A pair from Holiviu, takon between R. Sonjro and H. Snapi, March to Jnne 

 1896 ((Jarlepp). 



Related to E. ochodontaiia Snell., but without the dark luiiule on hindmargin 

 of forewiugs, and not blackisli beneath; distinguished by the pale lines and veins. 



12. Falcinodes (?) rufula s]i. n<iv. 



Foiiuciui/s : reiklish fawu-culour, slightly metallic in certain lights ; the lines 

 indistinct ; fir.st from one-fourth of costa, strongly cnrved ontwards in cell, then 

 o1ilii|ue inwards : outer line from two-thirds of costa, oblicpie to middle of inner 

 margin, and closely approximated there to first line, the included sj)ace, which is 

 fnnnel-shaped, marked with dull leaden-grey striae ; before the first line there 

 ajijH'ars to be a basal line of the same form, within which the basal area is similarly 

 marked with leaden-grey striae ; submargiual line indistinct, sinuous, marked by a 

 black dot on each side of vein 4 ; the veins towards margin paler, with tine dark 

 striae on them; fringe reddish brown. 



Ilimlwings : with a slightly darker central and submarginal fascia. 



Underside less red, darker, much striated with fnscous, the forewings escejit 

 along costa suffused with fnscous. Face and palj)i dull red-brown ; antenuai; and 

 thorax like wings; abdomen wanting. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One ? from ten miles above Mapiri, Bolivia, 2000 feet, 1893 (Stuart). 



The ? specimen above described agrees well with Guenee's diagnosis of the 

 genus, which, however, he himself admits to be deficient; the legs and abdomen are 

 wanting. 



i:i. Gathyuia orbifera sp. nov. 



Forewings : dark purplish grey, slightly tinged with rnfons, especially towards 

 anal angle and in the cell ; very faint traces of a darker cnrved median line ; outer 

 line at thret'-lburtiis, dark brown, rnfous-edged, (Mirved outwards to vein 0, then 

 straight and nearly parallel to hindmargin t<i vein 4, incurved to vein 2 and vertical 

 to inner margin ; a similar brown line close to hindmargin ; fringe concolorous. 



Ilimlwings: dull rufous, with the base, a curved central line, and the fringe 

 deejier rufous.

 Face, thorax, and abdomen dark grey; vertex snow-white. 



Expanse of wings : 21 mm. 



One ? from Iquitos, 1S9:5 (Stuart). 



The hindwings are nearly round ; in the forewings the cell area is very broad, 

 the median being ranch nearer than usual to the inner margin. 



Hyperplema gen. nov. 



/■'ivrwin;/.^ : elongate; costa nearly straight, rounded towards apex, whieli is 

 lilmit ; liiiidinargin obliipicly curved, entire. 



//iitf/wi)i(/s : narrow, with inner angle and hindmnrgin rounded: inner margin 

 shortened by the excavation of anal angle. 



Antennae of S bipectinated ; jialpi long, porrect, the second joint roughly
