78 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



spots on under side of hind wing sometimes show on the upper surface. 

 There is also a third spot between them. It is quite probable that in a 

 large series of specimens these white spots would vary in number and 

 development. 



It bears a close resemblance to M. celefe:, Bates, the l)lack border 

 being, however, much broader. 



NyniphidiiDH Blakei, sp. nov. 



Habitat: Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse, r.oo inch. 



Head, thorax and abdomen above black, beneath white. Antennce 

 black, with white annulations at base of each joint. Club black above, 

 white beneath. Legs white. 



Fore wing above white, excepting costa, apex and hind margin. 

 Costa black. Apical area black. Hind margin black, with a white thread 

 just within the margin. Within this thread is a series of interspacial 

 semicircles of white, which, with the white marginal thread, gives the 

 appearance of a series of interspacial wliite circles extending from apex to 

 lower angle. At the extreme edge of the hind margin, just below the 

 apex, is a white dot, and another opposite the end of the first submedian 

 interspace. 



Upper side of hind wing the same as fore wing, except that the costa 

 u white, and the two hind marginal spots are absen'.. 



The black hind marginal border of both wings, and the black costal 

 border of fore wing, are one-sixteenth inch wide. 



Under side of fore wing is the same as upper surface, except that the 

 two hind marginal white spots are more prominent, and there is a third 

 one at the end of the lowest submedian interspace. 



The under side of hind wing is the same as upper surface, except 

 that the three hind marginal spots of the under side of fore wing are 

 repeated. 



This species is not in the larger collections of this country, nor in the 

 British Museum. 



Taken in September, 1899.
