131. Rhopalodes variegata sp. nov. 



Foretvings : whitish ; the transverse lines olive-green, slightly dusted in parts 

 with pale brick-red scales ; basal patch pale brick-red, narrow ; central fascia 

 suffused with scales of the same colour, sometimes from costa to inner margin, 

 sometimes chiefly on costal half ; the inner and outer edge of central fascia and the 

 cell-spot blackish ; all the lines much as in R. patrata Snell. 



Hindwings : dull whitish, with a slight rusty tinge. 



Underside of both wings pale, without markings ; forewings with a sordid 

 pink tinge ; the costa with black marks at the beginning of the cross lines ; no 

 dark postmedian and marginal grey bands. Head, thorax, and abdomen pale 

 ochreous, tinged with pale reddish ; anal segment of abdomen with a distinct 

 blackish spot, basal segment obscurely darker; no dark dots on the two first 

 segments ; palpi black externally. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



Five (? (? from Castro, Parana (E. D. Jones). 



Subfamily EUCESTIINAE. 



132. Lissopsis dukinfieldi sp. nov. 



Foretvings: uniform fulvous orange; the fringe grey; a pale oblique streak 

 from apex showing through from beneath ; costa at base tinged with grey. 



Ilindumigs : the same, with the streaks below faintly showing. 



Underside of forewings like upperside, but the costa narrowly and apical area 

 broadly olive-brown, the latter with an oblique cream-white streak from apex to 

 vein .5 ; fringe brown ; hindwings brown with cream-white, yellow-edged streaks 

 and blotches ; an elongated blotch on costa from base, its lower edge curved, a 

 tooth-shaped mark beyond middle of costa, and a fine curved line to apex ; a streak 

 from near base of cell, where it is swollen, running into hindmargin, throwing off 

 an arm at two-thirds to anal angle ; and a streak from base along snbmedian 

 fold ; fringe brown, except along the costal apical white curve, where it also 

 is white. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen dull mouse-colour ; face with white cheeks ; basal 

 joint of antennae, legs, and pectus interspersed with whitish scales. 



Expanse of wings : 37 mm. 



One cJ from Castro, Parana, March 1898 (E. Dnkinfield Jones). 



Subfamily HYDRIOMENINAE. 

 Genus Brephoscotosia Warr., Nov. Zool. II. p. 114. 



In the description of the neuration of this genus, made without denuding the 

 wings, an error occurs. In the forewings, vein II rises well before the middle of 

 cell below the costal shoulder, 10 from before end of cell ; 10 anastomoses, as usual, 

 with 11 and again with 8, 9 ; 7, 8, 9 are stalked from end of cell ; first median at 

 two-thirds, second at eleven-twelfths. In the hindwings the first median rises at 

 three-fourths, second at seven-eighths ; 6, 7 are short-stalked ; and the costal 

 anastomoses with eubcostal to near end of cell.
