wings by a row of black dashes on the veins ; costa and apex of forewings blackish. 

 Face and palpi mottled fuscous and oehreous, the ])alpi exterQally blackish ; vertex 

 and thorax fuscous, with a few paler scales iu places ; abdomeu ochreons, with some 

 fuscous scales ; the basal segment black. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One J from Popayan, Colombia (Lehmann). 



The lower radial rises shortly before the top of discocellular, but the fovea is 

 scarcely more than ordinarily developed ; it will be advisable therefore to treat this 

 abnormal development of the fovea in the c? as of secondary importance, the 

 position of the lower radial, which is the same in both sexes, being of itself sufficient 

 to characterise the genus. 



153. Hymenomima minuta sp. no v. 



Forewinffs : dull ochreons, dusted with fuscous, the markings dull greyish 

 fuscous ; base of costa above the large fovea dark ; a broad diffuse autcmediau 

 fascia, forking towards costa ; a similar difl'use fascia beyond the middle, its outer 

 edge dentate, and marked with dark dashes, followed by a pale indistinct sub- 

 marginal line ; a darker blotch on hindmargin opposite the cell and above anal 

 angle ; a marginal row of large dark lunnles ; fringe dingy grey ; an indistinct dark 

 cell-spot. 



Hindwings : with dark cell-spot, and much dusted and blotched with grey, 

 crossed by three indistinct darker fasciae. 



Underside similar, the fasciae rather plainer. Head, thorax, and abdomen dull 

 cinereous. 



Expanse of wings : 16 mm. 



One cJ from Popayan, Colombia (Lehmann). 



The size of the fovea and length of pectinations of tlie antennae are out of all 

 proportion to the size of the insect, which bears a remarkable resemblance at first 

 sight to Hi/poscotis cinerea Butler from India. 



154. Hymenomima semialba sp. nov. 



Forewings : creamy white, iridescent, slightly dusted with very fine dark scales; 

 the lines purplish fuscous ; first at one-fourth, double, curved ; a short dark costal 

 spot before it; cell-spot large, oblong; second line at two-thirds, finely waved, 

 bent below costa, then straight to vein 4, beut inwards to vein 2, then again straight 

 to inner margin : marginal area beyond it deep i»urplish grey, dusted with shining 

 scales ; the veins rather ])aler ; a darker shade jnst beyond outer line ; submarginal 

 line paler, waved, preceded and followed by a darker shade; fringe purplish grey; 

 the costa, median and submedian veins marked with bright ferruginous along the 

 paler basal half of wing ; a whitish spot at apex and anal angle. 



Ilimlwingg : similar, but without discal spot, and with a diffuse median line, 

 most distinct on inner margin. 



Underside darker. Face and i)alpi purplish grey ; vertex and thorax 

 whitish ; metathorax and tips of patagia purplish grey ; abdcanen grey, varied with 

 femiginous. 



Expanse of wings : 26 mm.
