 third segment snbspatnlate, as long as second ; no tongue or i'renuluiD visible ; legs 

 long and slender ; hindtibae with terminal spurs only. 



Neiiration : forewing, cell half as long as wing: discooellular vertical above, 

 oliliqne below; first median ncrvulo at two-thirds, second at eight-ninths, the 

 median nervnle thence inflected; lower radial above middle of discocellular ; 

 njijier from ujijier end of cell ; 7, ll>, 0, S, long-stalked from end of cell ; 11 

 anastomosing with 12 ; hindwing, costal anastomosing strongly with subcostal 

 throughout the middle half of cell ; ('>, 7 on very long stalk ; first median at 

 three-fourths, second at eleven-twelfths. 



Type : Paraplodes aurata spec. nov. 



The genus agrees with AploJca and Si/ncldoni in the anastomosis of tlie 

 costal and subcostal of hindwings, but differs in ncnration and the sjiurs of 

 the hindtibiae. 



The type species is without markings of any kind. 



5:?. Paraplodes aurata spec. nov. 



Forciriiiii : yellowish green, without any markings, fringe coucolonms. 

 lliiKhciiKj : the same. 

 Underside similar. 



Face, palpi, verte.x, thora.x, and alidomen concolnrous ; fillet and base of 

 antennae snow-white. 



Expanse of wings : 10 mm.

Fiirewiiiii : pale green ; the markings dull brown-red ; costal streak broad, 

 with lower edge diffuse, costal edge from near base to before apex snow-white ; 

 cell-spot large, oval, joined to the costal streak ; a slight projection before it 

 and a tooth at three-fourths indicate the commencement of two faint dentate 

 cross-lines, slightly paler than the ground colour and edged narrowly with 

 deeper ; marginal border formed of contiguous lunules with well-detined edge, 

 that at anal angle swollen into a blotch; fringe rufous, darker beyond veins. 



Hindwing : with large cell-spot and marginal border swollen snbapically; 

 the two transverse lines distinct, the inner margin marked diffusedly with red 

 lictween them. 



Underside pale green, with all red markings less defined ; base of fringe 

 greenish. 



Palpi externally and ujjjier half of face bright red, lower half of face green 

 (or green mixed witli red) ; vertex and antennae white ; collar red ; shoulders 

 and patagia green ; thorax and abdomen red, the latter with three white ilorsal 

 spots.

1 <?, 2 ? ? from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, (iiiiiii ft., November, 

 December liMJl, wet season (Ockentlen). 



Distinguished from leucoceniria Snell. by the absence of any yellow edging, 

 by the large cell-spots, and in p;irticid;ir by the absence of the hirge white 

 metathoraeic blotc^h.
