159. Spargania rufifimbria spec. nov. 



In markings this species agrees exactly with S. approhata Warr. from 

 Bolivia, but the coloration and disposition of the tints is quite different. The 

 central fascia of forewing is filled up with dark olive-green, the black edging 

 and traversing lines sprinkled with yellow scales; the band on each side 

 of it is whitish, with green and yellow dusting ; the three black lines beyond 

 middle, which in approbata are strongly marked, are here faint and blurred, and 

 between the second and third is a distinct waved bluish white submarginal 

 line ; the fringe is dull coppery, mottled with dark green. The hindwing is 

 uniformly copper-coloured without any trace of postmedian lino ; the base and 

 inner margin slightly greenish ; fringe coppery, whitish-tipped towards apex. 

 On the under side of forewing between the postmedian and apical pale blutches 

 is a single broad black fascia reaching to below middle, instead of the two 

 black costal marks of approbata. The face is cream-coloured. 



Expanse of wings : 39 mm. 



1 ? from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, 600U ft., December 1901,
