at one-fifth, slightly ontcnrved above and below median vein, its inner edge 

 with darker vein-points ; lonter line at fonr-fifths, Innnlate-dentate, outcurved in 

 middle, the teeth only slightly deeper on veins, followed, in the c? only, by 

 yellow nnspeckled blotches : snbmarginal line hardly marked, except by some 

 obscure macular clouds preceding it ; median shade thick and diffuse, indistinctly 

 dentate, from just beyond middle of costa to beyond middle of inner margin 

 almost vertical; cell-spot white, smaller in the ? than in the 6; red marginal 

 spots between the veins and smaller ones bej'ond them in the yellow friiiue. 



Ilindidng : similar, without basal line ; the cell-spot in the t? large and 

 conspicuous. 



Underside with the ground-colour and all markings dull. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; palpi and face below, vertex and 

 antennae yellow without red speckling. 



Expanse of wings : t? 30 mm. ; ¥ 32 mm. 



2 c?c?, 3 ? ? from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, 0000 ft., February- 

 April, 1902 (Ockeuden). 



Smaller and duller than aiirantiata Warr., with which and subaencscens 

 Warr. it agrees in the vertical direction of the median shade of forewings ; the 

 difference in size of the cell-spots in the two sexes is characteristic. 



Deinopygia gen. nov. 



S . Forewing : triangular ; costa straight, curved before apes, which is acute ; 

 hindmargin as long as ianer margin, obliquely curved ; anal angle rounded oif. 



IJindwing : with inner margin very long, the anal angle produced and 

 lobed ; hindmargin rounded from apex to vein 6, thence to anal angle excised. 

 The submediau interval beneath with convergent fringes of long hairs, one along 

 the inner margin (in addition to the usual abdominal fringe) directed upwards, and 

 another along median vein and vein 3 directed downwards ; the costa also fringed. 



Antennae of c? ciliated ; palpi slightly upcurved, third segment minute ; 

 hind legs aborted, the tibia attenuated and bare, the tarsus with a flap of rough 

 hairs ; abdomen with lateral tufts beneath at the base of the anal segment ; 

 the anal sheath enormously elongated, almost as long as the rest of abdomen. 



Neuratlon as in Pti/c/w/>0(/a ; 6 and 7 of hindwing on a long stalk. 



Type : Deinopygia caudata spec. nov. 



41. Deinopygia caudata spec. nov. 



Forewing : pale ochreous, tinged and dusted with brown ; costa with two 

 brown spots at one-third and nearly two-thirds, indicating origin of linos, which 

 are difficult to trace ; a large black cell-spot ; the outer line is followed by a 

 more or less interrupted brown band, forming a patch beyond cell and on sub- 

 median fold ; submarginal line wavy, pale, preceded in upper half of wing by 

 a brown cloud which is produced into apex,; fringe ochreous, with large black 

 spots at the base. 



Hindwing : with the brown band less interrupted, running from about 

 middle of costa to three-fourths of inner margin, passing inside the large black 

 cell-spot ; fringe spotted as in forewing. 



Underside with the black cell-spots and fringe-dots conspicuous : the sub- 

 marginal line of forewing distinct ; hindwing with very few dark speckles ; the 

 two fringes of hair ochreous like the wing.
