Forewings strongly toothed at veins 3 and 6 ; hindwings with the teeth hardlj' 

 marked ; the scaling above is smoother than usual iu the genus. 



218. Cartellodes ochrea sp. nov. 



Fofcwings : glossy ochreous, fiiintly speckled with blackish ; a pale browu line, 

 slightly sinuous, at three-fourths, angled on vein 6 and retracted to costa; cell-spot 

 brown ; fringe concolorous. 



Illmhciiigs : with the line straight, broader, at two-thirds. 



Underside similar, with traces of an inner line ou forewings, which probably 

 iu fresh specimens is visible ou the upper side. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 coucolorons. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One ? from Paramba, Ecuador, April 1897, dry season, 35UU ft. (Rosenberg). 



219. Certima sericea sp. nov. 



Forewings : silky whitish, with a slight primrose tinge ; the markings quite 

 pale brown ; a curved inner line, often obsolete, an oblique outer line, from 

 three-fourths of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, and a finer submarginal line, 

 which joins the outer line below middle ; a faint cell-spot. 



Hindwings : with the oblique line central ; the submarginal as iu forewings ; 

 no inner line ; the cell-spot obscure. 



Underside white ; the costa of forewings ochreous, with some ochreous speckles 

 beneath it ; submarginal line indicated by a brown costal spot, and dots on the veins 

 beneath it. Palpi dark fuscous ; antennae rnfons ; head, thorax, and abdomen like 

 wings. 



Expanse of wings : GO mm. 



Two (?(? from Bogota, December 1890 to March 1897 (Biirger). 



The hindmargin of both wings is slightly bent at vein 4 ; the shoulders and 

 patagia are elongated. 



Very near " Metrocampa sulphuraria " Mssu., of which it may prove to be 

 a form. 



Cnephora gen. nov. 



Forewings : with costa convex at base, slightly inflexed beyond middle ; apex 

 minutely produced ; hindmargin toothed at veins and 4, obliquely curved below. 



llindtvings : with hindmargin curved, the apex rounded, the anal angle sijuared. 



Palpi porrect, the second joint roughly scaled, the third blnnt and smooth. 

 Antennae lamellate, simple; tongue and frenulum present; hind-tibiae not thickened, 

 with 4 spurs. Forewings at base with a depression between median and submediau 

 veins. Patagia enlarged, reaching beyond the metathorax. 



Neuration : forewings, cell quite half as long as wing ; discocellular vertical ; 

 first median nervnle at three-fourths, second at five-sixths ; third from end of cell ; 

 radials normal ; 7, 8, 9 stalked ; vein 11 anastomosing for some distance with the 

 costal ; 10 anastomosing with 11 and again with b, 9. In the hindwings the first 

 subcostal and second median both rise just before end of cell. Wings without 

 markings. 



Type : Cnephora griseuta Mssu. {Azelina).
