block angle-shaped discocellular spot. TLe long process and the fork of the 

 clasper more strongly dentate.

43. Othorene vinacea spec. nov. 



$. Head, tliorax, and the extreme base and tip of abdomen tawny ochraceons, 

 patagia and abdomen vinaceons, underside of body vinaeeons buff, the coxae partly 

 ochraceons ; 1:5 segments of the antenna pectinate. 



AVings, upperside : forewing vinaceous buff in distal marginal and basal areas, 

 the median area which extends close to the tip of wing being tawny ochraceons; no 

 lines, but the whole wing faintly speckled with fuscous ; no distinct discocellular 



spot. Hindwing vinaceous red, deepest in tint between apex of cell and 



abdominal margin ; distal edge nearly straight. 



Underside : basal half of forewing and abdominal area of hindwing vinaceous 

 red, rest of wings vinaceous pink ; no markings, but costal area of hindwing and 

 distal area of forewing more or less irrorated with fuscous. 



Anal tergite divided into two short lobes, which bear each a small conical 

 tooth on the upperside ; anal sternite flat, triangular. Clasper modified, bearing 

 a scent-organ ; on inner side a black thorn-like process, and another longer one 

 near base. Apex of penis-sheath widened, resembling the involucre of an Arum 



lily. 



Length of forewing : 32 mm.

44. Othorene catoxantha spec. nov. 



S ?. Similar to 0. subangulata H. S. (1855), larger, forewing more pointed, 

 with the antemcdian and discal lines more prominent; the underside of forewing 

 yellow instead of red. Antenna in cf with 16 or 17 pectinated segments, in ? 

 with 23 to 25.

A series. 



(>. acuta Sehaus (1905) is a closely allied species which is paler and smaller, 

 the hindwing bearing above a large red patch instead of being all red, and the 

 black discocellular spot of the underside of the forewing having a white dot. 

 We have acuta from Venezuela aud also from Carabaya, South-East Peru. 



45. Othorene diluta spec. nov. 



? . About twenty segments of the antenna pectinated. Body creamy buff, 

 upperside of abdomen washed with pink. 



Wings, upperside: forewing in shape resembling that of 0. crocata Boisd. 

 (1872), but more elongate, with the tip more pointed ; creamy buff, distal 

 marginal area slightly shaded with fuscous, especially along the fuscous discal 

 line, which extends from apex to two-thirds of hindmargin ; a diffuse fuscons 



antemedian line, angulate in cell ; on discocellnlars a faint fuscons patch. 



Hindwing rosy red, shading into creamy buff at distal margin.
