outer margin and 

 fringe pale brown. 



Hindwing: with outer line sinuous, parallel to outer margin: inner line 

 faint, straight, preceding the small cell-spot and approaching outer line on inner 

 margin.
