Near to E. mi/iosa Dogn. ; iu his description of Cidaria Jiatolimbarioidcs 

 M. Dognin mentions one example differing from the rest of his siJecimcns in 

 having wholly dark hindwings with orange apex, which must be very near the 

 present species. 



110. Hammaptera aeruginata spec, no v. 



Forewing : whitish, suffused throughout with dull rust-colonr, tlie only pale 

 spaces being the slender edges of the subbasal band, the postniediau baud, and 

 the submarginal line. The markings are exactly as iu H. constricta AVarr. from 

 Argentina ; the lines of the central fascia alone are dark marked, and tliL-se chiefly 

 on the veins, but all the lines are marked by a black costal spot ; iu the shade 

 l)receding the submarginal line the lunules beyond cell are conspicuous, being filled 

 in with blackish ; the lines and shades of the ajiical quadrate patch (in this case of 

 the same tint as the rest of the wing) are continued through to inner margin ; in 

 constricta the anal space is clear white. 



Underside yellowish white, with the same markings as in constricta. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings, the segments of the last 

 with dark pale-edged rings. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



1 i from Chnlumani, Bolivia, 200U m., January lOol, wet season (Simons). 



This may be a local form of H. constricta, but it is very distinct in appearance. 



111. Hammaptera apicata spec. nov. 



Forewing : whitish, tinged with flesh-colour, especially along costa : the mark- 

 ings fuscous ; basal patch small, its edge vertical, with three blackish lines ; band 

 before central fascia broad, with an obscure grey-edged middle space ; central fascia 

 of nearly even width throughout, the outer edge angled on veins 6 and 4, insinuate 

 beyond cell and on submedian fold ; its edges consisting of three black lines each, 

 distinct above median vein, and containing a black cell-spot ; lower part of fascia 

 filled up with fuscous, which sometimes extends to costa also ; the pale band 

 beyond it traversed by a darker line, edged at costa by a dark oblique line, and 

 followed by two more, which are often fused together; the whole apical space 

 forming a sulKjnadrate dark patch to vein 4, through which the jtale waved sub- 

 marginal line and an oblique apical streak are visible ; marginal area below 4 with 

 the markings more or less obsolete, being traceable only iu very good examples : 

 pairs of marginal spots at vein-ends ; fringe flesh-coloured ochreous, varied with 

 dark grey. 



Ilindu-ing : flesh-coloured ochreous, slightly grey -tinged, with obscure traces 

 of grey marginal border and postmedian line and cell-spot; marginal spots as in 

 forewing ; fringe ochreous. 



Underside with a s(iuare black apical blotch on forewing, the apex itsell 

 remaining ochreous ; the outline of central fascia grey above the median vein ; 

 cell- spot plain. Hindwiug with narrow grey submarginal baud, indented grey 

 postmedian line, and dark cell-spot ; basal area to postmedian line tinged with grey. 



Face and vertex ochreous ; thorax and abdomen much suffnsed with fuscous ; 

 segments of abdomen with dark bands ; [lalpi ochreous with fuscous tips ; legs 

 ochreous, the fore- and midtarsi blackisli-spotted. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm.
