NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIV. 191 7. "JOl 



tinge, a few cream-coloured spots on metathorax and base of abdomen. Under- 

 side and legs pale, the foreleg reddened on inner side ; hindtibia with strong 

 tufts and a single spur ; hindtarsus thickened, abbreviated, stronglj' tufted. 



Forewing fairly broad, termen curved ; SC" from cell ; cream-colour, with 

 rufous irroration. but mostly occupied by the extended dark, oUve-tinted brown 

 markings ; a costal spot and one or two irregular hues near base ; a broad band 

 (averaging nearly 4 mm.) before middle, its proximal edge oblique inward and 

 somewhat sinuous, its distal touching the cell-mark, incui-ved behind cell, some- 

 what oblique outward to hindmargin beyond middle ; a red subcostal spot in 

 middle of this band ; cell-mark elongate, of the ground-colour but dark-edged 

 its proximal edge on DC'"', slightly incurved, its distal tridentate (on the radials) ; 

 a broad (4-5 mm.) distal border, bounded proximally by a chain of whitish, 

 rufous-edged spots, which is sUghtly incurved between the radials and outbent 

 between R' and M' ; a moderately large subapical patch of the ground-colour 

 bounded behind by R' and a second (submarginal) from before JI' to behind 

 M% each of these patches followed at distal margin by a pair of small spots ; 

 terminal line at these points rufous ; fringe strongly dark-spotted. Hind- 

 wing with termen subcrenulate, SC very shortly stalked ; almost entirely dark- 

 clouded, the ground-colour only showing in a very small basal patch and an 

 elongate subtornal one which crosses M' and is accompanied at distal margin 

 by three small pale spots ; on the dark area stand two black discal dots, 

 a strongly curved blackish central line and a very indistinct postmedian, edged 

 distally by a few reddish scales, shghtly sinuous anteriorly and forming a 

 sharp outward angle behind R*. 



Both wings beneath buff to buff-yellow, with weak rufous irroration, the 

 dark markings chocolate, on forewing nearly as above, but with the proximal 

 band fading out behind cell (the posterior region shiny pale grey), on hindwing 

 confined to a subbasal patch and a broad terminal band from apex nearly to 

 R' ; both wings showing in addition well-developed crenulate median and post- 

 median hnes, the former strongly outbent well beyond the cell. 



La Oroya, Rio Inambari, S.E. Peru, 3,100 ft., December 1905, wet season 

 (G. R. Ockenden). Type in coll. Tring Museum. Near commaculata Warr. 

 (Nov. ZooL. iv. 435). 



14. Semaeopus catamompha spec. nov. 



(J, 27-28 mm. Much smaller and decidedly paler than the preceding. 

 Face and palpus mostly pale. Thorax above not or scarcely darkened. 



Forewing with the antemodian dark band narrower and ill-defined ; cell- 

 mark quite dift'erent, consisting of a pair of black dots, as on hindwing ; a 

 median fine, strongly incurved, well beyond (as on underside) ; distal border 

 narrower, interrupted at the medians, the whitish proximal spots before and 

 behind M' enlarged (especially the former), the subapical distal patch reaching 

 R', consequently accompanied at termen by three pale spots. 



Underside with the cloudings quite weak and restricted, the subbasal of 

 hindwing virtually wanting.
