about one-third from base deeijly cleft, the submedian vein being etrongly bent 

 ujjwards above the cleft, each side of the cleft thickly clothed on the upper surface 

 with hairs. 



Ilindwinqs : with hindmargin and both angles rounded. 



Pali)i porrect, rostriform, decumbent ; antennae simple ; abdomen and legs 

 broken. 



Neuration: forewings, cell less than half the length of wing; discocellalar 

 augnlated ; first median at three-fourths, second close to third ; radials normal ; 

 7, 8, 9 stalked; 10 and 11 stalked; 10 anastomosing with 8, 9 ; hindwings with

Type : Tiichori-kages umbrosa sp. nov. 



156. Trichorrhages umbrosa sp. nov. 



Forewings : ochreous suffused with shades of brown and green, among which 

 can be discerned a darker basal jiatch, a broad central fascia, the outer edge of 

 which is lanulate, and a pale Innulate submarginal line, preceded and followed by 

 darker shades ; marginal spots black and round ; fringe blackish. 



Hindwings: pale slaty grey, darker along hiudmargin ; fringe blackish. 



Underside of forewings dull dark cinereous ; of hindwings paler ; cell-spots 

 dark. Head, palpi, and thorax olive-green and brown ; abdomen wanting. 



Expanse of wings : 38 mm. 



One t? from Popayan, Colombia (Lehmanu). 



The unique example is very much wasted, and an accurate description is 

 impossible. 



157. Xanthorhoe fragilis sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale greyish green, crossed by waved red-brown lines, which are 

 all thickened on costa, and densely dusted with red-brown striae ; three red-brown 

 lines in basal area, all angled on the subcostal vein, then vertically waved to inner 

 margin ; central fascia with its inner edge formed of one and its outer of three 

 similar lines, but the outer three are angulated on vein 4 as well as on vein 6, 

 incurved to vein 2, thence vertical to inner margin ; cell-spot small, blackish, close 

 beyond the inner edge of the fascia ; marginal area crossed by three waved brown 

 lines, all thickened and somewhat confluent at costa and between veins 3 and 4 ; 

 marginal line fine, blackish, swollen between the veins ; fringe red-brown, with the 

 base conspicuously paler. 



• Hindwings : whiter, tinged with greenish, with all the outer lines repeated, but 

 indistinct towards costa ; cell-spot small, blackish ; hiudmargin subdentate, the

Underside reddish grey, flecked with dark, and with all the chief lines darker ; 

 marginal spots much more distinct than above. Head, thorax, and abdomen dull 

 greenish grey, speckled with red-brown. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm. 



One 6 from Bogotd, Colombia (Child). 



A thinly scaled and rather fragile-looking species ; the veins flue ; palpi shortly 

 porrect ; the pectinations of the antennae in cj full ; discocellnlar of hindwings 

 oblique ; radial from the centre.
