running siraight rrom two-thinls of costa to mi<l(llo of inner margin, where it 

 closely approximates to the outer line, and is continued across hindwing before 

 the cell-spot. Underneath the wings are densely speckled, the forewing also 

 suffused, witli brownish grey, and with a dift'nsc dark cloud from costa before 

 jiindniargin, leaving the apical space wlutisli ; in neither wing is there a trace of 

 outer angulated line, whicli in thee? is conspicuous. In the other ?, which is 

 ([uite jiale ochreons (being considerably wasted), the outer Hue and a more or less 

 waved, not straiglit, median shade form the edges of a brownish fascia crossing 

 both wings. In this case also, on the underside, there is no distinct outer line, 

 but only a submarginal shade on forewing. 



For the present I must refer them both to .sukrartufn. They are slightly 

 larger than the S, 27 mm. to 24 mm., and are dated November 10i)l, wet season, 

 from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru (Ocketiden). 



Paradoxodes gen. nov. 



Forewing : costa nearly straight ; apex blunt ; hindmargin well curved. 



Hindwing: unusually broad, the abdominal margin largely developed and 

 somewhat furrowed beneatli, constricted towards base ; hindmargin well rounded. 



Antennae (6) slender, filiform ; palpi short and stout, porrect, second segment 

 broad, third minute, button-shaped ; tongue and frenulum present ; hiudtibiae 

 thickened, with four spurs; abdomen slender, smooth, pectus not hairy beneath. 



Nenration : forewing, cell quite three-fifths of wing : discocellular unusually 

 fine, faintly outcurved below ; first median nervule at three-fourths, second close 

 before third ; lower radial from a little above middle of discocellular ; upper from 

 upper angle of cell; veins 7, 8, 9 stalked, Id and 11 free; hindwing, costal 

 ai>proximated to subcostal for nearly half of cell : veins ^^ and 7 both before 

 angles of cell. 



Type : Paradoxodes subdecora spec. nov. 



Distinguished from Pseustoplaca Warr. by the simple antennae of the cJ, and 

 from Certima by the smooth and slender body. 



34.J. Paradoxodes subdecora spec. nov. 



Forewing : dark brown, slightly purplish-tinged, witii a few scattered pale 

 scale's in places ; no distinct lines, but there are traces of darker curved fasciae, 

 one near base, a second more distinct in middle, and apparently two more towards 

 hindmargin ; fringe coucolorous. 



Hindwing : uniformly brown. 



Underside of forewing, with the base, except along costa, glossy bluish white, 

 the edge of the patch curved at one-third and diffused along inner margin towards 

 aual angle ; a deej) yellow si>ot beyond cell ; hindwing with three-fourths of the 

 wing bluish white, only the hindmargia remaining of the dark colour, broad at 

 apex, angled in the middle, and narrowing off to anal angle, where there is also 

 a streak of the white within the dark border. 



Heail, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; pectus bluish white; foretarsi dotted 

 with white. 



Expanse of wings : 39 mm.
