384 XOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIV. 1917. 



at hindmargin nearl3- to tornus whitish ; markings of upperside (except first 

 Hne) present, not strong. Hindwing beneath more yellowish, with costal edge 

 brigliter ochreous and distal area concoloroiis with underside of forewing ; cell- 

 dot and postmedian line indicated in grey. 



Venezuela : San Esteban, June 1909 (S. M. Klages) ; type S ; Cucuta, 

 paratype ? ; both in coll. Tring Museum. A worn o from Fonte Boa, Upper 

 Amazon, June 1910 (S. M. Klages) seems also to belong here. 



In some respects similar to Anisodes nudaria Guen. (Spec. Gen. Lip. ix. 

 417 ; Obcrtli., Et. Lip. xii. t. 396. f. 3361), under which name I gather it has 

 stood, with a query, in the Dognin collection. Few structural clues were given 

 for that species, but it would seem to be evidently a true Anisodes ; in no 

 Semaeopus could the 3 hindtibia possibly be described as " naked." The name 

 vestitn has been adopted, not because of anything exceptional (for this genus) 

 in the clothing, but in contradistinction to nudaria. 



20. Semaeopus vestita asymphora subsp. nov. 



(J ?, 33-34 mm. Face blackish. Wings less red than in v. vestita Prout 

 (supra), of an almost uniform fawn-colour, without the grey cloudings ; post- 

 median line and generally the median finer ; hindwing beneath nearly con- 

 colorous with forewing, median Une present. 



Tinguri, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, 3,400 ft., January 1905, wet season (G. R. 

 Ockenden), type in coll. Tring Museum ; August 1904, dry season, 2 ??. Huanca- 

 bamba, Cerro de Pasco (E. Boettger), La Oroya, Carabaya, December 1905 

 (G. R. Ockenden), also in coll. Tring Museum. Yahuarmayo, S. Peru, 1,200 ft., 

 April 1912, in coll. British Museum. 



Possibly a separate species — forewing slightly blunter at apex, etc. 



As ab. (?) punctulifera (spec. div. ?) I describe a rather puzzUng form 

 which is also distributed in Peru, with coloration intermec.iate towards that 

 of V. vestita, postmedian hne of both wings on the whole witli shallower lunules, 

 but these almost obsolete, hlack dots at the extremities of the teeth, on the other 

 hand, developed above and beneath. As the antennal shaft looks shghtly 

 thicker, the joints more projecting, the ciliation shghtly longer, I suspect this 

 may prove a separate species, but the differences are so intangible that it will 

 require further research to satisfy me I may not have been deceived. 



Yahuarmayo, S. Peru, 1,200 ft., April 1912, type in coll. L. B. Prout ; 

 Pozuzo, E. Peru, in coll. L. B. Prout ; Chaquimayo, S. Peru, in coll. British 

 Museum. 



21. Semaeopus tergilinea spec. nov. 



(J, 25 mm. Head and bodj' concolorous with wings, face more mixed with 

 rufous, palpus and collar with ochreous. Structure of the sigillata group 

 (Dichromatopodia \A'arr.) ; hindtibia with the inner tuft purple-red. Abdomen 

 with a fine, clear fawn-coloured mediodorsal hne, the rest of the dorsal surface 

 rather strong!}' irrorated. 



Forewing pale fawn-colour, with minute, rather inconspicuous greyer 

 irroration ; a narrow ceU-mark, covering the entire length of DC'"', and two 

 almost straight hues free from irroration, shghtly tinged with buff ; first line 

 from SC before one-third, obhque to hindmargin beyond two-fifths ; post-
