1 c? from Tingnri, Carabaya, Pern, 3400 ft., August 1004, dry season 

 (Ockenden), type; 1 ? from Limbani, Carabaya, Peru, 9000 ft, February—

In thee? the outer margin of forewing is evenly curved; in the ? more 

 gibbons with the apex produced. 



Distinguished from forth Warr. by the pale scaled discal spot, and inwardly 

 oblique first line of forewing. 



277. Bassania olivacea spec, now 



Forewing : pinkish ochreons, covered with fine olive striae ; along the costa and 

 at base and beyond the outer line the wing is suffused with olive, the marginal 

 area being conspicuously dark but fading out before outer margin, which is again 

 pinkish ochreons ; the inner liue is very faint, except at inner margin ; the outer, 

 distinct, sinuous, and obscurely double, rises from just beyond middle of inner 

 margin and above the cell is curved on to costa ; submarginal line or shade rarely 

 plain ; fringe pinkish ochreons ; cell-spot black in a small clear space. 



Hindwing : pale ochreons, tinged with yellow towards abdominal margin, the 

 marginal third olive-tinged and speckled with black ; a straight postmedian line

 crenulate, the wings shorter and broader, and all t lie markings darker.
