54. Epirrhoe limitata spec. nov. 



'Forewing : olive-ochreous tinged with brown, this ground-colour, however, only 

 showing in the cross-lines, especially the broad outer line, and an oblique apical 

 streak ; the rest of the wing dark olive-fnscons ; basal patch small, crossed by three 

 black lines followed by a jiale one ; a pale band before central fascia with a dark 

 line down it; this band ontcurved above and incurved basewards below the median; 

 central fascia with three dark thick wavy lines on both edges, meeting in middle and 

 leaving paler spaces on costa and inner margin ; outer edge slightly protuberant 

 below middle, but without teeth or lunules ; cell-s])ot black ; band following 

 fascia broad, outwardly dentate-lunnlate, traversed by a dark line, the space inside 

 it white, outside pale brownish ; submarginal line lunulate, brownish flesh-colour, 

 preceded in its lower course and followed throughout by dark suffusion ; a broad 

 pale brownish streak oblique from apex to outer line at vein 4, the shading above 

 it towards costa dark; pairs of black marginal dots'; fringe dark in basal half, 

 chequered dark and light in apical half. 



Hindwing: whitish, smoky grey at base, with small black cell-spot and pairs 

 of marginal spots below vein 5 ; some dark shading and indications of two lines 

 at anal angle; fringe whitish, darker towards anal angle. 



Underside of forewing dark grey with the broad outer and macular submarginal 

 line pale ; hindwing pale ochrcous, dusted with grey, with dark cell-spot and four 

 lunulate-dentate lines, the last submarginal, double and filled up with grey. 



Paljii externally dark fuscous ; face and vertex brownish ; thorax mixed brown 

 and fuscous ; abdomen cinereous, with blackish dorsum. 



Expanse of wings : 39 mm. 



2 (?(? from Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, Peru, 6000—10,000 ft. (Bottger). 



The forewiugs are much like those of //. subguttaria H. S., but smaller; the 

 white hindwings distinguish it at once. 



55. Erebochlora ruficostaria ab. semifumata nov. 



This form is intermediate between typical ruficostaria Warr. and its ab. 



pernigrata. The forewing remains the same ; the hindwing, instead of being 

 white, with the concise black border of the type, is greenish white, with a broad 

 black border, of which the inner edge is diffuse, and runs up iu the form of 

 blackish striae along the veins and costal and inner margins. 



On the underside the cream-coloured patches are tinged with greenish.

Among the insects lately received from Santo Domingo, S.E. Peru, captured 

 by Ockenden, I have seen a pair in which the S agrees with my type of E. engelkei, 

 while the ? is exactly like that of .1. isolata Kaye, and I have no doubt that they 

 represent the sexes of one and the same species. The S i are larger than the 

 ? ?, 35—37 mm. as compared with 30 mm. The fulvous markings of the forewing 

 seem confined to the S, iu which sex the black tints of the lines are also more 

 prominent, especially the shading on each side of the submarginal line ; in the
