Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



4c?c? from La Oroya, U. Inambari, S.E. Peru, 3100ft., October 1904, wet 

 season (Ockenden). 



287. Eustenophasma constricta spec. nov. 



Resembles E. fuscata in coloration, but smaller ; the first line fine and dark, 

 slightly bent outwards at costa and inwards at inner margin, preceded by a paler 

 band tinged with purplish grey ; the outer line in its sinus between 1 and 3 

 approaching more closely to inuer line, so that the central dark olive-fnscous fascia 

 is there much constricted; costal area beyond outer line whitish grey to apex, 

 containing a bilobed brownish blotch, which is scarcely visible in fuscata : in the 

 hindwing the outer line is irregular, starting from inner margin further from anal 

 angle, forming a sinus inwards with obscure denticulation to vein 4, vertically 

 projecting between 4 and 6, and again curved inwards to costa ; cell-spot distinct. 



Underside much paler, more lilac-grey, especially in the hindwing, darker 

 along the margin, with the lines regularly lunulate-dentate and nearer outer margin 

 than above. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen olive-fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 20 mm. 



1 <5 from Cushi, Huanuco, Peru, 1900 m. (Hoffmanns). 



288. Eustenophasma fuscata spec. nov. 



Differs from E. violacea in being without any violaceous tints. 



Forewing : olive-fuscous ; first line placed as in violacea but quite simple, pale 

 ochreous, slightly bent outwards at costa ; outer line shaped much as in violacea, 

 but edged with whitish at costa and marked by white dots on the veins, the inward 

 sinus between veins 1 and 3 entire, not broken by a tooth at vein 2 ; space between 

 the lines darker fuscous ; an oblique pale streak from costa before apex towards 

 aDgle of outer line ; a darker cloud at anal angle ; fringe coucolorous, with dark 

 basal and dividing lines ; cell-spot black. 



Him/winy : with a dentate-lnnulate outer line, much as in violacea, but at anal 

 angle nearer the outer margin ; basal three-fourths darker than the marginal area : 

 a slight dark cell-spot ; costal area whitish. 



Underside dull speckled fuscous ; the margins darker, especially at apex of 

 forewing ; the outer line marked in forewing, not corresponding to that of upperside, 

 dotted with white on veins ; a whitish oblique streak lrom costa before apex. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen all fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 33 mm. 



1 $ from Cushi, Huanuco, Pern, 1900 m. (Hoffmanns). 



289. Eustenophasma violacea spec. nov. 

 Forewing : blackish at base, the central area olive-brown, the outer olive-brown 

 varied with dull lilac-grey ; basal patch and central fascia with inwardly oblique 

 parallel edges, the intervening space lilac -grey, traversed by a thick brownish line; 

 outer edge of central fascia oblique outwards from three-fourths of costa to vein 0, 

 then bluntly angled and sharply oblique inwards, lunulate-dentate, to just beyond 

 middle of inner margin, with a fine lilac-grey edging, followed by a thick olive- 

 brown shade ; the inner edge of central fascia and the cell-spot darker brown than 

 the rest of fascia; a flattened costal blotch before apex, margined with bluish white
