l.iii. Ira capnodiata iili. reducta imv. 



RatluT tiuiiiller iu {loiiit of si/.f, butli wings deeijer bruwii than in typiciil 

 capnodiata Gneu., with a darker median shade ; the white apical blotch only about 

 half as large, only just reaching below vein 7 ; the two dark blotches on inner 

 margin at the end of the lines entirely absent. 



Expanse of wings : 48 mm. 



'i S S from Chanchamayo, Peru (Schuuke). 



These came with several others of the type form ; it is probably merely 

 a local aberration, as I do Jidt reniembiT to have seen exam])les fnim other 

 lucalities. 



151. Ira crenulata spec. nov. 



Forewing : olive-browu ; the space between the inner and outer lines, except 

 along costa and on inner margin, fuscous brown ; first line cnrved and marked by 

 white point.s on veins, from one-fourth of costa to one-third of inner margin ; 

 outer line lunulate-dentate, obliipie inwards from the costal blotch to the sub-median 

 fold, then running outwards, marked by white points on tiie veins ; cell-spot 

 small, black, in a grey ring ; costal streak olive-brown, costal edge in basal half 

 dotted with white ; costal blotch before apex ronghly semicircular, brownish 

 ochreous with small brown clouds externally and there whitish-edged ; from the 

 outside of it a slightly marked darker dentate submarginal line descends to before 

 anal angle ; fringe brown. 



Ilindwing : olive-browu, darker before postmedian line at two-thirds. 



Underside grey-brown speckled with dark, the outer line thick ; marginal 

 area in both wings rufous brown ; costa of forewing with a white spot before apex. 



Head and thorax olive-browu ; abdomen and legs greyer brown, the legs 

 mottled dark. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm.

Distinguished by the crenulate hindmargin of both wings ; the forewing 

 slightly projecting beyond cell, the liindwiug with a small blunt tooth at vein 4. 



152. Isochromodes denotata. 



Ixuchroiiioiles auxiliaiis ib. i/iiioliila'WaTT., Xuf. Zn,tl.x\. p. 147 J (1904). 

 AVhen describing this species I had :} c?c? of the type form and a single ?, 

 which was then treated, doubtfully, as an aberration. Another example of the 

 latter, a c?, has at last arrived, and there is not much doubt that c/mofafo must 

 be considered as a distinct species, not an aberration. 



c?. Fori'iciui/ : greyish ochreous (not wood-brown as in auxilia)is J) dusted with 

 darker ; the costa with grey striae and brownish at base ; first line from nearly 

 one-third of costa to beyond one-third of inner margin, bent outwards in cell and 

 again on submedian vein, vertical or concave outwards between, finely black, 

 accompanied by brown scales outwardly, and ])receded by a grey line ; outer line 

 from five-sixths of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, shortly obliijuc outwards, 

 angled on vein 7 and below 4, concave between, concisely black, followed by a grey 

 shade ; median line greenish mixed with brown, and with blackish scales towards 

 inner margin, oblique outwards to 0, then vertical to 4, thence wavy and slightly
