( 118 ) 



darker streak from middle of iuner margiu, bent and obsoletely forked ou vein 2, 

 and disajipearing at vein C, above which are two black-lirown dots, the npper close 

 to vein 8 the larger, and connected by a gre3'-brown streak with the apex ; costal 

 area broadly cream-colour for fonr-fifths from base, beyond which the streak 

 becomes narrower and cheqnered with pinkish ochreoas ; two submarginal curved 

 rows of brown spots ; fringe deeper pink. 



llinchvings : deeper ochreons, strongly speckled with brown, and with three 

 brown fasciae, distinct only on the inner half of wing, the innermost broadest and 

 partially double. 



Underside paler : the markings of the hindwings black-brown and reticulated ; 

 on the forewings confined to the base and inner margin as far as vein 2 only. Face 

 and vertex deep brown ; palpi and antennae black ; thorax and abdomen like wings, 

 the latter with brown segmental rings ; legs pale ochreons, underlined with black ; 

 the spurs black. 



Expanse of wings : 5G mm. 



One ¥ from Costa Kica. 



Allied to Aziha falcata Feld. (= serpula Guen.) ; distinguished by the much 

 paler, more flesh-coloured tint, less defined markings, and, in particular, by the 

 absence of the white discal spot of hindwings. The hiudmargin of forewings is 

 more olilique and less bulged. 



Pagenstecher {Iris v. p. 90) mentions an examjile most probably of this species, 

 also a ? , from Massanari on the Amazons, in the Staudiugcr Collection, which he 

 refers as a probable variety to folcata. 



3. Hypolampnis parisignata sj). nov. 



Extremely like S>/7npI)le})S ochracea Pag., from Java, N. Guinea, etc., but 

 rather paler and smaller ; the wings narrower ; instead of the white cell-spot, two 

 small black dots with a few black scales round them, on both wings above, whitish 

 surrounded with black scales below ; the small black marginal dots on both wings 

 absent : the costa of forewings slightly darker ; in all other respects the markings 

 agree. Though thus superficially resembling the species of S>/mp/ileps, in parisignata, 

 however, instead of veins 8, 9, 10 of the forewings being stalked together as in 

 Si/mphleps, only 8 and 9 are stalked, and 10 rises from the cell as in IL/polampnts. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One cJ one ? from Onoribo, (Surinam, Feb. and March 1803 (C. W. Ellacombe). 



4. Iza multifasciata sp. nov. 



Fo7-em'?iffS : creamy white, crossed throughout by numerous pale ochreons 

 fasciae, running obliquely, parallel to hiudmargin, all becoming darker and more 

 definite below the median vein, those beyond the middle between vein 4 and the 

 submedian fold shading into grey and forming an irregular triangular blotch ; costal 

 and submarginal areas ])aler than the rest of the wing ; marginal area more 

 ochraceous and with slight ferruginous speckles : fringe ochreons. 



lUndivings: with six more defined dark fasciae, leaving more distinct whitish 

 fasciae between them ; apex of both wings slenderly pale before fringes. 



Underside the same, the dark markings more mixed with grey. Head, ])alpi, 

 and shoulders brown ; thorax and abdomen mixed ochreons and white. 



E.xpanse of wings : 24 mm.
