Forewings : with costa straight, becoming convex jnst before apex, which is 

 slight!)- prodnced ; liiudmargin obliijue and sintions. 



Jlindiciiigs : with apes acntely prodnced, hindmargin distinctly concave from 

 apex to vein 2, thence straight to anal angle ; inner margin short. Palpi short, 

 porrect ; antennae thick. 



Type : Stenocopsis albiapicata sp. nov. 



7. Stenocopsis albiapicata sp. nov. 



Forewings : ochreous bone-colour, slightly black-speckled, with the markings 

 dull fulvous : costal area and inner margin below snbmedian vein dull fulvous ; 

 a narrow baud at one-fourth, a second before middle, a broader oblique funnel- 

 shaped mark beyond middle, and a narrow sinuous submarginal band all fiilvons ; 

 a small oval white spot at apex with a minute black dot in the middle ; from the 

 outside of this spot a fine black line runs before the margin, the extreme hindmargin 

 being left pale ; marginal line itself blackish and thick, interrupted above anal 

 angle be3'0nd a paler blotch ; fringe ochreous, broadly chequered with black beyond 

 the vein ends, but wholly ochreous above anal angle. 



Ilindwings : partially suffused with dark grey ; with traces of three i)arallel 

 diffuse bands, one near base, of black scales, a sinuous brownish one in middle, and 

 a finer more obscure submarginal shade ; marginal line thick, black from apex to 

 vein 2 ; fringe as in forewings to vein 2, thence to anal angle wholly ochreous. 



Underside the same, the markings rather plainer. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 17 mm.

A c? from Ourem, near Para, dated February 2nd, 1894, evidently belongs to 

 this species, of which a fuller description than Guen^e's is here appended. 



Forewings : greenish ochreous, with numerous curved rufous strigae ; traces 

 of an inner line oblique from one-fourth of inner margin ; cell-spot formed of a few 

 white scales surrounded with rufous ; the oblique outer line aj)pears to be angled 

 below costa, the whole marginal sjiace beyond being darker rufous ; fringe rather 

 deeper. 



Hindwings : with a broad straight rnfous shade before middle, followed by a 

 series of irregularly crenulate and interrupted rufous lines ; the whole wing paler, 

 like the basal part of forewings. 



Underside of forewings deep reddish fulvous with darker striae, of hindwings 

 dull orange with lines of rufous striae. Face, ujjper surface of palpi, and vertex 

 dark brown ; thorax and abdomen like wings ; lateral edge of shoulders, underside 

 of i^alpi, and legs vermilion ; the forelegs externally dark fuscous. Antennae 

 (of cJ) subserrate and strongly ciliated. 



The ?, of which I have seen an example from British Guiana, is much larger 

 (.56 mm.) and redder, with the markings and cell-spots better defined.
