( 135 ) 



Antennae of S bipectinate, of ? simple ; palpi porrect, long ; second joint 

 squamose, third as long as second, smooth, spatulate ; tongue and frenulum present. 



Neuration : forewings, cell two-fifths of wing ; discocellular oblique below ; 

 first median at two-thirds, second at nine-tenths ; lower radial from upper two- 

 thirds, upper from top of discocellular ; 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, 11 free ; 10 rising close 

 to origin of8,;0. Hindwiugs with costal approximated to subcostal for a perceptible 

 distance ; 6 and 7 stalked. 



Type : Lissochlorajlavijimbria Warr. {Aplodes). 



Aplodes nortia of Drnce probably belongs here. 



44. Lissochlora incognita sp. uov. 



Forewings : apple-green ; costa white, tinged with red at base ; an outer curved 

 line at two-thirds, indicated merely by white dashes on the veins ; fringe yellowish, 

 the basal half deeper than the apical ; a pink spot at the apex of wing. 



Hindwings : with a minute dark cell-dot, and some reddish scales at base of 

 fringe. 



Underside more whitish green, the outer line appearing as a dark green shade ; 

 costa of forewings yellowish. Face pale ochreous, fillet and antennae white; vertex 

 and thorax green ; abdomeu ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One ? from the Felder collection, without locality, but almost certainly from 

 S. America. 



45. Microloxia dilucida sp. nov. 



Forewitigs : pale green, thinly scaled ; costal edge white ; two oblique white 

 lines, first from two-fifths of costa to one-third of inner margin, acutely angled on 

 the subcostal vein ; second from close before apex to four-fifths of inner margin ; 

 fringe white ; cell-sj)ot absent. 



Hindwings : with the two lines and fringe white. 



Underside pale green, the lines showing through ; forewings yellowish green 

 towards costa, the base of which is tinged with reddish. Face green above, whitish 

 below ; palpi pale, externally tinged with reddish ; fillet and antennae white ; vertex, 

 thorax, and basal half of abdomen green; terminal half of abdomen whitish. 



Expanse of wings : 17 mm. 



One (? from S. Paulo. 



As the five species of Microloxia from >S. America at present described bear 

 considerable superficial resemblance to each other, a tabular arrangement is here 

 given for their discrimination : — 



A. outer line of forewings curved : fringillata Schaus. 



B. both lines straight and parallel. 



a. face green : dilucida Warr. 



b. face reddish. 



a', forewing with red apical spot : apicata Warr. 

 b'. forewing without red apical spot : bistriata Warr. 



C. first line oblique outwards : moUissima Uogn.
