Expanse of wings : 36—38 mm. 



3 c?c? from Cushi, Hiii'muco, 1 '■•ni. [900 m. (Hoffmanns). 



Closely resembling .1/. mera Drnce, hut the course of the onter line is different. 



299. Melinodes subapicata ab. latimargo nov. 



Distinguished from the type-form by the much broader dark marginal area, 

 the outer line being nearer the centre of wing and more strongly curved. 



2 ? ?, one from Poznzo, Huannco, Pern, 800 — 1000 m. (Hoffmanns), type; 

 the other from La Oroya, E. Inambari, Peru, 3100 ft., September 1904] dry season 

 (Ockenden). 



This will, I think, most probably prove to be a distinct species. 



300. Melinodes snbspurcata spec. nov. 



Forewing : pale yellow, densely speckled with olive tawny, the basal area and 

 marginal area of both wings somewhat tinged with tawny ; the veins tawny : costa 

 of forewing speckled with brown on basal half; lines dark brown; first from 

 one-third of costa to one-third of inner margin, bent on subcostal vein, then 

 straight, slightly oblique outwards; outer line from four-fifths of costa to two- 

 thirds of inner margin, bent on vein 0, marked, like inner line, with darker dashes 

 on veins, and followed by white acute points ; cell-spot obscure, dark ; traces of 

 darker submarginal blotches suggesting a line, especially below costa ; space 

 between veins 3 and 4 filled in with olive-grey ; fringe olive-grey. 



Hindwing : with the line just beyond middle, slightly bent outwards in middle. 



Underside dull greyish ochreous, speckled, especially in forewing, with greyish 

 fuscous ; the lines dull grey-brown. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; vertex pale ochreous : face aud palpi 

 externally grey -brown, lower half of face paler. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



3 $$ from Charaplaya, Bolivia, June 1901 (Simons). 



301. Meticulodes amniculata spec. nov. 



Closely resembling M. periculosaria Oberth. and differentiated mainly by the 

 outer line of forewing aud by the underside. In Oberthiir's species the outer line 

 is fine and fiexuons ; in amniculata it is evenly curved parallel to the outer margin, 

 and forms a regular succession of lnnules betweeu the veins ; the angle of the 

 inner Hue in cell is not so close to the white cell-mark as in periculosaria ; the 

 marginal line in the present species is thick and black, the fringe dark grey, 

 with a paler base; in periculosaria the marginal line is fine, and the, fringe dull 

 grey-brown. In the hindwing the outer line iu amniculata is straighter, and 

 preceded on inner margin by some white streaks. 



Underneath the present species is thickly suffused aud strignlated with 

 blackish, the inner margins on both wings paler aud the markings indistinct ; in 

 periculosaria the forewing is pale grey above the median with the cell clouded 

 dark grey aud a black marginal blotch from below apex to vein 2, the inner 

 half of wing from base to margin much whiter; and the hindwing is tinged 

 with brown. 



Expanse of wings : 48 mm.
