Hinilwiiiq : with slightly darker central shade ; the black dots of outer line 

 on a darker shade and farther from margin than in dositkeata. 



Underside paler ; with cell-spots and outer line of dots ; a smoky fuscous 

 submarginal clond on forewing reaching vein 2. 



Thorax and abdomen like wings ; palpi brownish ; face entirely pale ochreous, 

 almost white. 



Expanse of wings : 33 mm.

Distinguished by its small size and white face. 



293. Cimicodes latata Gnen., I'/tal. i. p. 50. ? 

 I have always been under the impression that the three forms pallicostata, 

 nigrolituratfi, and latata, described as distinct by Gnen^e, belonged to one and 

 the same species, latata being the ?. But among ten specimens, all SS, caught 

 at the same time and place, three belong to the typical paUico»tata and two to 

 iiigrolitttrata, these two forms being distinguishable from all the others by the 

 much paler, stone-grey, underside ; three more represent a form closely allied to 

 siibapicata Warr., but distinct from it and described below as new ; the remaining 

 two, both S S 1 correspond to Guende's description of latata. In these the fore- 

 wing is very decidedly longer and narrower than in any other form, and the 

 cell-spot of forewing is surrounded by a distinct pale ring ; but the distinguishing 

 characteristic is the position of the transverse line of the hindwing ; in all other 

 species I have seen this precedes the cell-spot ; in the two specimens I identify 

 as latata this line, much less distinct, as not being edged with ochreous, passes 

 outside the cell-spot. All the examples are labelled San Ernesto, Bolivia, 1000 m., 

 August and September 1900 (Simons). 



294. Cimicodes ruptimacula spec. nov. 



Foreicing : olive grey-brown or rufous grey-brown, very thickly sprinkled with 

 dark dots and striae ; costal streak not paler than ground colour, but without any 

 tinge of brown ; the lines almost exactly as in C. suhapicata Warr., both concave 

 outwards and parallel to each other ; the outer line is marked with pale dots on 

 all the veins ; the white spot on vein 7 is elongated and conflnent with the white 

 costal spot, so forming an irregular pale blotch ; there is no dark shade beyond 

 the lower half of snbmarginal line, but instead two blackish blotches beyond outer 

 line on each side of vein 3, representing the large black blotch of lugroliturata. 



Hiiiflwiiig: as in suhapicata, without any black blotches; the transverse line 

 preceding the cell-spot. 



Underside dull brownish ; the submarginal line blackish, dentate, or marked 

 by black dashes on veins ; the outer lino shown by i)ale dashes. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; face and palpi black-bnuvn ; forelegs 

 black-brown, varied with ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 58 mm.
