( 139 ) 



the median and approaching first line on inner margin ; both linos with the costal 

 and inner marginal spots blurred violet, the intermediate dashes each concisely- 

 tipped with white ; cell-spot large and blurred, with a deeper violet centre ; costa 

 at base violet ; a very fine violet marginal line ; fringe white with faint violet dots 

 beyond veins. 



Hindtvings : without first line. 



Underside pale green, slightly yellowish tinged ; costa and cell-spot of fore- 

 wings dull violet. Face and palpi white beneath, brown above ; vertex white ; 

 thorax and abdomen green, abdomen with snow-white dorsal spots. 



Expanse of wings : i 24 mm. ; ? 30 mm. 



Two Jc? 1 ? from Palma Sola, Venezuela. Also 1 cJ from Paramba, Ecuador. 



55. Racheospila remota sp. nov. 



Of the same size and shape as R. dcntilinea Warr., but the fringe yellowish 

 green, without red basal line or brown flecks ; the exterior white line forther from 

 the hindmargin, straighter and scarcely crenulate, not denticulate, the inner line 

 also white ; no trace of olive shading ; the cell-spots of both wings black. 



One 6 from Azahar de Carthago, Costa Rica, 5000 to 6000 ft. (Underwood). 



56. Racheospila rufiguttata sp. nov. 



Foreivings : yellowish green, the costa finely white, tinged at base with red- 

 brown ; the two lines marked by rather large brownish red sjwts, those on costa, 

 subcostal vein, and vein 7 forming a small blotch ; cell-spot large, brown-red ; 

 marginal line finely red, interrupted at the vein-ends ; fringe yellowish white. 



Hindwings : without first line of spots. 



Underside whitish green, with a yellowish tinge. Face brown, mixed with 

 white scales in middle ; palpi whitish, brown above, the terminal joint brown ; 

 vertex and thorax worn ; abdomen ochreous, green-tinged towards base, with three 

 white, red-edged blotches on dorsum. 



Expanse of wings : 37 mm. 



One ¥ from Merida, Venezuela (Briceno). 



Distinguished from albociliaria H. S. by the wholly pale fringes, not intersected 

 with red ; larger and coarser than alboseriata Warr., the cell in both wings 

 decidedly shorter. 



57. Racheospila sigillaria Gueu. ab.(?) intensa nov. 



Like typical sigillaria, but the vinous-purple line which in-ecedes the marginal 

 white festoon swollen into a purple shade, which at anal angle of both wings and 

 towards apex of hindwings becomes a blotch ; the purple streak below the white 

 costal edge also broader ; the abdomen much more broadly and deeply red, this 

 colour also embracing the whole of the metathorax, which is usually grocn. 



The example described was sent along with a cJ of the ordinary form from 

 Palma Sola, Venezuela, 1896, and is probably only an aberration. As a rule the ? 

 does not differ from the cJ. 



Neuration: as in R. isolata, but the upper radial is stalked with 10, 7, 8, 9.
