in the narrowest part, the basal indentatii>a being' less j)roiiounce(l, anil the outer 

 edge nearly vertical or slightly bent on the median vein ; much less interrupted 

 l)y the ground colour towards costa; the marginal chestnut patch much larger ; 

 no bed of rough scales at the anal angle, but the space beyond central fascia 

 traversed throughout by a darker grey diffuse shade. 



Ilindwing : as in s/jimniiplar/a, but the two teeth more strongly marked, 

 the lower one, at vein 4, with a black dot at its base ; the tuft of hair on 

 inner margin concolorous grey, not yellow ; the fringe grey to vi-in 2, above it 

 chestnut. 



Underside dark grey, black-speckled, on the forewing tinged with reddish ; 

 the furrow of bindwing without abnormal scales, the cell with no basal fovea. 

 Head and palpi l)lack ; thorax and abdomen pale grey. 



Expanse of wings : 20 mm. *

20. Thysanocraspeda squamiplaga spec. nov. 



Fcireirinq : pale slaty grey, with a few blackish speckles ; the markings dark 

 chestnut ; central fascia broadest on costa, narrowest below the middle ; the inner 

 edge strongly incurved in middle, running from about cme-third of co.sta to one- 

 third of inner margin, the outer bluntly angled on veins 6 and 4, then concave ; 

 in the lower half of this fascia the chestnut is mixed with black, and in the 

 upper half more or less overrun by the grey of the ground colour ; a large rounded 

 chestnut patch on hiudmargin from vein G to 4, or below 4, with a small patch 

 above (J ; a small bed of rough, semi-erect, dark grey woolly hairs at anal angle ; 

 fringe chestnut. 



Ilindwing : with basal area and inner margin, as far as median vein and 

 vein 2, grey, the rest dark chestnut ; the central baud slightly darker and mixed 

 with blackish, edged outwardly by a somewhat paler line, bent outwards at middle ; 

 fringe dark chestnut from apex to vein 2, then yellowish ; tuft of the inner margin 

 bright, yellow. 



Underside dull grey, speckled with black ; the fringes reddish ; the furrow 

 between vein 1 and the submedian fold with a large oval patch of mealy, rust- 

 coloured scales, followed towards margin by rough mealy grey scales, which 

 also extend along the submedian fold itself. 



Head and palpi black ; thorax and abdomen grey. 



Expanse of wings : 25 mm. 



2 c?t? from Santo Domingo, Oarabaya, S.E. Peru, November and December 

 1901, wet season (Ockenden). 



Forewing bluntly angled at veins 4 and '7, with a shallow concavity between ; 

 hiudwing strongly toothed at vein 7, slightly at vein 4, the anal angle rounded ; 

 costa sinuous, the basal shoulder rough-haired ; the base of cell with a small 

 oval semihyaline spot. Antennae with close curved clavate teeth. The species 

 agrees in many points, especially in the yellow tuft of hiudwing, with E. ocho- 

 dontaria Snell. ; but as that writer makes no mention of the rough scales on 

 forewing above and hiudwing below, nor of the basal fovea, 1 am ol)liged to 

 consider it distinct.
