THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 87 



by the writer, were collected by Mr. Klages, who endured much privation 

 and suffering during his expedition along the Orinoco river, which 

 hindered him greatly in procuring a large number of specimens ; never, 

 theless, he can rest with the satisfaction that the number of species 

 collected by him more than repay the difficulties encountered. 



Achylodes heros, n. sp. — Male. This species is intermediate between 

 A. sebaldus, Fahr., and A. melander, Cram.; the ground colour is much 

 lighter brown than either of the above-mentioned species on the upper 

 side ; also the discal black bands are more widely separated ; the outer 

 marginal band is very narrow. 



On the upper side of the hind wings the most conspicuous character is 

 the large bright buff lunated spots in the anal angle. On the under side of the 

 fore wings the ground colour is much paler than above ; the markings are 

 very close to those of A. melander. Under side of the hind wings much 

 the same as in A. melander, except that the anal angle is buff instead of 

 orange, and the abdominal margin is also orange in colour, which extends 

 to the base of the wing. 



Exp. one inch and seven-eighths. Hab. : Suapure, Venezuela. 



Type in my collection. 



Sphingicampa Smit/iii, n. sp. — Male. Head pale buff; an tenure 

 brown ; upper side of the thorax pale brown, which colour grows lighter 

 as it extends towards the tip of the abdomen, where it is a pale buff on 

 the last three joints. 



Fore wings of a uniform chestnut brown along the costal area ; the 

 outer margin and inner space to the base of the wing have a purplish 

 cast, and through this space there are three pale brown bars, beginning at 

 the lower side of the discal cell, and extending to the inner margin. The 

 hind wings are pale brown, the basal area is much lighter. Under side of 

 the fore wings is yellowish, with a suffusion of brown ; the costal and 

 outer margins are tinted with purple ; under side of the hind wings is 

 uniform pale buff; the thorax, abdomen and legs are also buff.

 America.

This fine moth was captured by Herbert T. Smith in the latter part 

 of November, 18S8, and Mr. Smith has informed me that this specimen 

 was the only example seen during all his rambles in South America.
