Habitat. Ciudad de Guatemala (Rodriguez), 2 SS, 1 ?• 



22. Lirimiris chimaera spec. nov. 



<J. Allied to truncata, but at once distinguished by its very long, narrow, 

 and strongly curved forewLngs.

23. Liiimiiis lemoiilti spec. nov.

[Lirimiris elongata Schaus and L. euribya (Druce). 



Mr. Schaus has united these two insects as the same species, but they are 

 really two very distinct species. L. euribya is much smaller and has the costa 

 much straighter, i.e. much less convex. The basal two-thuds of the forewings 

 are orange-cinnamon and the outer one-third cinnamon-buff, while in elongata 

 the basal half of the forewing is greyish wood-brown, the outer half being wood-
