.Subfamily HYDRIOMENINAE. 

 14. Anapalta nivesecta spec. nov. 



Forciciiiy : greenish ocbreuus (probably pale greenish when fresh), crossed by 

 numerons olive-fuscous lines ; these are placed almost exactly as in A. subpulckrata 

 Warr. {Epirrho'i') from Bolivia (cf. Nok. Zool. vii. p. 17.5), from which the present 

 species differs in having the middle of the dark central fascia occupied by a white 

 blotch extending from costa to inner margin, or to vein 1, its edges rnnning 

 parallel to the lines of the outer band, and containing the black cell-spot ; the 

 submargiual line is swollen into a white spot between veins 3 and 4, and sometimes 

 also between 2 and 3. In all other respects the sjiecies are alike, but on the 

 underside nkesccta is more ochreous, with less green. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm. 



2 SS from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, G50U ft., December 1902, 

 wet season (Ockenden). 



This may very likely be an aberration (or a local form) of A. sabpalchrata ; 

 but as that is from Bolivia and the present form only from S.E. Peru, I have 

 preferred to describe it as distinct. Grunmta Feld., batis Warr., aud iiiveigutta 

 Schaus probably stand in a similar relation to embcrizata Guen. 



15. Hammaptera dispansa spec. nov. 



Forewiiiy : greyish olive-green, slightly speckled ; the Hues fuscous and 

 blackish ; basal patch narrow, limited by two or three dark lines forming a band ; 

 the pale band beyond traversed by two or three liues of dark scales ; inner band 

 of central fascia at one-third, formed of three dark lines filled in with darker olive, 

 the inner nearly straight, the outer angled outward, on median vein and running 

 out along inner margin as a black point ; outer band of three liues, the two inner 

 parallel to each other, angled slightly at vein 6 and more prominently at vein 4, 

 insinuate in submedian interval, the outermost line running widely outwards to 

 vein 4, tiien incurved ; submargiual line irregular and obscure, but preceded by a 

 brown blotch marked with three black lines on costa, by a smaller blotch beyond 

 cell, and a slight shade at anal angle ; marginal line of interrupted black dashes ; 

 fringe greenish, chequered with dark beyond veins. 



Hiiidwing : smoky fuscous ; the hindmargin and fringe paler, greenish. 



Underside dirty ochreous-greenish, with traces of a band of three obscure 

 'dark lines and a dusky marginal border, interrupted at middle. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen dull greenish mottled with fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm. 



1 ? from Onaca, Sta. Martha, 22U0 ft., September, October lUOl, wet season 

 (Engelke). 



Nearest to strenuaria Wlk. 



If). Hammaptera fumida spec. nov. 



Forewiiic) : pale grey, overlaid with darker olive-grey ; the liues dark grey ; 

 central fascia with the inner edge well curved aud slightly wavy, from oue-fourth 

 of costa to one-third of inner margin, the outer edge from beyond middle of costa
