NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIV. H)17. 377 



Underside mostly wliitish ; forewing in the costal region (except extreme 

 edge) greener, base of costa somewhat mixed with reddish, a minute and rather 

 weak cell-dot, terminal Une chiefly developed in anterior part and extending 

 round the apex as a costal dash between SC and SC* ; fringe as above. 



Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, E. Peru, 6,800 ft. Type in coll. L. B. Prout. 



Near alboseriata Warr., the pectinations and apparently the palpus shorter. 



6. Racheospila variifrons spec. nov. 



?, 28 mm. Face green below, red above. Palpus slender, over two-and-a- 

 half times diameter of eye, third joint very long ; reddish above, pale beneath. 

 Crown green, mixed with white between the antennae. Thorax and abdomen 

 green above, whitish beneath. 



Forewing shaped as in bryata Feld. or shghtly narrower ; SC free, approach- 

 ing C, R' connate, M' connate ; briglit green, shghtly more yellowish than in 

 bryata, costal edge narrowly reddish ; lines very indistinct, rather thick, paler 

 green ; antemedian from one- fifth costa, obUque outward to cell-fold, here and 

 again at submedian fold angled outward ; postmedian from costa just before 

 two-thirds, lunula te-dentate, receding from termen behind M% reaching hind- 

 margin at about three-fifths ; a minute red, black-mixed cell-dot ; traces of 

 a red terminal line at end near apex only ; fringe whitish yellow proximally, 



more grey-white distally. Hindiuing shaped as in bryata, or with termen 



even straighter ; cell very short, M' stalked ; hke forewing but without ante- 

 median line. 



Underside whitish green, unmarked ; costal region of forewing proximally 

 with very slight reddish-smoky suffusion ; apical fringe of forewing darkened. 



Parana, Entre Rios, Argentina. Type in coll. Tring Museum. 



Misidentified by Warren as bryata Feld. ( = flavifimbria Warr., syn. nov.), 

 which is only known to me from Bogota ; in that species the face is wholly 

 green, the vertex white, the antemedian line much straighter, the postmedian 

 less recurved behind M'. 



7. Chloropteryx anisoctena spec. nov. 



cj, 22-26 mm. ; 9, 28-;!0 mm. Face dull reddish. Palpus in 3 extending 

 little beyond frons, with third joint short ; in ? with second joint reaching 

 slightly beyond frons, third joint nearly as long as diameter of eye ; dark 

 above, pale beneath. Vertex white ; occiput green. Antenna in ij on the 

 outer side with serrate teeth ; on the inner side shortly pectinate, the 

 branches nearly twice as long as diameter of shaft ; in $ almost simple on 

 the outer side, very shortly pectinate on the inner, the branches about as 

 long as diameter of shaft. Hindtibia of S with strong hair-pencil and short 

 terminal process. Thorax and abdomen concolorous with wings, abdomen 

 with a dark, pale-crested dorsal patch. 



Foreioing dull grey-green, varying slightly in tone (from that of pallescens 

 Warr. almost to that of subriifescens Warr.) ; costal edge ochreous, rather heavily 

 dotted with black ; lines whitish, weak except on the veins, where they form 

 rather larger, whiter dots ; antemedian deeply cxcurved in cell (almost reaching 

 the dark grey-green cell-dot) and rather less deeply in submedian area ; post- 

 median from a little before two-thirds costa, forming anteriorly a gentle
