The paler ochreoiis portion of the forewings along costa and apex is probably 

 greenish when the insect is fresh. 



The species agrees in neuration and iu the fold of the hiudwiugs with the type- 

 species ignifera Th. Mg., but the liindmargin of the forewings is simply and evenly 

 curved and tlie apex not produced; the hind wings are not smaller in comparison 

 with the forewings, and the abdomen of the S is short and slightly crested; the 

 metathorax strongly tufted. 



123. Xanthorhoe picticolor sp. nov. 



Forewings: pale grey, tinged sometimes with green, at others with pinkish; 

 the markings dull red or blackish; these are exactly as in X./ernigotn of Europe, 

 but the pale bauds on either side of the central fascia are either pale green or 

 pinkish. 



Hindwiiigs: rufous fuscous or rufous grey, without markings except just on 

 inner margin ; the marginal line of black interrnpted dashes. 



Underside j)ale, with the apical area and costal end of onter line black; the 

 apex itself white. Head, thorax, and abdomen a mixture of green and reddish ; 

 the segments of abdomen blackish ; metatliorax with two bosses of metallic bla«k 

 scales; palpi beneath hairy, with long dark and light scales. 



Expanse of wings : 24 — 26 mm. 



Two S 6, one ? , from .Jamaica. 



Subfamily EUDULINAE. 



124. Eudule costata sp. nov. 



Very mucli like E. nipmria Wlk. — with whit-h it is probably often coufcninded 

 — but larger and paler, being more tliinly scaled ; the costal margin of forewings 

 finely dark; the antennae paler; in cupraria they are black. 



Expanse of wings : 26 — 32 mm. 



One S, two ? ?, from Sao Paulo ; also from Uio de Janeiro 



Eudulophasia gen. nov. 



Distinguished from Ewltih' Hiib. by the anomalous uenration of the hindwings. 

 The upper margin of the cell is very short, about one-eighth of the wing; the 

 discocellular after leaving the subcostal vein runs parallel or nearly so to the lower 

 subcostal nervule for three-fourths of wing, and is then ronndly bent to join the 

 median ; the two subcostals are short-stalked; the radial rises from the bend of the 

 discocellular ; the medians as in forewings, the first at about two-thirds, the second 

 at five-sixths. In the forewings the areole is much longer than iu E'lilide: vein 6 

 rises half-way up the areole, 7 from just before its end, S, 9, In only being stalked 

 from the end. 



Type : Knihdophami inran'a Wlk. (A/neriii). 



Subfamily HETEHUSIINAE. 



125. Heterusia albata sp. nov. 



Forewings: white ; base and costa for one-third black ; apical third black, its 

 inner edge irregular, running from just beyond middle of costa to inner margin 

 before anal angle, almost rectangularly bent above vein 2; fringe black.
