( 123 ) 



Expanse of wings : 1 3 mm. 



One ? from Newcastle, Jamaica, September 1893. 



Inner margin of forewings sinuate, convex in basal, concave in outer half ; 

 hindwings with a distinct tooth at vein 4, and slighter ones at G and 7. In 

 forewings vein 11 anastomoses with 12. 



13. Epiplema nifula sp. nov. 



Forewings : greyish brown or rnfous brown, irregularly speckled with darker ; 

 two diffnse dark brown lines, limiting a central fascia, which is deeper colonred 

 than the rest of the wing ; the first from one-third of costa to one-third of inner 

 margin, inbent on the median vein, the second from two-thirds of costa to middle 

 of inner margin, somewhat bent outwards on median vein ; traces of a snbmarginal 

 line, forming two dark brown spots beyond cell. 



Hindwings : with an indistinct dark brown central fascia, edged by darker lines. 



Underside rufous ochreous, without markings. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 concolorous with wings ; face and palpi brown-black. 



Expanse of wings : 26 mm. 



Two ? ¥ from Paramba, Ecuador, January to May 1897. 



Forewings falcate, the apex acute ; a blnntly rounded projection bej-ond vein 3, 

 below which the hiudmargin is straight and oblique, above it concave. Hindwings 

 with slight blunt tooth at vein 4, and a more acute one at vein 7. 



Neither of the two examples is in perfect condition ; there appears to be 

 a dark basal patch on the forewings, edged by a deep brown line. 



14. Leuconotha subfumida sp. nov. 



Forewings : smoky white, with the costa and all the veins brown ; fringe 

 whitish. 



Him/wings : the same, but the veins hardly marked ; costal area whiter. 



Underside similar ; the hindwings paler. 



Thorax and abdomen like wings ; face and vertex white ; collar yellow. 



Expanse of wings : 24 mm. 



One c? from Palma Sola, Venezuela. 



15. Psamathia subangulata sp. nov. 



Differs from P. placidaria Wlk., in having the hindmargin of forewings with 

 a very distinct angle at vein 4, and the apex acutely produced and shortly subfalcate, 

 instead of, as in typical Psamathia, having the margin straight from apex to 

 anal angle. 



Forewings : uniform pale lilac-grey, thickly rippled with brown-black, especially 

 towards the hindmargin ; a small coal-black sjjot at middle of base ; first line at 

 one-third, angled and with a dark brown spot a* the subcostal vein, then nearly 

 straight and very slender to inner margin at one-third ; second at two-thirds, 

 oblique and slightly sinuous outwards to vein 4, then strongly incurved and vertical 

 to inner margin beyond two-thirds, geminated in its lower half ; a dark blotch 

 towards hiudmargin between veins G and 7. 



Hindwings : with an acutely angled outer line, dark brown and double from 

 costa to the angle, slender and indistinct below ; a thick brown marginal shade from 

 apex to the tooth, which contains a large chocolate-brown spot.
