6. Epiplema rostrifera s]iec. nov. 



Fomriiiq: wood-brown, tiufred and striated with darlv brown; lines black- 

 brown ; first, from one-fourth of costa, obliquely curved to median vein, then 

 vertical ; outer line at two-thirds, finely edged with pale, vertical to the median 

 vein, where it is outwardly toothed, then concave to three-fourths of inner margin; 

 a dark brown blotch before the marginal excision edged by a black bow-shaped 

 lino ; fringe brown, with a jialer basal line. 



Ilimlirituj : with basal area jialer, but marked witli darker below the median 

 vein, tlio course of which is denoted by ferruginous scales; first line acutely 

 bidentate ; second line, finely edged with pale, sinuous from costa to median 

 vein, where it forms a sharj) angle, then obliquely bowed to inner margin ; the 

 included space darker ; a large black sjiot with a ])ale dash above it on margin 

 between veins :H and 4, surrounded by ferruginous scales and preceded by a 

 patch of dark metallic scales ; fringe dark brown with a pale lustrous line at 

 base ; a largish black cell-s])ot. 



Underside paler, with dark speckles and suffusion. 



Face and palpi black-brown ; thorax and abdomen coucolorous with wings ; 

 antennae and anal tuft of S ochreous.

3 c?c?, 2 ? ?, from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, 6000 ft., November 

 and December 1901, wet season (Ockenden). 



In the forewing the apex is truncate ; the hindmargin from 7 to 6 is 

 vertical, then slightly excised to 4, and thence straight, but not very oblique to 

 anal angle ; in the hindwing the teeth at veins 4 and 7 are acute and prominent ; 

 there is also a tooth at apex, and a slight one at the end of vein 6. The ? is 

 somewhat paler than the S . 



7. Epiplema scabra si)ec. nov. 



ForeiriiKj : brick-red, overlaid with lilac-grey scales, and dusted with darker, 

 the ground colour thereby assuming a very mottled appearance ; between the 

 outer and snbmarginal lines, reaching from costa to median vein is a hoary 

 white space partly tinged with grey and with some dark grey speckling, and 

 two oblique dark grey costal streaks ; along the hindmargin a series of red 

 lunnles, edged by an indistinct snbmarginal line, the two before the excision 

 swelling out into a large bilobed blotch encroaching on the white .apical space ; 

 the two ordinary lines are reddish and obscure ; first from one-third of costa, 

 running outwards and bent in cell, then vertical and irregular to middle of 

 inner margin ; the outer at two-thirds is mainly vertical, but angled outward 

 on veins (i and 4, then concave ; marginal line grey ; fringe rufous, varied with 

 lilac-grey. 



Hindwiny : like forewing, with a broad central band, slightly darker red, 

 and edged outwardly by a paler line, bluntly rounded on vein 4 ; basal and 

 costal areas jialer ; a dark sjiot below lower tooth : veins towards hindmargin 

 jiale, with black speckles. 



Underside brick-red, coarsely black-sj)eckled and striated : the forewing with 

 all the three margins broadly grey and the fringe briglit rufous ; the hindwing 

 less broadly grey-edged,
