( 195 ) 



crennlate and blackish ; closely preceded by a less distinct but parallel median line ; 

 submargiual line waved, followed by an ochreous grey shading ; marginal spots 

 dark ; cell-spot indistinct. 



Hindicings : without first line. 



Underside of both wings smoky brown. Head, thorax, and abdomen like 

 wings ; palpi externally and a bar towards top of face brown. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One (S from Paramba, Ecuador, January to May 1897. 



Distinguished by the uniform brown underside. 



183. Cymatophora apicalis sp. nov. 



Forewings : smooth olive-grey, slightly speckled with darker ; first line at one- 

 fourth, bent below costa, then oblique inward ; median shade vertical, thick and 

 diffuse, olive-fuscous, at two-fifths ; outer line from two-thirds of costa, also fuscous 

 olive and diffuse at costa and inner margin, where it joins the median shade ; cell- 

 spot black ; submarginal line very indistinct, marked by slight dark lunules, and 

 more visible beyond cell, where it crosses the beginning of a large triangular olive- 

 fuscous blotch lying on the margin below apex ; a row of black marginal spots ; 

 fringe concolorous with wings, but olive-fuscous bej'ond the triangular blotch. 



Hindwings : paler, with two straight olive-fuscous lines, antemedian and post- 

 median, diverging and becoming obsolete, towards costa, and plainer on inner margin 

 where they are slightly geminated ; submarginal line obscure except at anal angle ; 

 cell-spot and marginal spots as in forewings. 



Underside greyish ochreous, darker in forewings, speckled with fuscous, the 

 markings of upperside partially reproduced. Thorax and abdomen like hiudwings ; 

 head and shoulders concolorous with forewings. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



Three S S from Castro, Parana, February 1897 (E. D. Jones). 



The description is taken from a fresh, well-marked specimen ; in many cases 

 the markings are much less distinct, and the ground-colour browner. 



184. Cymatophora (?) commaculata sp. nov. 



Forewings : dingy ochreous whitish, the costa yellower ; the lines bronzy grey, 

 macular and interrupted ; three in the basal field, curved and starting from large 

 costal blotches ; two postmedian, consisting of coarsely marked lunules distinct only 

 in lower half of wing, and ending at and just beyond middle of inner margin ; two 

 more submargiual ; the last four all confused and lost in a dull bronzy grey blotch 

 occupying the apex ; a row of blackish spots on margin between the veins ; a black 

 cell-spot ; fringe ochreous and grey. 



Jlindtcings : similar ; all the lines curved, those near base broken up into spots. 



Underside similar, but the markings still more confused ; a broad diffuse 

 submarginal band, the apex of forewings, and a spot below middle remaining paler. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen ochreous mixed with grey. 



Expanse of wings ; 30 mm. 



One ? from Paramba, Ecuador, January to May 1897. 



Distinguished from other species by the blotched character of the markings. 

 It is referred to Cymatophora provisionally.
