lliiul icings: without eell-mavk; the marginal border starts from two-thirds of 

 costa and forms a sinns between veins 2 and 4, and another on submedian fold, 

 rnnuino- m inner margin for one-fourth; a brown-black sliade runs from apex to 

 ana] an<'le, strongly marked at apex; brown striae as in forewings; fringe brown. 



Underside vellow-green; costa of forewings tinged with reddish; a black-brown 

 marginal streak from anal angle towards apex; a black-browii apical spot on 

 hindwincs. Head, thorax, and abdomen greenish; abdomen with black-brown crests. 



Expanse of wings : 26 mm. 



One <S from Palma Sola, Venezuela, 1890 (Whyman) ; near to A. sarptaria 

 Moeschl., bnt that has yellow fringes. 



38. Auophylla invasata al). pernipta uov. 



Differs from the type form in the lower portion of the pale marginal border of 

 forewiug being much narrower, the green of the central area reaching to two-thirds 

 of inner margin and becoming confluent with the apical area, the pale streak from 

 the costa reaching only as far as the median vein. All else as in the type. 



Three ? ? from Palma Sola, Venezuela, where also the type form occurs. 



It may be noticed that this species does not agree with the type of the genus 

 in neuration, 6, 7, 8,0, 10, 11 being all stalked together, 11 anastomosing, some- 

 times more strongly than at others, with 12, and lU rising after 7; veins 3 and 4 

 are short-stalked in both wings. 



Dichorda gen. nov. 



Foreivings: broad; costa slightly curved; hindmargin curved, more obliquely 

 below. 



Hindwings : broad; hindmargin rounded; innermargin long; anal angle sijnare. 



Antennae of 6 with delicate pectinations to three-fourths: i)alpi porrect, rough- 

 haired, terminal joint short; frenuhun extremely fine. 



Neuration : forewings, cell less than half the length of wing; discocellular 

 concave, more oblique below; first median nervule at three-fourths, second shortly 

 before third; lower radial from above middle of discocellular, upper from the 

 deflexed end of cell; 7, lii, S, 0, stalked from close before end; 11 anastomosing with 

 12; hindwings, costal apjjroximated to subcostal near base only; G and 7 hardly 

 stalked; medians as in forewings. 



Type: Dichorda iridaria Guen. {Geometra). 



39. Dichorda allineata sp. nov. 



Forewings: greyish green, with two whitish lines, the first very fine and 

 indistinct, slightly waved, at one-third, the second, faintly curved, from apes to two- 

 thirds of inner margin; cell-spot small but distinct, black; fringe concolorons. 



Hindwings : with a straight white median line and black cell-spot. 



Underside mealy whitish green, with the cell-spots black. Thorax and abdomen 

 green; vertex white; antennae ochreous; face whitish green; palpi speckled with 

 fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm.
