NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXIV. 1917. 383 



double projection in cell, then oblique inward to about one-third hindmargin ; 

 median from nearly three-fourths costa to five-ninths hindmargin, slightly in- 

 curved between the radials and again between M' and SW ; postmedian Mne 

 blacker, near termen, exceedingly slender, deeply — though not acutely — den- 

 tate, the outward teeth {on the veins) sUghtly thickened, the inward (in the 

 cellules) partly marked with black dots, especially those before R' and before 

 R', which are deeper than the others ; cell-dot small, inconspicuous, brownish ; 

 terminal line very fine, brovraish, marked with shghtly elongate (or subtri- 

 angular) dots between the veins ; fringe with minute dark dots opposite the 



veins. Himhving with termen crenulate, slightly toothed at R' ; lines of 



forewing continued, the antemedian near the base, the median little beyond 

 middle of wing ; cell-spot rather large, black, white-pupilled. 



Forewing beneath sUghtly smoky in proximal part., first line wanting ; 

 ceU-spot grey, larger and more conspicuous than above ; markings beyond it 

 nearly as above. Hindwing beneath paler ; first fine wanting, median weak, 

 the rest nearly as above. 



Pozuzo, Huanuco, E. Peru. Type in coll. L. B. Prout. 



18. Semaeopus rubida orbistigma subsp. nov. 



S, 34-38 mm. Larger than r. rubida Warr. (Nov. ZoOL. iv. 439), from 

 Venezuela, strongly marked. 



Forewing with the cell-mark enlarged into a round or broad-oval black 

 ring, whitish grey in centre ; postmedian Une rather more bent, on both wings 

 more strongly thickened at hindmargin. 



Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, E. Peru (E. Boettger). Type and others 

 in coll. Tring Museum ; paratyjje in coll. L. B. Prout. Also from Cushi, prov.

19. Semaeopus vestita spec. nov. 



(J ?, 30-32 mm. Face dull reddish, somewhat mixed with grey. Palpus 

 dull reddish, beneath pale ochreous ; third joint minute, darkened. Crown 

 mostly yellow- whitish, narrowly red between antennae. Antennal joints in 

 (3 scarcely projecting ; ciliation scarcely longer than diameter of shaft. Thorax 

 and abdomen reddish above, more ochreous beneath. Hindleg in S similarly 

 clothed to that of caecaria Hb. ( = punctata Stoll, nom. praeocc). 



Forewing with SC- arising from stalk of 8C"-' ; vinaceous cinnamon, shghtly 

 shaded over in parts with oUve-grey ; Unes grey, not very sharp ; antemedian 

 from just beyond one-fourth costa, rather oblique outward, curved in cell, then 

 mainly vertical, but somewhat sinuous, to one-third hindmargin ; median well 

 beyond cell, bent outward at R' ( — M'), rather strongly inbent in submedian 

 area ; postmedian from about three-fourths costa, dentate outward on the 

 veins (the extremities of the teeth slightly thickened), incurved between M' 

 and iSM^ somewhat approaching termen at SM* ; cell-dot small, white, with 

 sHght grey circumscription ; termen with dark reddish dashes between the 

 veins and minute pale dots at vein-ends ; fringe wth a very fine pale line at 



base. Hiruliving similar, with first line wanting, cell-dot rather more distinctly 



dark -edged. 



Forewing beneath pale reddish, at costal margin brighter and more ochreous,
