Apicia Guen. 

 In Xoc. Zoo/, i. p. 457 (1894) I jiroposed to ado])t the name Eiimrca Hiib. for the 

 species of Gnenee's genera Apicia aud Caherodeti; I do not now justify this step; 

 certainly not as a substitute for Apicia, which seems fairly separable from Caberodes. 



279. Apicia fractilineata. 



Eusarca fractilincutu Warr., Xor. Zm,!. ii. p. 141 (1895). 



The species was described from a cJ from Colombia. The ? I find differs 

 from the S as mnch as the sexes of ribicaria (.'ram. from each other The s]iecimeM 

 now described came from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, along with three 

 typical c?cJ, dated November 1901. Ground colour olive-green with a yellower 

 tinge than in the <Si, thickly covered with dark striations ; basal patch of fore- 

 wings, and a broad fuscia beyond outer line of both wings, dull brick-red, the outer 

 line marked on veins with white dashes ; beyond the submavginal line, which is 

 obscure, the marginal area becomes olive-green, like the fringe. 



Underside deep dull yellow, mixed in the forewing towards hindmargin with 

 orange fnlvous ; markings as in the S ■ The antennae have the joints angular, 

 laterally produced, on the inside into short spines, on the outside into pedicellate 

 fascicles of cilia. 



The shape of the wing agrees with the ? of ribicaria Cram. 



Expanse of wings : 42 mm. 



In many ])oints this ¥ satisfies the description of A. iiicopularia Guen., whicli 

 has been hitherto sunk as a synonym of juncturaria Guen.; should it eventually 

 prove to be identical, Gnenee's name would stand ; I mention it here for the purpose 

 of drawing attention to the resemblance. 



280. Apicia subfasciata ab. obscurata uov. 



Foretciiiy : clouded over with purplish grey flecked with hoary grey ; no trace 

 of the usual yellow ground colour visible except at extreme apex on costa, and 

 in the disc between the two lines ; the lines, the edge of the discal spot, and the 

 fringe deep olive-brown. 



llindwiny : with the yellow of the ground colour somewhat more visible, 

 especially along costal area; the fringe olive-i'ulvons ; fringe of inner margin yellow. 



Underside like typical mtbfuHciata Warr., but very bright yellow ; tlie inner 

 margin of forewing shining satiny white. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen purplish grey, the shoulders and jiatagia densely 

 and finely dusted with hoary grey ; dorsal segments of abdomen darker, with flecks 

 of white scales ; anal segments above and the whole underneath and sides bright 

 yellow. 



1 cJ from IIuatu.\(», Vera Cruz. 



A remarkable extreme development of the aberration macularia Warr.
