193. Sjmecta duplicata sp. nov. 



Forewings : greyish white, the lines darker grey, thicker at costa ; first at one- 

 fifth, curved and waved, geminate ; median before middle, strongly projecting in cell 

 before the linear black cell-spot, and incurved below the median vein to inner margin 

 near first line ; outer line at two-thirds, geminate, denticulate, outcurved above 

 middle, strongly incurved below, touching base of cell-spot, to near middle of inner 

 margin ; .submarginal line pale, waved, between two grey shades formed of confluent 

 lunules, the inner between the veins, the outer upon them ; large black marginal 

 spots between the veins. 



Ilimltvings : without first line ; the cell-spot large and immediately preceding 

 the inner arm of the postmedian line ; fringe of both wings whitish. 



Underside uniform dull grey, darker towards hindmargin ; cell-spots dark. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen pale grey.

One ? from San Jose, Costa Rica (Underwood). 



The two species which I have already described in this genus (Nov. Zool. IV. 

 p. 473), cumifascia and giiseola, were represented by c^c? only ; in the present case 

 the type is a ? , having moderately pectinated antennae and the fovea of forewings 

 almost as strongly developed as in the dd. 



The absence of yellow colouring on the body will distinguish it from 6'. cunei- 

 /ascia, to which it otherwise bears considerable resemblance. 



Subfamily FIDONIINAE. 



194. Fidonia marginata sp. nov. 



? Forewings : deep yellow, with a marginal border whose inner edge is curved 

 from three-fourths of costa to anal angle, thickly dusted with fine olive-fuscous 

 striae ; fringe iron-grey. 



Iliiul wings ; with a narrower border from apex to anal angle, of uniform width 

 throughout, but narrowed to a point at anal angle, much darker than in the forewings, 

 che yellow being all but obliterated ; fringe as in forewings. 



c? with only the inner edge of the border indicated in the forewings, the apex 

 of both wings with a few grey scales. 



Underside deeper yellow ; the marginal borders dark olive-fuscous, and com- 

 plete in both wings and in both sexes. Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs all yellow : 

 forelegs tinged with fuscous ; antennae dark grey. 



Expanse of wings ; S 26 mm. ; ? 28 mm.
