214. Gynopteryx immaculata sp. uov. 



Forewinqs : j'ellow, speckled and striated with pale brownish ; the lines jiale 

 brown ; first at one-fourth, bent in the cell, then vertical ; outer line gentl}' curved 

 from costa before apex to two-thirds of inner margin ; hiudmargin from apex to 

 elbow slight!}' tinged with pale brownish : cell-spot dark brown. 



Hiiuhrings : with the line central ; fringes yellowish. 



Underside yellow, the outer line dark brown, on the forewings retracted to costa : 

 hindwings with an additional carved outer line, nearly touching central line on costa 

 and inner margin. Palpi, face, and antennae brown; thorax and abdomen yellow; 

 shoulders and base of costa of forewings deeper tinged. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One c? from San Domingo. 



21.J. Gynopteryx subcarnea. 

 Lissostolodes subcarnea AVarr., Nov. Zool. II. p. 144. 



The genus and species were described from a ? . The 3 is suiierficially very 

 diiferent from the ? , being pale ochreous, with the costa and cross lines deep olive. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm. 



The apex of forewings is not produced, and the hindmargin scarcely elbowed, 

 while in the hindwings the anal tooth in middle of hindmargin is obsolete. The 

 S antennae are bipectinate, the pectinations short and precise, ciliated throughont, 

 and with a fine curved bristle from each apex. 



The description of the neuration of forewings requires amendment : veins 7, 8, 

 0, are stalked from just before end of cell ; 10 and 11 ('oincident, anastomosing with 

 12, 10 afterwards anastomosing shortly with 8 and '.), forming a long narrow areole. 



The structure being precisely the same as that of Gynopteryx Gnen., the genus 

 Lissostolodes must sink. 



I have to thank Mr. Schaus for the opportunity of examining the cf, of which 

 sex he jiossesses a good series. 



216. Herbita (?) transversata sp. nov. 



Foretcinqs : dull reddish brown, slightly black-speckled ; a black cell-spot ; 

 a black oblique line from two-thirds of inner margin towards apex, before which it 

 is retracted to the costa ; fringe concolorous. 



Hindwings : with the dark line central ; cell-spot small. 



Underside paler and duller, with the dark speckling more distinct. Face, and 

 palpi dark brown ; thorax and abdomen pinkish grey. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm. 



One c? from Costa Rica (Underwood). 



Hesperomiza gen. imv. 



Fore/rings : with costa gradually carved ; apex blnutly rounded : hindmargin 

 slightly curved and oblique ; anal angle blunt; inner margin faintly convex. 



Hindwings : triangular ; both angles well developed, the apical more rounded 

 than the anal ; hindmargin nearly straight. 



Antennae of 6 bij)ectinated nearly to apex, the pectinations short and fine ; 

 forehead slightly produced below ; palju stout, jwrrect, the joints obscured ; tongue 

 present ; hindtibiac^ somewhat thickened, with four spurs.
