base of shoulders iinrjilish black like the costal streak ; patagia, thorax, and rest of 

 shoulders brick-red ; abdomeu grej-, tiuged with red along dorsum ; antennae black ; 

 legs grey. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



Several examples from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Pern (Ockenden). 1 

 have previonsly passed this species as a form of abdomixaria Guen., but it is a 

 distinct species, characterised at once by the black costa. 



SUBKAMILY ASOOTINAE. 

 •Jl. Bronchelia consimilis spec. nov. 



Of the same size and colour as B. puellaria Guen., but the whole surface 

 thickly studded with leaden-grey and fuscous granular dots ; the lines more 

 distinctly marked, especially towards costa, the inner and outer with black dashes 

 on veins ; the brownish olive shade between outer and submarginal line, as in 

 puellaria, and distinctly extended to margin between veins 4 and 6 ; cell-spot 

 black. In the hindwing there are live dull olive-brownish lines or bands, one 

 antemedian passing over the black cell-spot, a postmediau dentate lunulate line 

 marked with black points on veins, followed by a broader shade, and two sub- 

 marginal bands enclosing the usual pale submarginal line. 



Underside cream-white, in the forewing speckled and dusted with grey, the 

 costa striated with black, the cell-sjiot black ; a black submarginal band, thick 

 to vein 4 and extended to margin between veins 4 and 0, constricted below 4 and 

 ending in a blotch at vein 2 ; in hindwing this band is narrow, dentate externally on 

 veins, from costa to vein 4, then fading off. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen whitish, mixed with olive-grey. 



Expanse of wings : 74 mm. 



1 ? from Jalapa, Mexico. 



The white is creamy, not bluish, as in puellaria. 



•52. Bronchelia plumbilinea spec. nov. 



Very much like B. scolopaiea Drury i^from the West Indian Islands, but the 

 upper surface of the wings is altogether without the erect hairs so characteristic of 

 that species ; the lunulate submarginal line is composed of pale lustrous scales, the 

 Innules filled in vpith blackish, except that between veins 3 and 4, of which the 

 scales are leaden-grey. 



The ochraceons underside has a diffuse bkn'k submarginal cloud in both wings 

 broader in the hindwing ; the forewing is thickly and coarsely S2)eckled with 

 blackish, and has all the lines blackish, the double submarginal line being connected 

 with the submarginal fascia by a blackish blotch ; the liindwing by comparison is 

 without speckling or lines. 



Expanse of wings : 86 mm. 



1 cJ, Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, OUOU ft., January 1903, wet 

 season (Ockenden). 



I have seen examples from several localities in S. America which have hitherto 

 been passed over as scolo/juiea.
