lis. Pherotesia alterata spec. nov. 



In appearance like PL iii<tliiain:i ,Scliaus, but paler; all the lines farther from 

 hindmargin. TLe hiudwing is not dark, but pale oclireous, with olive dusting and 

 three distinct lines : an obscure median, a double postmediau, and a thirl; macular 

 submavginal, only the last reaching costa, which basewards is ciuite pale. 



Expanse of wings : 48 mm. 



1 S from Cananche, Cundinamarca, Colombia, July l'.i"3 (de Mathan). 



Distinguished at once from malinaria by the veins 4 and 5 of hiudwing being 

 stalked together ; but the swelling is present on vein 2, as in that species. 



In Fit. subjecta, described below, veins 4 and 5 are separate and the swelling 

 on vein 2 absent ; in Ph. condensaria Guen. veins 4 and 5 are stalked, but there 

 is no swelling on vein 2. 



119. Pherotesia flavicincta spec. nov.

 dark dots and striae ; costa with coarse spots and blotches of fuscous ; lines pale, 

 lunular, preceded aud followed by blotches of olive-fuscous ; the inner vertical at 

 one-third, the outer at two-thirds ; close to the base there appears to be a similar 

 short basal line ; the submarginal line is preceded by a series of larger blackish 

 blotches, and followed by a series of dark anvil-shaped marginal marks between 

 the veins ; all these lines are broken up by the yellow veins ; cell-spot large and 

 dark : fringe yellow, mottled with fuscous.
