precedes it being marked by dull blotches between the veins ; a row of small dark 

 marginal dots ; fringe concolorons. 



Ilindwings : like forewings. 



Underside glossv, whitish ; the forewings towards costa slightly flushed ; cell- 

 spots and onter lines indistinctly expressed. Head, thorax, and abdomen all grey ; 

 the abdomen tinged with reddish on back ; palpi and forelegs rosy above ; face 

 rather darker at top. 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



A pair from Petropolis, Brazil. 



A rather dull and inconspicuous-looking insect. 



74. Anisodes tenera sp. uov. 



Forewings : pale fawn-colour, with delicate darker strignlae ; the inner and 

 outer lines marked by vein-dots only, at one-fifth and fonr-fifths respectively ; cell- 

 spot distinct, blackish, with a minute white speck in centre ; central shade dark 

 fawn, irregularly dentate externally, the space between it and basal line filled in 

 with the same colour ; a marginal row of dark spots, but no submarginal line ; 

 fringe concolorous. 



Himhcings : exactly the same. 



Underside much paler, almost whitish ; costal region of forewings tinged with 

 rufous ; the cell-spots large and dark, elongated. Head, thorax, and abdomen all 

 concolorous. 



Expanse of wings : 2(3 mm. 



One tS from Corcovado, Rio Janeiro. 



The dark suffusion between inner and median line is fainter towards inner 

 margin of forewings and costal margin of hindwings. 



75. Anisodes urcearia ab. diflPusa nov. 



In Guenee's type form the transverse lines are fine, and the vein-dots by which 

 they are marked decidedly darker than the lines themselves ; Guenee, indeed, calls 

 them black, but they are really a very deep red. In the form before me the whole 

 surface of both wings is much more densely dusted with red scales than in the usual 

 paler examples ; the cross lines are much thicker and more ditiuse, and, instead of 

 the darker vein-dots, the edges of the lines are merely marked with deeper red ; and 

 similarly the dark blotches below the costa, opposite the cell, and above the anal 

 angle, which precede the pale submarginal line, as well as the marginal spots, are 

 in this case deep rosy. The underside of both wings is proportionally more deejily 

 suffused with red. 



One ? from Rio Demerara, British Guiana, of the same size as those of the 

 type-form from the same and other localities. 



Genus ANTEOIS nom. nov. 



At page 308 of his Verzeichniss, Hilbuer placed four species under J-Jois, 

 viz., auroraria, ostrina, russcaria, and politariu ; of these the first, second, and 

 fourth had been previously figured by him under the head of Gcometm, while the 

 third had not only been figured but described by him in the Zutrage (p. 27. n. 78 

 [1818]) as Eois russearia. It follows, I think, that russearia is the type of Eois ;
