70. Hainmaptei'a subguttaria ab. rufibasalis nov. 



Among thirteen specimens of this insect from Colombia (9 Jcf, 4 ? ?), a pair 

 differ from all tlie rest, which are typical, in having the basal area of forewings 

 as far as the inner edge of the central fascia in the upper half of wing, and as 

 far as the outer edge below vein 2, wholly dnll brick-red, with the nsiial waved 

 cross-lines all but obsolete and dark only along costa towards base. In all other 

 respects they agree with dark-marked examjiles of the type form. The variation 

 probably occnrs generally, bnt I have not observed it before. 



80. Pelurga cicatriculata. 



Lygris dcdtricnlala Berg, Bull. Mosc. xlix. ii. p. 223. 

 Pelurga strnminea Warr., Nov. Zool. IV. p. 454. 



I think there can be little donlit that tlic-se are the same species, though I can 

 see no trace, beneath the forewings of the i S, of the tuft of hair characteristic of 

 Lygris. Berg's description is extremely accurate, Init he does not seem to have 

 observed the peculiar structure of the forehead. 



81. Plemyriopsis variegata sp. nov. 



Foreicings : brownish flesh-colour, the markings generally dark brown or 

 purplish, with an admixture of reddish and greenish in places ; basal patch edged

 blackish brown ; below median strongly toothed and incurved, the tooth between 

 3 and 4 filled up with dull green intersecting the dark band, the lower parts of the 

 ground-colour with the two lines brownish ; centre of fascia with traces of an angled 

 and waved brownish line starting from a brown costal speck ; submarginal line 

 ])ale, at each vein marked by a snow-white dot, followed liy a sharp dark dash across 

 the olive-brown marginal area, preceded by a black-brown blotch at inner margin 

 and on costa ; the band following central fascia interrupted, pearl-grey and reddish 

 at costa, and of the pale ground-colour beyond cell ; a marginal line of interrupted
