* Scea curvilimes sp. nov. ^J $, 38 mm. Coloration of semifulva Warr., of which it may 

 prove a race ; the yellow therefore slightly lighter than in cleonica, more heavily marked with dark 

 scales ; distinguished from all hitherto known species by the shape of the apical dark area, the 

 proximal margin of which leaves C about 8 mm. before apex, follows the sinuosity of DC to the 

 hinder angle of cell, and is then excurved, joining the dark posterior border at about 2 mm, from 

 termen. N. Peru, 1912 (A. E. and F. Pratt), the type (J labelled " W. Slopes of Andes, 4,000 ft., 

 June," the paratype $ Ayabaca Mountains. Both in coll. Joicey. 



■f iScea caesiopicta subcyanea subsp. nov. $. Apical part of forewing and whole of hindwing 

 strongly glossed with blue ; hindwing with abdominal region less markedly and less extensively 

 pale than in caesiopicta caesiopicta. Abdomen above brighter blue. Carabaya, S.E. Peru, 

 Oconeque to Aqualani, 6,000—9,000 ft., March 1905 (G. Ockenden). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



} Scea servula steinbachi subsp. nov. (J $, 38-42 mm. Smaller, rather more reddish orange, 

 intermediate towards the colour of auriflamma ; veins and folds darkened as in that species. 

 Tucuman {J. Steinbach). A series in coll. Tring Mus. The extreme form of DC, with R^ some- 

 times extremely near R^, associates this with servula servula. 



§ Scea erasa sp. nov. $. Close to servula Warr., agreeing in size. Rather brighter orange. 



Forewing with DC more normally formed ; SC and M not blackened ; black costal edge nar- 

 rowed. E. Peru : Pozuzo, 5,000-0,000 ft,, type and another, Piehis Road, 3,000 ft. (Watkins), all 

 in coll. Joicey ; Cushi, Prov. Huanuco, 1,900 m, (W, Hoffmanns), 3 in coll, Tring Mus. Colombia : 

 Canon de Tolima, 2,500 m,, November 1909 (A, H. Fassl), in coll, Tring Mus. A beautiful mimic 

 of Darna trigotuita Warr,, which occurs with it at Pozuzo and Cushi ; Druce even labelled our typ^ 

 *' Darna trigonata Warr., compared with type" (!),
