 third of inner margin. 



Vertex white ; thorax and abdomen bone-colonr, only the patagia green ;

41. Oospila semiviridis spec. nov. 



Forewiny : like loiujijilaya., but the two blotches bone-colour, almost without

Flhuhrimj : with the anal blotch reaching only one-third along inner margin, 

 and bilobed towards base ; a shallow blotch of bone-colour on inner margin before 

 middle. 



Thorax and two basal segments of dorsum deep green ; face and palpi reddish 

 brown ; vertex rufous ochreons ; abdomen pale with the tufts metallic reddish.

 (Ockenden). 



42. Prohydata benepicta spec. nov. 



Forewing : bright pale green ; the markings brown — viz. a basal patch with 

 some green in centre, its edge vertical but slightly curved, and a broad sinuous 

 baud occupying the outer half of wing, its inner edge with a deep outward sinus 

 between veins 2 and 5, its outer angularly indented above vein 6, where there is 

 a large triangular green patch on outer margin ; the band runs to margin at apex 

 and at vein 3; an interrupted brown marginal line; fringe greenish, slightly mottled 

 with brown. 



llimhviiig : similar, but the brown band is traversed by a narrow, very sinuous, 

 green postmedian line, and reaches the margin throughout except for a green 

 triangle between 4 and ; marginal line brown ; fringe green, marked with brown 

 at the angle at veiu 0. 



Underside very pale green, with the brown markings showing through. 



Vertex, thorax, and dorsum brown ; face brown and green ; fillet white. 



Expanse of wings : 18 mm. 



1 cJ from Fonte Boa, Upper Amazons, August 1906 (Klages). 



43. Racheoloplia heteromorpha spec. nov. 



Closely resembling 1!. jdunmaculata Warr. from Peru, from which it differs 

 in the shape of the hindwing. The outer margin is rounded in the Peruvian 

 species, but produced in the present one to a small tooth at veiu 4, the margin 

 below it to anal angle straight with faint crenulations, above it sinuous, the apical 

 ani'le being well rounded and the margin slightly concave between veins and 4. 

 Tiiere is also a slight difference in markings : the pale blotches on margin have 

 the veins pinkish and brown-dotted, as in pltirinaculata ; but are also crossed 

 transversely by pinkish red-brown dotted clouds, that in the apical blotch of 

 hindwing being conspicuous ; the upper blotches do not extend below vein 4 in 

 either wing ; the blotch on inner margin of hindwing is longer and shallower ; 

 the tooth is filled up with red-browu.
