147. Porona fidoniata spec. nov. 



Fomcing : whitish straw-colonr, with a few scattered fuscous striae ; the 

 costal edge fuscous, and with a few striae ; a dark mark just before middle 

 indicating origin of median fascia, which is represented onl}' by a curved sliade at 

 inner margin ; another costal mark at two-thirds ; whole outer margin ]nirplish 

 fiiscons, limited by a nearly straight line from four-fifths of costa to before anal 

 angle ; a submarginal line of slight pale dots on veins ; pale marginal dots at the 

 ends ; fringe fuscous ; eell-sjiot grey. 



Hiivhring : with marginal area only half as wide ; a broad grey antemedian 

 shade ; a small cell-spot ; the end of a postniediau grey band on inner margin. 



Underside similar, but the inner bauds absent ; cell-spots larger and 

 conspicuous ; forewing grey-tinged towards base. 



Head and antennae fuscous ; thorax and abdomen like wings ; dorsum tinged 

 with fuscons. 



Expanse of wings : 20 mm. 



1 ? from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, Gi.ioo ft., March 19U2, wet 

 season (Ockenden). 



Tlie species agrees well with Porona Schaus, except that vein lU is absent, 

 coincident with 11, which anastomoses with 12. 



Psodopsis gen. nov. 



Foreicing : costa slightly curved ; apex prominent, blunt ; hiudmargiu 

 obliquely curved. 



Ilindwiny : with well-rounded hindmargin, conspicuously insinuate beyond cell. 



Antennae ((?) lamellate, subserrate ; palpi short, slender ; tongue and 

 frenulum present ; hindtibiae with four spurs. 



Neuration : forewing, cell longer than half of wing ; discocellular vertical ; 

 first median nervule at three-fourths, second at eleven-twelfths ; radials normal ; 

 7, 8, 9 stalked, lU, 11 stalked, 10 anastomosing with S, 9 : hindwing, costal and 

 subcostal anastomosing to about half of cell ; 3 and 7 from before angles of cell ; 

 no radial. 



Type : Psodopsis incommoda spec. nov. 



148. Psodopsis incommoda spec. nov. 



Forewing : dull sooty blackish, with black cell-spot, and traces only of dark 

 lines. 



Hindwing : similar ; fringe concolorous. 



Underside dull cinereous ; forewing with indistinct broad darker marginal 

 border ; hindwing with dark antemedian and postmedian lines, and cell-spot 

 between. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; abdomen below paler grey. 



Expanse of wings : 19 mm. 



1 c? from t'hulnmani, Bolivia, 2O00 m., December 1901, beginning of wet 

 season (Simons). 



Although considerably smaller and more indistinctly marked, this species 

 will very probably prove the c? of a ? described by me as Fidonia tristata 

 {Nov. Zool. viii. p. 479) from Pallasco, Peru. Both are insignificant in appear- 

 ance, and I have only seen one specimen of each.
