autemedian ; three postmediau, thicker and close together, form a slight baud, 

 preceded and followed by a yellower space ; the median space broader and traversed 

 by a fine red-browu thread passing through the black cell-spot ; the postmedian 

 space narrower, but also traversed by a thin line ; exterior line broadest, followed 

 by two submarginal and a marginal line, the last three close together ; fringe 

 yellow. 



lUndtrings : with two lines close to base, followed by a clear yellow band ; 

 all the other lines as in forewings ; the snbmarginal lines slightly curved, the 

 marginal bent. 



Underside duller ; the costal area dull reddish. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 yellow varied with red. 



Expanse of wings : 2(5 mm. 



One d from Chiriqui, Panama. 



The antennae are subserrate and ciliate. 



Subfamily HYDRIOMENINAE. 



Anthalma gen. nov. 



Forewings : costa swollen beyond base and slightly indented in middle : ape.x 

 bhintly rounded ; hindmargin curved ; inner margin convex. 



Ilindwings : with both angles and the hindmargin rounded. 



Palpi thick, porrect, squamous, the third joint hidden; antennae (?) thick, 

 lamellate ; tongue and frenulum present ; metathorax witli strong metallic tuft. 



jS'euration : forewings, cell only one-third of wing ; discocellnlar nearly vertical, 

 bent slightly at lower third ; first median at two-thirds, second and third stalked ; 

 lower radial from below the centre of discocellnlar, upjjcr slightly stalked with 

 7, 8, 9 ; lu and 11 close together at one-half of cell, 1<I anastomosing strongly with 

 11 and again with 8, 0: hindwings, cell nearly one-half of wing; discocellnlar 

 angnlated, but the middle limb very short, radial from the bend, slightly below 

 the middle ; G and 7 stalked ; vein 3 from before end of cell. 



Type : Ant/talma latifusciata sp. nov. 



67. Anthalma latifasciata sp. nov. 



Forein'/iffs : with the broad central fascia purplish fuscous ; the basal third, the 

 costal area beyond the fascia, the submarginal line, and the inner margin narrowly 

 dull chestnut ; basal patch small with dark waved edge, brown and fuscons ; central 

 fascia with inner edge, projecting somewhat basewards in the middle, at one-third ; 

 outer edge waved, from two-thirds of costa to three-quarters of inner margin, 

 oblique outwards to vein 6, then vertical to vein 4, and then incurved ; the inner 

 edge is closely followed by two dark waved lines, and the outer preceded, but at 

 more than tiie usnal distance, by two others ; the waved band beyond central fascia 

 is chestnnt-browu to vein 6, then dull green, with white dots beynndthe teeth of the 

 black outer edge of the fascia ; submarginal line with a jialer more conspicuous 

 ]iinkish bmwn lunnle lietween veins 3 and 4 and above the anal angle ; it is 

 ]ircc(ded and followed liy mixed shades of brown and fusccu.s, which form darker 

 stieiUs between the veins, especially above vein 6 ; a fine black marginal line ; 

 fringe dark olive fuscous, slightly mottled with paler.
