NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXV. 1918. 85 



20. Semaeopus redundata sp. nov. 



<J, 26-29 mm. Very similar to himacula Warr. (Novitates Zoologicae, iv. 

 438, as Haemalea) except in the ground-colour, wliich is browner (much less 

 tawny or tawny-ochraceous). 



Forewing with postmedian line more strongly sinuous, on an average rather 



farther from termen ; median shade thick. Hindwing with cell-dot more 



strongly developed above and beneath ; the angulated antemedian line con- 

 spicuous (often obsolescent in himacula) ; a well-developed pale-centred blotch 

 at anal angle. 



Underside generally more strongly marked than in himacula. 



Carabaya, S.E. Peru : La Oroya, 3,100 ft., type and others ; Rio Huaca- 

 mayo, 3,100 ft, ; Tinguii, 3,400 ft. All in coll. Tring Museum, collected by 

 G. Ockenden. 



The S genitalia have been kindly examined by Rev. C. R. N. Burrows and 

 shown to differ considerably from those of himacula. The latter has large costal 

 arm (which is absent in redundata) . the lower edge of the valve smooth (sharply 

 jagged in redundata). In himacula there is a very distinct " juxta," which is not 

 discoverable in redundata. The gnathos is better developed in redundata, and 

 the saccus and the sternal anal edge of the eighth segment differ appreciably. 

 In redundata tlie fore part of the penis is nearly twice as long as in himacula. 



21. Semaeopus discors sp. nov. 



S, 22-23 mm. Face deep red at edges, in middle mixed with olive-yellow. 

 Palpus rather stout, with thii-d joint quite short ; deep red. Vertex and 

 antennal shaft whitish ochreous : joints of antenna scarcely projecting, ciliation 

 moderate. Thorax above greenish olive, abdomen more buff ; both beneath 

 tinged with red. Hindtarsus with first joint very strongly swollen and heavily 

 clothed. 



Forewing with apex moderately produced, termen smooth, curved ; greenish 

 olive, costal edge narrowly orange-ochraceous ; lines more yellowish olive ; 

 antemedian fine and indistmct, wavy, about midway between base and cell- 

 spot, not reachmg costa ; median thicker, rarely reaching costa, gently curved 

 well beyond the cell-spot, rather strongly incurved behind ; postmedian rather 

 fine, rather sharply lunulate-dentate, very slightly incurved between the radials 

 and again posteriorly ; cell-dot large, round, black ; termen with minute, indistinct 

 whitish dots at the veins, preceded by a very fine, very indistinct line of 

 darker green than the ground-colour ; fringe reddish grey proximally, paler 



distally. Hindwing with apex square, termen smooth, gently rounded, 



tomus pronounced ; costal margin pinkish ; antemedian line wanting ; post- 

 median more sinuous than on forewing ; cell-mark white, slender, elongate ; 

 termen and fringe as on forewing. 



Both wings beneath vinaceous, with cell-mark of forewing and median and 

 postmedian luies faintly expressed, rather more rufous ; cell-mark of hindwing 

 whitish. 



Bogota, Colombia, type in coll. Tring Museum ; other examples from 

 British Guiana and the Amazons. 



Evidently near pallida Warr. (Novitates Zoologicae, ii. 94, as Dichromato-
