Underside the same : marginal area of forewings distinctly darker except at 

 apex. Head and shonlders j-ellow ; thorax and abdomen concolorons with wings. 

 Expanse of wings: 44 mm. 

 One 6, one ¥ from Paramba, June 1897, dry season, 3500 ft. (Rosenberg). 



171. Nipteria (?) satellites sp. nov. 



Foretvinf/s : smoky blackish ; a triangnlar dull white blotch lying between 

 median and submedian veins, rightangled above the anal angle, with a ronnded 

 projection in middle of wing from median to snbcostal ; the veins dark across it ; 

 traces of a paler su])marginal line from before apex to end of vein 2, forming 

 two slight pale patches before costa, and a white spot between veins 3 and 4 ; 

 fringe dark. 



Hindiriiu/s : dark smoky grey, with the central space paler ; the veins dark. 



Underside of forewings like tipper, bnt the dark markings brown grey ; an 

 apical white spot. Hindwings with smoky brown curved central band followed by 

 a whitish one ; traces of a pale snbmarginal line ; a whitish marginal spot between 

 veins 3 and 4. Head, thorax, and abdomen dull grey ; palpi bright yellow. 



Expanse of wings: 3.5 mm. 



One S from between Cachabi and Paramba, February 1897 (Rosenberg). 



Veins 0, 7, 8, 9 stalked; 10 and 11 stalked, 11 anastomosing at a point with 12; 

 cell two-fifths of wing. 



172. Nipteria satyrata sp. nov. 



Forewings : dull smoky grey-brown, darker along costa and hindmargin, which 

 are dappled with irregnlarly blotched transverse striae; a smoky dark cell-spot ; an 

 indistinct obliqne line from middle of inner margin to fonr-fifths of costa where it 

 ends in a dark blotch, the lower part being marked only by vein-dots ; fringe dull 

 grey, mottled with dark at the vein ends. 



Hindwings : with a broad curved central band showing through from the under- 

 side, beyond whicli a paler space intervenes before the dark hindmargin. 



Underside much clearer ; the oblique line of forewings black below costa, 

 followed by a pale whitish blotch between veins 4 and 6 ; the space below the 

 median vein dull and blurred ; hindwings with the broad central band and hind- 

 margin blackish. Head, thorax, and abdomen smoky brown-grey. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm. 



One ? from La Ualata, Merida, 1897 (Bricefio). 



Neuration as in N. incoloraria Gnen. ; but a curious anomaly occurs in the 

 forewings, where vein 5 is connected by a bar with 0. 



173. Nipteria sericea. 

 Deilinia sericea Warr., Nov. Zool. IV. p. 462. 



I have seen another pair of this insect, and find that it sliould be transferred to 

 the American Genus Nipteria ; the foveal bar, which is present, though not con- 

 spicuous, had escaped my notice. In one ? the upper radial is stalked with 7, 8, 

 9, 10 ; in the SS and the second ¥ it rises from the upper angle of cell.
