386 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIV. 1917. 



in and out.iidc the cell boot-shaped, the feet j)ointing in opposite directions 

 (inward between cell-fold and M, outward between R' and R') ; a rather large 

 roundish spot between fSM' and base of M- ; postmedian and subterminal hnes 

 lunula te-dentate, their course nearly as in niobe but with the bends exaggerated, 

 the space between them somewhat pale ; distal area shaded ^^^th reddish gre}-, 

 especially between the radials and at tornus ; some small pale spots at termen 

 itself, well developed at apex ; terminal hne and fringe as in niobe. Hind- 

 wing without basal spots and first hne ; cell-patch recalhng that of physciata, 

 but more hke an animal's head, the neck (between M and SM°) narrower, the 

 anterior part (at SC) broken into short ears. 



Underside quite similar to that of physciata. 



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

 (G. R. Oekcnden). Type in coU. Tring Museum. 



24. Trygodes viridiplena spec. nov. 



<J ?, 42-47 mm. Face hght reddish bro\\n, with a variable admixture of 

 darker scales in middle. Palpus with second joint scarcely reaching beyond 

 face, third joint moderate, slightly longer in ? than in o ; reddish above, 

 ochreous-whitish beneath. Vertex mixed with pink, occiput with oUvaceous. 

 Antenna in 5 scarcely dentate, ^;^•ith cihation httle longer than diameter of shaft ; 

 in $ with ciliation over one-half diameter of shaft. Collar and front of thorax 

 mixed with ochrcous and strongl}' spotted with black ; thorax above otherwise 

 vinaceous pink with a shght purple tinge and with sparse and minute black dots ; 

 abdomen above more reddish ; both beneath more or less ochreous ; tufts of 

 coxae and hindtibia variegated, as in the alhes. 



Forewing with the terminal teeth rather strong ; fleshy whitish, along the 

 costal margin brighter pink ; some shght, irregular dark marks at base ; a large 

 green patch in end of cell (quadrate or even more extended longitudinally than 

 transversely), only narrowly separated by DC from a large quadripartite one 

 beyond (extending from SC to JM') and ])y M from a supplementary spot between 

 base of M' and Jl- ; a very large green patch on hindmargin, separated from the 

 last-named only by M=, its proximal part reaching nearly to base and entering 

 the cell, its distal boundary rather beyond middle of wing ; an olive-brownish 

 postmedian hne close beyond the green patches, formed about as in physciata 

 Feld. ; subtcrminal line farther from the termen than in any of the other species, 

 deeply lunulate-dentate and irregular, the inward curve between the radials 

 generally deep, always marked with black at the proximal extremities of these 

 lunules and generally of some of the others ; a broad (between SC* and SO* 

 narrowed), strongly dentate-edged band beyond this, the teeth on R' and R' 

 reaching the termen ; pale terminal area very shghtly dusted and with the 



veins brown ; terminal hne black, thickened between the veins. Hindwing 



with the green patches in and beyond the cell corresponding to those of the 

 forewing ; the hinder patch also large, but prolonged distally, its proximal edge 

 curving outward till it reaches .SM', along which it runs to near tornus, its distal 

 edge bending abruptly at M=, along which it runs for over 3 mm., again bending 

 abruptly to join the proximal (posterior) edge near tornus ; a fawn-coloured 

 shade between the green patches and costa ; outer part nearly as on forewing, 

 the fawn-coloured shade beyond subterminal hne narrower.
