sciiliiijr, ending on fiirpwing in a large cream-white eostal blotch nearly filling np 

 the ai)ical jirojcction. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorons; legs ochreons, speckled with olive-brown. 



Expanse of wings : 00 — 65 mm. 



2 ? ? from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Pern, OOOO ft., June 19()2, dry 

 season (Ockenden). 



The smaller specimen is witliout the olive tint, plnm-coloured and oversj)read 

 above, except towards outer line and again towards hiudmargin, with a purplish 

 sheen, while the dove-coloured tint below is (juite dull, with the white markings 

 restricted to the cell-spots and the conrse of the outer lines, the ])ale costal blotcli 

 of hindwing being especially distinct ; the apical projection of fore\ying is very 

 decidedly shorter and the hiudmargin more bulged at middle than in the example 

 described as type. This Ibrm I call ab. prtinirolor. 



334. Microgonia subdentilinea s])ec. nov. 



Close to M. me.cicata Guen., but differing as follows : the marginal area of 

 forewing and the whole of the hindwing much darker, brownish olive ; the pale 

 blotch on inner margin beyond outer line larger, and tiuged with flesh-colour ; 

 costa of forewings olive-brown ; the shade following first line and the median shade 

 at costa dark leaden grey and more conspicuous. 



Underside of forewing entirely without the yellowish tint of mexicata; the two 

 olive-brownish clouds sejiarated by the paler space to anal angle, which occur in 

 that species, entirely wanting, the whole marginal space being greyish, with a 

 waved dark line from inner margin near to anal angle ; in the hindwing the dark 

 curved line is not simply curved and narrowed towards outer margin, but more 

 broadly curved, farther from outer margin, and luuulate-dentate, and the line is not 

 edged with paler. Face and shoulders olive-brown, like costal edge of forewing. 



Expanse of wings : CU mm.

335. Microgonia subductaria spec. nov. 



Also, like }[. suhdentilinea, allied to M. mexicata Guen., but quite distinct. 



The forewing differs from both in having the ajiex not produced and the 

 hiudmargin straight and more oblique. The forewing is darker grey with scarcely 

 any tinge of olive; the costa is concolorous with the groundcolour; the outer line 

 more curved and irregularly waved, and the pale spot of inner margin beyond the 

 enter line restricted in size ; the fringe concolorous, not rufous-tinged. lu the 

 hindwing the cross-line reaches the inner margin nearer the anal angle. 



Underside ashy grey, without brown or yellowish tinge, jialer grey beyond the 

 outer line ; in the hindwing the dark line is simply curved from three-fifths of costa 

 to two-thirds of inner margin without any projection in the middle towards outer 

 margin ; a darker waved subinargiual shade, also showing slightly on forewing at 

 inner margin ; fringe dark grey. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concoluruus, the abdomen along dor.sum and the 

 shoulders darker grey. 



Expanse of wings: 50 mm. 



1 J from 8. Javier, K. Cachabi (Flemming & Miketta). 



Distinguished at once by the more sombre coloration, non-falcate forewing, 

 and especially by the course of the line on underside of hindwing.
