47. Isclinopteris projectata spec. nov. 



Forewing : deep purplish, striated with (hirker, in the disc with some green 

 scales intermixed ; the inner and outer hands green, in the latter case sometimes 

 mixed with whitish scales ; the inner baud from quite near base of costa to one- 

 third of inner margin, angled outward on subraedian fold ; the outer band broad and 

 diffuse from middle of costa to two-thirds of inner margin ; the purple area between 

 the green shades crossed at middle by a twice outcnrved darker median line, the 

 purjile tint beyond it being deeper ; the edge of tlie central space is vertical to cell, 

 then strongly i)rojccting below vein 4 and obliijue inwards ; the cell-spot, of raised 

 dark scales, stands on the outer edge of the green shade ; submarginal line inter- 

 rnpted in middle, greenish or greenish white at costa and above inner margin ; 

 the pnrplisli marginal area slightly tinged with green beyond ceil : marginal spots 

 dark ; fringe purplish. 



Himlu-infj : dark purplish fuscous, paler along costal area, with traces of dark 

 curved postmedian and submarginal lines. 



Underside ochreous overlaid with blackish grey, with dark median and outer 

 lines and broad submarginal band ; tbe apical region, the costa, and two post- 

 median blotches, one in cell, the other on submedian interval, ]ialer ; hindwing 

 ochreous speckled with black, with postmedian and submarginal black shades. 



Head and ])alpi purplish and fnscons ; thorax green ; abdomen cinereous ; legs 

 reddish testaceous, coarsely black-mottled. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm. 



5 c?(? from Santo Domingo, Carabaj-a, S. E. Peru, 6000 ft., December 1902, 

 wet season (Ockenden). 



This species is much like pexatata Moeschl. from Surinam, for which at first I 

 mistook it ; but the points of difference seem too great. All the examples yet seen 

 are i S ; all the examples of i-iridifascia are ? ? ; and though the outer green 

 band is quite different in position, form, and width, in the two forms, it is possible 

 they may be sexes of one species. The S agrees with pexatata in having the 

 fringe of inner margin of hindwing very full, and in addition a ridge of hair scales 

 along the outer half of vein 1 . 



48. Oenoptila? subconiiisa spec. nov. 



Forewing : bright orange, speckled with vinous ; the inner and hindmargins 

 broadly sufl'used with dull vinous; a vinous spot at middle of base; first line at 

 one-third, vertical, consisting of three vinous spots on the veins ending in a blotch 

 on inner margin ; median shade vinous, from just beyond middle of costa, oblique 

 and straight outwards to vein 4, then bent and vertical to two-thirds of inner 

 margin ; outer line from two-thirds of costa, parallel to median, consisting of 

 vinous spots on the veins, those towards inner margin marked with black dashes 

 outwardly tijiped with white ; an indistinct snlimargiual vinous shade ; fringe 

 vinous like the suffusion, which leaves the extreme apex orange ; cell-spot black 

 and large. 



IlinJicimj : wholly diffused with vinous ; all the lines, except first line, marked 

 but more or less obscured; no cell-spot. 



Underside dull ochraceous, irregularly blotched and speckled with dull vinous, 

 darkest along the hindmargins ; cell-s^wt of forewing blackish.
