to costa ; tliis line is really double, the outer arm fine, with a line of bluish white 

 scales between ; above the inner margin between the inner and outer lines is a 

 spot of black scales varied with bluish white, the area betweeu the lines being 

 deejjer, especially towards the outer line ; marginal area more thickly sprinkled 

 with bluish white scales, and with a submarginal line indicated by black pale-tipped 

 vein-dashes ; extreme margin and fringe deep brown. 



Ilindwing : with the two lines close together before the middle ; the rest as 

 in forewing. 



Underside of forewing brown striated with black ; the outer line diifnse, black ; 

 the inner margin before it, as far as cell, smoky black ; hindwing greyer towards 

 base, with coarse black striae. 



Head, pal]ii, and forelegs in front black ; thorax and abdomen brown dusted 

 with blue-grey scales ; the shoulders thickly blue-grey. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm.

 wet season (Ockenden). 



AVithout the c? the position of this species is not actually certain ; but it agrees 

 in neuratiou and all other structural details, as well as in the character of the 

 scaling. Of the two species described, both from ? ? , in iVbiJ. Zool. xi. pp. 5, 0, 

 and doubtfully referred to HemiopUsii H. S., one certainly, alternata, and probably 

 metallica also, should be j^laCed in Saccoploca. 



9. Saccoploca sordida spec. nov. 



Forewing : ochreous, sj)eckled and suffused with brown, the costa darker 

 brown, marked by two black-brown oblique streaks, one before, the other beyond 

 the middle, from which two very indistinct transverse lines start ; an inwardly 

 oblique line from apex to above vein 4, then curved outwards to anal angle, marked 

 by black spots between the veins ; the marginal area beyond it browner ; apical 

 area before the oblique line paler, bone-coloured ; fringe ochreous and brown. 



Hindwing : with costal third pale, without markings; the two black-brown 

 lines reappear below cell, thickening towards inner margin, which is likewise black ; 

 a diffuse submarginal line, blackish towards anal angle. 



Underside pale ochreous, witii sparse brown striae ; forewing brown-tinged 

 at base and again along hiudmargiu. 



Face, palpi, and front of forelegs dark brown ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen 

 brownish ochreous ; dorsum marked with black corresponding to the two black 

 lines of wings. 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



1 (? from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, 6500 ft, December 1902, wet 

 season (Ockenden). 



The tuft of hair in the abdominal fold on hindwing is ochreous like the wing 

 itself. 



10. Syngria candidata spec nov. 



Forewing : white ; the costal edge with short dark striae ; a thick brownish 

 ochreous vertical mark along discocellular from subcostal vein to vein 2 ; outer 

 line oblique from two-thirds of costa to above vein 7, then vertical and double 

 to vein 4, along which it runs shortly basewards and faint, then again vertical
