302. Meticulodes consimilis spec. hov. 



Forewing : pale grey, dusted with darker ; the basal area, costal half of 

 central area, and the outer marginal border darker grey ; first line from one-fonrth 

 of costa oblique outwards and bluntly bent in cell, startiug again from median vein 

 at one-fourth and oblique outwards, as m fraterna Warr., to middle of inner margin, 

 edged outwardly with black ; outer line from three-fourths of costa, parallel in 

 the main to outer margin, forming slight luuules between the veins, that on 

 submedian fold the largest and that between 3 aud 4 projecting, edged inwardly 

 thickly with deep black ; the interval between the lines below median vein very 

 dark purplish grey, almost black ; a whitish oval space on discocellnlar containing 

 two minute superimposed black dots ; the inner half of marginal area pale whitish 

 grey (in one specimen with a darker grey cloudy line beyond the outer line), the 

 outer half with its inner edge slightly darker and crenulate ; a small white 

 submarginal dot above vein 0, and a black one above 2 ; fringe luteons grey, 

 denticulate at veins. 



Hindwing : pale grey with a darker grey, pale-edged outer line, elbowed on 

 submedian fold, preceded by a darker grey shading ; fringe and outer margin 

 dark grey. 



Underside dark brown-grey with a faint rufous tinge; forewing with outer 

 line double, blurred ; inner marginal half glossy whitish ; cell-spot white : 

 hindwing more speckled thonghout, but the inner half whitish ; a black white- 

 centred cell-spot, and black white-edged outer line. 



Head and thorax dark grey ; abdomen paler grey. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



2 S3 from Cushi, Huanuco, Peru, 1900 m. (Hoffmanns). 



Differs from scitaria Oberth. and fraterna Warr. by the absence of the 

 ferruginous tints of the underside and of the yellow or fulvous spot beyond cell of 

 forewing on upperside, and by the pale grey, not blackish, fringe. 



303. Meticulodes fraterna spec. nov. 



Very near M. scitaria Oberth., from which it may be distinguished by the 

 following points. The inner line below the median vein is outwardly, not inwardly, 

 oblique, running out to middle of inner margin ; the outer line at vein has no 

 inner arm continued straight as a black line to inner margin ; the outer arm runs 

 as in scitaria, except that the projections above vein 4 and on the submedian fold 

 are more rounded, less angular, than in scitaria ; in fraterna again the space 

 beyond cell to outer line is bronzy fulvous ; in scitaria 'only the narrow space 

 between the two arms of the outer line is pale yellowish ; on the underside the 

 coloration is less bright, the ferruginous apical areas paler, and the outer line 

 is single. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm.
