32. Actinote leontine mesia subsp. nov. 



cJ. Similar to .1. 1, leontine ; as in that form tlie black border of hiiidwiug very 

 strongly tapering posteriorly, being restricted to the extreme edge of the wing; 

 proximal area of forewing reaching close to outer margin at SJP. 



On underside the apex of forewing is brown-black with the streaks very 

 feebly marked, the yellow discal band therefore sharply defined, as in catochaera ; 

 onter half of hindwing blackish brown, with or without a band of creamy buff 

 streaks midway between cell and outer margin. 



Three iS from Cuenca, Ecuador, 2(M.H» m., May 1899 (Simons). 



33. Actinote momina sp. nov. 



(?. Resembles A. nici/lla Hopff. (1874), which occurs in tiie same district. 

 Palpi without light-coloured scaling at sides. On npperside the basal area of 

 forewing extended to liiudmargiu, the streak situated below SM" being well 

 developed, while it is very thin or absent in A. n. niojlla \ the veins traversing the 

 discal band distinctly black, the band therefore more broken up, spot R' of band 

 often with pale centre. Black border and streaks of hindwing broader than in 

 A. nii'i/llit, the former less sharply defined, the abdominal area shaded with 

 black. ' 



On underside the discal band of forewing stops at fold between M' and M- ; 

 apical area streaked with orange-tawny, at hind angle within the black band a thin 

 admarginal line of the same colour, usnally joining the orange proximal area, which 

 is more or less proditced distad at SM". 



?. Palpi with pale scales at sides. -Forewing shorter than in ? ot 



A. niciflln ; markings as in <S , but less jiure in colour, basal area much shaded 



with black. -Hindwing pale buff, shading off into orange-tawny from apex of 



cell, black border broader than in ? of .1. nici/lla nici/Ua, not sharply defined, 

 the black streaks broad. 



On the underside the whole hindwing (excepting a feeble brown shadow 

 around apex of cell) and the apex and costal margin of forewing buff-grey streaked 

 with black-brown. 



In both sexes the lower angle of cell in fore- and hindwing more produced 

 than in .1. niei/lla ; the distance from the point where the setiferous cell-fold of the 

 hindwing joins the cross-veins to the origin of M= being about the same as the 

 distance from the former ])oint to the lower angle of cell, while in .1. nic;/lla 

 the former distance is much the larger. 



A series of cJcJ and one ¥ from Peru : Iluancabamba (near Cerro de Pasco); 

 Oallanga, Cuzco; Rio Toro, Chanchamayo district. Type from Rio Toro.
