liimilfs, anil followed by a ferrugiuons sliadi', whii-h is inarkoil with lilack iM^yond 

 the cell ; inargiual spots black : fringe ciiucolorons. 



Ilindivings : with ferruginous antemedian, tlonbli^ ferrngininis jjostmedian, and 

 black-spotted submarginal lines, tlie first two disfinct only on inner margin; 

 cell-s])ot black. 



Underside greyish ochreons, freckled with fnscons ; the C(dl-spots large, black ; 

 a blackish snbmarginal fascia, which becomes very broad towards costa of forewing. 

 Head, thorax, and al)domen concolorons with wings. 



The above represents the nsnal ? form. The iS are often snfFused with dull 

 rnfoiis brown, especially towards hindmargiu, with the markings more or less 

 obliterated, except the black spots on inner margin beyond outer line and the dark 

 marks beyond the cell. In one form, which may be named ab. fasciata, the space 

 between the two arms of the basal line and that between the outer and snbmarginal 

 lines is filled np with dark black-brown, all the rest of the wing remaining rufous 

 brown without markings ; in the hindwings only the outer fascia is thus dark, and 

 not so broad as in forewings. The sj)ecies appears common in Jamaica. The hind- 

 margin is crenulato in both sexes ; in the ? the apex is shortly acute, and the 

 hindmargin elbowed slightly at vein 4. 



Expanse of wings : ?, 40 mm. ; ^, 4(1—44 mm. 

 Numerous examples from Jamaica. 



151. Exelis quadripuncta sp. no v. 



Foretcings: greyish fuscous, paler than the generally dark <J 6 oi Exelis pyrolaria 

 Gnen. from N. America, with which it agrees in size and in the disposition of the 

 markings ; the lines, however, are more distinct and continuous. The chief 

 difference is furnished by the hindwings, which have the discal spot almost as large 

 as in the forewings, which spot is hardly marked in }>>irol(iriu.

152. Hymenomima extersaria sp. nov. 

 Forewings : whitish grey, suffused with purplish grey and dusted with coarse 

 black scales, and along the inner margin and snbmarginal line tinged with 

 ochraceons ; costa blackish, with a few fine pale strigao ; the lines black ; first from 

 costa at one-fifth, strongly bent in cell, to inner margin near base ; second before 

 middle, angled below costa, oblique and diffuse inwards to inner margin at one-third, 

 passing outside the black cell-spot ; outer line at two-thirds, parallel to hindmargin, 

 and forming a sinus on submedian fold : submarginal line pale, dentate, with dark 

 markings ou each side, those beyond tinged with ochraceons : nnirginal spots 

 black; fringe grey; marginal area from above vein 4 to below vein 3 forming a 

 subquadrate whitish patch. 



Hindwings: whiter, without the purplish grey suffusion : a black basal blotch; 

 a black autemediau lino and black linear coll-s]iot ; iiostniedian line black, sinuate, 

 and subdentate, followed by an ochraceons shade ; the whitish submarginal line 

 preceded by a strongly dentate black line and followed by an ochraceons lunulate 

 shade ; marginal black spots elongate ; the submarginal line is more broadly white 

 between veins 2 and 4, but there is no pale blotch. 



Underside dirty ochreons grev ; the middle and outer lines marked on both
