( 42<; ) 



bordered by a deep vinaceous discal line, costal area from apex of cell to discal line 



yellowish tawny; a large black discocellular spot centred with white. Hindwing 



vinaceous buff, the costal margin darker ; a feeble discal line from near apex 

 to about middle of disc. 



Genitalia : Anal tergite sinuate at apex, each lobe bearing two black transverse 

 teeth ; on npperside of the tergite a large, pale, transversely folded, proboscis-like 

 projection. Claspei large, sole-shaped or truncate, with a basal ventral ridge which 

 terminates in an obtuse tooth. Penis-sheath produced into one or two apical 

 processes. 



Hub. Pern and Venezuela. 



Two subspecies. 



The large, black, white-centred discocellular spot on the underside of the 

 forewing easily distinguishes this insect from its near allies, the genitalia, moreover, 

 being very different. 



38a. Othorene ocellata ocellata. 



c?. Less than twenty segments of the antenna pectinate. White discocellular 

 spot of forewing transverse, at least on the underside. Clasper long, sole-shaped, 

 snbacuminate. Penis-sheath with one conical apical process. 



Hab. Carabaya, South-East Peru ; La Oroya at the Rio Inambari, Tinguri 

 and Santo Domingo (G. R. Ockenden). 



A series. 



386. Othorene ocellata bidens subsp. nov. 



ct. Antenna with more than twenty segments pectinate. Black discocellular 

 spot of underside of forewing rounded, with rounded white centre. Dorsal process 

 of anal tergite longer than in the preceding subspecies ; the clasper truncate, 

 much shorter than in (7. o. ocellata, with an additional low ridge, which ends at 

 the ventral margin before the apex. Penis-sheath with two long apical processes, 

 the one conical, the other spatulate, being dentate at the edges. 



Hab. Merida, Venezuela (Briceflo). 



2 <J<J. 



39. Othorene adusta spec. nov. 



<S . Body orange-buff on upperside, head and underside of body creamy buff, 

 slightly vinaceous. Sides of mesonotum and the basal and distal areas of forewing 

 shaded with vinaceous fawn-colour. 



Wings, above : forewing with a straight autemodian and a nearly straight 

 discal line, both brownish black, the area between these two lines orange, as are 

 also some large patches situated outside the discal line between 3. radial and 



hindmargin. Hindwing much more rounded, especially at anal angle, than 



in 0. jason Boisd. (1872), nisa Druce (1004), and the species described above, 

 orange-buff from base to the faint discal line aud as far backwards as middle 

 of cell ; rest of wing tawny, being somewhat reddish below apex of cell. 



Underside : forewing orange-ochraceous shaded with brown towards apex, 

 the costal margin from base to three-fourths, and the distal marginal area except 

 a triangular space at hindmargin vinaceous fawn-colour ; on discocellulars a 



faint brownish spot. Hindwing creamy buff, the costal and distal margins 



broadly vinaceous fawn-colour ; a brownish shade from costal margin near apex 

 parallel to distal margin, gradually fading away between the median veins.
