7. Opodiphtera fervida sp. nov. 



cf. Yellowish orange, of a raucli brighter tint than the ? of 0. astrophela 

 Walk. (1855). Branches of antenna longer. 



V ppcrMde : forewing broader, the veins pnrplish brown between discal line 

 and cell and a little beyond discal line ; this latter with a more prominent whitish 



border; proximal half of outer ring of ocellus reddish, thicker than outer half 



Hindwing with a straight purple-brown line i)ro.Nimal]y to ocellus ; discal line 

 heavier than in astroplu'la ; ocellus round, its diameter eipialling the distance 

 of the ocellus from the discal line, outer ring thicker than in astrophela. 



Ground-colour of underside a little paler than above, much shaded with pink- 

 grey ; ocellus on both wings conspicuous, round, vinous red or pinkish ochrateous, 

 with the white ring comjilete. 



Genitalia difierent from those of 0. astrophela. 



?. Vinaceous tawny above, the hindwing especially being much suffused with 

 vinous red, iris of ocelli dull orange, otherwise the wmgs as in i. 



Underside almost uniformly vinous red, strongly recalling 0. lorunthi Lucas

 half black, iris pinkish ochraceous.

8. Automeris falco sp. nov.

The black belts on upperside of abdomen broader. Forewing produced into a 



hook which is mnch longer thau in A. liberia; discocellular patch outlined by 

 four very conspicuous black dots, three at outer side and one at lower inner 

 corner; discal line nearer the margin, edged on inner side by a prominent 



yellowish buff line. Hindwing as in ^4. liberia, but the dayish marginal band 



a little narrower at anal angle than in that species. 



Underside slightly jialer than in .1. liberia ; the ocellus transverse, narrower 

 than in A. liberia, twice as long as broad, its white central dot exceedingly 

 small ; discal line more oblique, owing to the apex of the wing being so 

 strongly produced. 



Tenth abdominal tergite club-shaped. 



Two S3 from La Union, Rio Hnacamayo, Carabaya, Sonth-East Peru, 

 2000 ft., December 1904 (G. R. Ockenden).
