314. Nematocainpa interrupts spec. nor. 



Forewing : bone-colour, covered with rust-red speckliiigr, more strongly in the ? ; 

 eosta and lines red-brown ; first line at one-third, thick, vertical ; outer line oblique 

 outwards from two-thirds of costa to vein 5, where it touches a small snbmarginal 

 spot, which is again connected with a red-brown spot on outer margin ; the line 

 ends at two-thirds of inner margin as a short curved streak to veiu 2 ; between 

 2 and 5 the line is obsolete, except in the ? , where there are faint traces of it 

 only ; a dark black-brown snbmarginal blotch before anal angle touching another 

 from outer margin ; marginal line thick, black-brown ; fringe reddish brown ; 

 cell-spot minute. 



Hindwing : with marginal line black-brown, and crcnulate ; a black cell-spot, 

 followed by a sinuous red-brown outer line, which is distinct only in the ¥. 



Underside suffused throughout in the ? with pale brownish, in the c? only 

 in costal half of forewing ; cell-spots and marginal lines dark brown ; fringe 

 pale brown ; costa of forewing in S brown at base ; a deeper rusty cloud at 

 two-thirds of costa before a distinctly white apical blotch. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; dorsum with a double red-brown 

 stripe. 



Expanse of wings ; S 20 mm. ; ? 24 mm. 



2 c?<?, 1 ? from Tingnri, C'arabaya, Pern, 3400 ft., August 1904, dry season 

 (Ockenden). 



Belongs to the group including benescripta Warr. from Chiriqni, eonfusa Warr. 

 from Peru, and falsa Warr. from French Guiana. 



315. Paracomistis analiplaga nom. nov. 



Cabira lignicolor Warr., Nov. Zool. xi. p. 125 (1904). 



Since the description of this species was made I have seen several other 

 examples, and am satisfied that the original reference to Cabira, of which ochro- 

 purpuraria H.S. is the type, was wrong. The transfer to its proper genus 

 Paracomistis will necessitate an alteration in its specific name as well, the original 

 type-species of that genus being already named lignicolor. 



316. Paracomistis orbiferata spec. nov. 



Foreiving : pale ochreons, with fine brown speckling ; costa sometimes dark 

 in basal third ; inner line hardly marked, except by black dots on median and 

 submedian veins ; outer line smoky grey, marked throughout by rather prominent 

 black vein-spots, those on veins 5 and 6 much displaced basewards, from five-sixths of 

 costa to just beyond middle of inner margin ; a large round black cell-spot, followed 

 by a very obscure brownish median shade, which approaches outer line on inner 

 margin ; black dots at end of veins on margin ; fringe ochreous. 



Hindwing: without basal line; the median shade rather stronger, preceding 

 cell-spot. 



Underside paler, with brown speckling towards costa of forewing, where the 

 outer line forms a blackish smudge : cell-spots smaller and black ; marginal spots 

 black. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen ochreous ; legs ochreons, externally, like the 

 palpi, fuscous ; antennal pectinations fuscous, the shaft annnlated dark and light.
