133. Calocalpe rosenbergi sp. cov. 



(J Foreicings : dark grey, witli the nsnal series of curved darker lines and 

 slightly paler interspaces forming alternate lighter anil darker dashes on the veins ; 

 basal patch and central fascia a little darker ; submarginal line waved, pale, 

 forming a more prominently whitish blotch above the snbmedian fold ; fringe 

 concolorons ; marginal line dark. 



Ilindwings : with no distinct markings except the pale snbmarginal line. 



Underside brownish grey, with the veins spotted ; cell-spot and marginal lines 

 of central fascia towards costa dark. Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorons. 



? with the space between basal patch and central fascia and the whole 

 marginal area paler grey, the basal patch and the central fascia itself, especially 

 the marginal bands, by contrast, much darker grey ; snbmarginal line not so white, 

 but edged externally with darker blotches ; the hindwings with the curved post- 

 median line and basal area darker. Underside pale grey, with basal two-thirds in 

 both wings deeper ; cell-spots in both wings black. 



Expanse of wings : S 52 mm. ; ? 54 mm. ' 



A pair from Ibarra, Ecuador, May 1897 (Rosenberg). 



Named after the collector. 



The species is considerably larger than either of Butler's Chilian species, 

 caiiguene?isis and exacta, with which it is most nearly allied. 



The S sliows slight traces of a vinous tint at the rise of veins 3 and 4. 



134. Camptog^ramma (?) foedata sp. nov. 



Foreicings : dull dark grey, the lines and markings darker ; the whole basal 

 two-thirds suffused with darker rendering the lines indistinct ; first line curved at 

 one-fifth; inner edge of central fascia curved parallel to it; outer edge at two-thirds, 

 darker and more distinct, being followed by a whitish line, incurved beyond cell, 

 then forming two blunt projecting teeth between veins 2 and 4 ; submarginal line 

 dentate, indicated by small wedge-shaped whitish-tipped black marks, connected by 

 blackish dashes with the hindmargin ; the whole wing crossed by indistinct dark 

 waved lines ; cell-spot black : snbmarginal line obscure ; fringe grey. 



Hindwings : similar ; hindmargin slightly incurved beyond cell. 



Underside pale cinereous, with the markings darker. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen dull grey. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One ? from Paramba, Ecuador, January to May 1897. 



This may be a Scotocoremia. 



Deinoptila gen. nov. 



c? Forewings : broad ; the costa abruptly shouldered at one-fourth, then 

 straight, only slightly curved before apex, which is acute ; hindmargin obliquely 

 curved ; inner margin decidedly convex. 



Hindwings : ample ; costa curved ; apical angle produced, obtusely rounded ; 

 hindmargin nearly straight, and faintly crenulate; inner margin with a very dense 

 erect fringe of hairs ; all the veins below the median clothed with layers of hair ; 

 the cell filled with mealy scales. 



Forewings on underside with a bed of hair along inner margin, and the 

 retinaculum with a large curled tuft.
